I have been looking at buying a vbulletin license but wanted to ask, has anyone every seen vB run a special?

Not that I can remember.

If you want discounted licenses then you have 2 choices.

1) Buy a few as a bulk and you will save some money
2) Buy 1 from a forum such as here

The best bet would buy a forum from someone.

But be very careful when buying from current owners. They could be scam artists.

Ask them for the license number and then e-mail support-at-vbulletin.com and they will verify it for you. :)

If they do not want to give it to you, don't even bother.

Or convince an affiliate to split the commission if you order through them. ;)

I got one a few days ago, so thanks to everyone who replied.
