Ok well I have planned to try and build a forum for quite some time and always figured I would go the Vbulletin route although I am curious as to if its necessary to do right now....I am familiar with a bit of html aswell as do most of my own graphic work and will be dropping some change to really try and get the forum on its feet. Should I get one of these freebie boards untill it gets enough activity then go with vbulletin and transfer over or is that a headache?? I'm not even 100% sure of what vb is, is it mainly a software that is a forum control panel so to speak and what is the difference between vb and abadvanced as I have seen mentioned around.
I would like to get something going soon, but I just dont want to get over my head...Is it fairly easy to install and get up and running and also modifications to your forums wether it be deleting posts, changing colors of the forum etc. is that done via vbulletin or is that done more through coding html??
also I know I am going to need someone to design me a custom skin does this take along time should I build the forum and design etc and THEN get the license so theres no dead months..or is getting a custom skin fairly quick once you have an idea of what you want colors etc.
All and any help would be highly appreciated...I know I am ready to make it happen, just not really sure of the best steps to take and dont want to backtrack...
