Ok... Not super comupter guy, but i have a few questions

[KATAIKENNELS]

I'M HJOPPING SOMEONE CAN HELP...

WE CURRENTLY HAVE MULTIPUL MSN GROUPS, MSN IS CLOSING ALL GROUPS... WE WANT TO USE VBULLETIN TO MAKE NEW GROUPS..

I UNDERSTAND THAT WE WILL HAVE TO GET A WEB HOST THAT SUPPORTS THE MIN REQ. OF VBULLETIN...

BUT HERE IS MY QUESTION...
DO WE NEED TO BUY MULTIPUL VBULLETIN PACKAGES TO HAVE MULTIPUL GROUPS? EACH WITH THERE OWN SET OF ADMIN AND THERE OWN THREADS??

AND IF SO CAN SUCH GROUPS BE HOSTED ON THE SAME WEB HOST???

EXSAMPLE:

WWW.GROUPS.COM BEING THE MAIN PAGE (NO VBULLETIN SOFTWARE)
THEN HAVE MANY PAGES OFF OF THAT MAIN PAGE

EXSAMPLE;

https://WWW.GROUPS.COM/GROUP1

https://WWW.GROUPS.COM/GROUP2

https://WWW.GROUPS.COM/GROUP3

WITH EACH HAVING IT'S OWN SET OF ADMIN AND IT'S OWN THREAD LIST..

I HOPE SOME OF THIS MAKES SENSE.. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT..
I CAN BE REACHED AT [email protected]

Each installation of vBulletin requires its own license. From your description, it appears you need multiple licenses.

If you want a single community with multiple forums like this forum site, then you need one license.

that's what i though, thanks... A "single community" like this one one has one set of admin though right? That has full control over all forums??

Thanks for the help...

We won't provide support for third-party addons. You would still get support for the standard vBulletin system.

To make sort of like "chatrooms" the social groups in "User CP" > "Social Groups" seems to be a good tool for what you would want,

You need a domain (ie www.groups.com) and a hosting package to put your vBulletin installation on it.

Please, for future referance, do not type in capital letters as that often represents shouting and it is also a lot harder to read.
