Message:: [QUOTE="gxseries, post: 212346, member: 4373"]No, vBulletin is NOT open source - it's specifically proprietary if I am not mistaken. Peter does pay for this forum if I am not mistaken and it doesn't come cheap. No idea where you got the idea that this forum is free. Indeed it's free for us but not free for Peter. I refuse to debate the greatness of open sources in here (as well as it's not the right place) but chances are that either one knows HOW to edit and / or customize it to one's preference OR simply have zero idea how to use it. Telling others who have zero experience in IT to use a new software is as fatal as "walk down the road unaided". Yes, you have 14 years - what good is it for people who have zero? I don't recommand ANY software unless I am ready to explain to anyone who have zero background with any softwares. I can assume that some had difficulties signing up this forum. It does seem trivial but not for everyone. Personally if it's not user-friendly, I care zero about how great a software can be even if it's free. The very reason why I didn't really like the software. I do know some great open source programs but this isn't in one of my lists. Moderators perhaps it's better for this thread to be moved to the "Support and Feedback" section.[/QUOTE]
