I have a question regarding the licensing agreement...
I was wondering if I could link a couple of domains directly to a couple of private subforums for easy access. I don't want to advertise that these forums are available through the main forum display, and I don't want them accessible other than by the domain names.
To clarify, I want 2 out of, say, 10 forums that are accessible only by typing in the domain names. Everything is mine, all will be part of one site. I just wanted to buy 2 of domains to ease access to 2 forums. IE www.forum-b.com and www.forum-c.com go to Forum B and Forum C respectively, but everything is part of www.forum-a.com.
Is this legal as per the agreement? I just searched on this and saw a notice that the main reason for the 1 forum per domain was to protect from ISPs buying one forum and having a bunch of people use them under different names. Because this involves different domains, but really just one forum, I'm not sure this is possible.
I mean, I'm sure I can set this up legally with a subdomain, but it'd be great just to seperate the forum by a domain. These wouldn't be new sites, just a shorter way to access the 2 forums.
This isn't important, it's just something I was wondering about.
Thanks. vB is my xmas present to myself after I pay off other people's presents. (after a year of designing my site around vB!!
