I wanted to try out vBulletin for a new forum so I was going to start with the cloud version. I wanted to better understand what types of websites you guys allow. For instance, the forum I was going to create, I wouldn't put it past users to post videos and posts similar to what's seen on reddit. What's allowed versus what's not when using cloud version, or either for that matter?

Hello,
The download version allows anything so long as it is legal where you live or host. Our cloud version has greater restrictions such as no adult themed sites. To read both the license agreement and cloud service agreement which species the limits please check here: https://www.vbulletin.com/en/license-agreement/
Please note that for both versions while it is easy to embed videos (such as from youtube) uploading video clips directly to the site is more difficult. The software allows file attachments but there is no media player included with the software. Therefore you would need to create a custom BBCode to play (for example) mp4 videos directly. There is a topic around here that documents how to do this but video files can be huge and the software is not designed for attachments the size of full length, HD videos. It would not be an ideal combination. Embedding off site is much preferable. -
I created a video player mod for self-hosted version. I didn't create one for vBCloud (although technically possible) due to the attachment size and bandwidth restrictions of vBCloud.Comment

I have these notes in the mod. I'm not sure if vBCloud can do all of these.- Make sure your server has enough storage for uploaded videos.
- Make sure your server has enough bandwidth for high data traffic due to large videos.
- Make sure you can set Attachment Storage type to File System instead of Database.
- Make sure your server is powerful enough to handle large video uploads.
- Make sure that Max Post Size and PHP Maximum Upload Size values in PHP configuration are equal or greater than the Max File-size you set in the MP4 extension. Ask your host if you need help changing the PHP configuration.

- Uploads on Cloud are limited to 20 Megabytes system wide. I do not foresee this changing in the future.
- Bandwidth varies depending on the Cloud package purchased.
- All attachments are stored in the file system on Cloud. This is the recommended setting for all vBulletin sites.

Sorry.. The upload size is 15 MB. The max post size is 20 MB. Limiting for MP4 using h.264. Less limiting for more modern video codecs and containers.Translations provided by Google.

It's not practical to use any version of vBulletin primarily as a video platform. It's not designed for that purpose. -
I have a customer who uses my video mod and they said it works for them. But I don't know if they use vB primarily as a video platform or not. -
I remember I had another customer who use vB primarily for images and videos and it was from his request that I created this video player mod for.
