I am making an xbox live based site made with vbulletin. No i didn't make it for competition for xboxnation.net. in fact i love this website. but i need some help and questions about vbulletin. could you reply Imperial?

[Imperial]

Yes...?

1.Does Vbulletin host itself?
2.how long does it take to get online?
3.is it hard to set up?
4. is it hard to put in a skin?

1. No, vBulletin software is simply software. You need a webhost with PHP & MySQL capability.
2. Depends on your level of customization. Can take a few hours to a few days for full settings. You'll also need to be fully aware of forum infrastructure & knowledge terms otherwise you'll be doing a lot of catch-up reading.
3. You need technical knowledge for some areas. You need to have your MySQL database connection info handy, standard text editor, and you need administrative interface common knowledge.
4. Skins aren't hard to put on. But they are hard to customize. Most people purchase their own. In order to truly customize a skin, you'll need HTML skills as well.

Any other vB related concerns are addressed in the FAQ @ vBulletin.com vBulletin® - Frequently Asked Questions - Sales

After reading that page, whatever interest (not that I ever had any) of being an administrator, went right out the window.
