As far as I know, migration from a different forum software to Cloud is not possible. Also, you will not have FTP/DB access with vB Cloud, you won't be able to download the software, a downloadable demo...

Just thought to revisit this. So, in the last five months a stunning number of additional 5 addons have made it to vbulletin.org. (Not to speak of the exactly 1 (in words: one) article about coding for...

You see, we all would gladly tell the OP to get all the unbiased customer's opinions on vB's own feedback forum. Unfortunately, the company thinks it is best not to show that feedback to new customers....
