    Might need to ask them who they host their sites with and then check that host out. Also noticed something on their site about 50/50 split for ad revenue.

    Might want to ask about that to make sure your site will not be loaded with unwanted ads.

      If they pay for the license for the site and keep it. I believe its legall. However this is quite costly on their part.

            I would encourage you to find out a lot more about this before purchasing anything, including whether or not these are fully valid vBulletin licenses.

              Yes, all the licenses are purchased as owned licenses and are legitimate. We base our company off of purchasing and allowing our customers to use our vBulletin licenses for their forums, much like a web hosting company does, and we do not want to ruin a relationship with our main vendor for using pirated or hacked software.

              If you need any thing further Steve please let me know.

                Thanks Stan. I have verified that ForumDrop does have valid licenses.

                    Hi Express,

                    Yes we do have ads on the Forums that we host, but I would not say they are too overwhelming. It is the basis of our company to offer up to a 50/50 ad rev split on the gross dollar for he ads, and some forum owners do extremely well. Here is a sample of a forum that we host that has ads on it:


                    This is another one that we are producing that will do well once we get them going:


                    If you need anything else please let me know.

                    -Stan

                      So then I can use their services? I am very parinoid that this is illegal.

                        I cannot make any recommendations about using them or not. All I can state is what I did in post #8.

                          Sorry if this is considered a dead topic, didn't look too dead though, so here is my question. Since it is legal and all, do we get access to the member's area with it too?

                            I doubt it but that is a question you have to ask them.

                            This is not the FoprumDrop support forums so if you have any further questions you need to contatc them.
