As a vBulletin forum owner, I can tell you those ads are there because someone that manages/setup this forum put them there. My forum and many other vBulletin forums do not have any ads present. The purpose of those ads is to make money, plain and simple.
Unless vBulletin is giving away their software, we shouldn’t see any ads unless they were setup on purpose. I paid about $300 for my copy of vBulletin over five years ago, pay another hundred or so to godaddy every year for hosting, and my forum runs ad free.
I’m signed into the forum right now and I see ads. Nothing wrong with that, it’s the site owners business how the place is ran. I simply stated that ads are not cool, and I think most people will agree except for the person making money if of it.
Regardless, that’s a whole other topic. I’m just asking if we can at least get a mobile version of this site or Tapatalk. In all honesty, I used to think the idea of Tapatalk was silly until I actually tried it.
