    please help me vbulletin board

    i need to build a message board for renaissance art.
    sadly, places like invisionfree or photobucket don't allow nudity, no matter how tasteful it is.

    so i need a message board, with an image server, that handles adult content

    and i have no idea how to go about doing this

    money is not really a problem, i just want it to be easy
    and i'd like to get busy on my project NOW, not next week

    do i need some kind of lisense or something- that seems ridiculous.
    all i want to do is discuss renoir.

    You need a bulletin license. It's around $80-90/year. Take a look at http://www.vbulletin.com/ for more info. Make sure the web host you decide to go with allows adult content.

    Good luck.

    can i get a link to how i go about getting this license?

    and once i get it, can i find some company or whatever, that handles hosting, the board, the image server, all in one.

    can i pay someone to just do this for me.
    once it's up and running i can handle it, but getting it started frustrates me to no end.

    a link to something like that would be nice too.

    i think it's a human rights violation that i'm forced to endure all the smut they have on tv commercials, and i need a license, and all this complex computer nonsense just to discuss renoir.

    something is wrong with our society man.

    thanks for the help.
    i think i will only want 1 year to make sure i like everything, then go for the Owner license. does that work?

    does the license come by email instantly or does it take weeks?

    and what do i do once i get this license?
    right now i do use godaddy, but i don't like it much.

    can i have a link to what i do after i get this license?
    i need the message board, the (adult)host, and an (adult)image server.
    is there some kind of vbulletin package?

    see, i don't even know what a host or server is, so this doesn't make much sense.
    for my other board, i got some simple step by step instructions to set it up.
    is vbulletin gonna be easy like that?

    If I remember correctly, the license should be available instantly. Once you download vbulletin, install instructions will be provided.

    You don't have to use vbulletin for your forum software- there are a quite a few alternatives out there. Vbulletin still has the best admin functionality, but SMF can do just as good a job in general, and that's free.

    If you purchase a leased license and upgrade to an owned license within 60 days, you only pay $85. Otherwise, you pay $160.
    Big things coming soon

    Since money is apparently no object and with no guide to go on with what object it isn't. You may want to consider hiring someone in a webmaster type role to manage both the website/forums, and sort out the relevent hosting etc.

    You will need a legal vbulletin licence, which the link has already been provided.
    With regards to hosting you will definately need to consider your situation in relation to what hosts offer (eg. allowing legal adult content) and make sure you have enough resources to supply your estimated demand and ability to easily expand with little if any downtime.
