After much thought and deliberation, I have decided against waiting to buy myself another vBulletin license (this would in fact be my fourth – one of which I co-own with my best friend) and instead install a less-expensive (read: free) forum solution and see how we go from there; I can always migrate to vBulletin further down the line if need be.
So, for those of you who have been patiently waiting and looking forward to the grand opening of the Resident Evil forum: rejoice! For it shouldn’t be too long now provided nothing goes wrong of course… ;)
