Hey guys,

I know money is tight for most of us, including myself. But I just received an email from the vBulletin people:

You are receiving this email because one or more of your vBulletin licenses or services will expire in four weeks. Please read this email to learn about important changes to the vBulletin product offerings. The annual subscription and leased license products are no longer available. We are offering a one-time owned license for our Forum and Suite products - visit www.vbulletin.com to learn more.

If this is a support service, a renewal is necessary to be able to continue using the service.

If this is an owned license, you can continue to run your current version but will not have access to software updates. If this is a leased license, immediate action is required in order to continue running the software. You must purchase a license under the new terms in order to continue running the software or remove the software from your website.

If you would like to renew your support service or upgrade your license to a 4 series license, you can do so by visiting http://www.vbulletin.com/order/index.php

Remember to login in order to view your account.

Your customer number is J75076F416DC. Here are the licenses we have on file for you:

VBF6***37 -- vBulletin 3.x Forum (Owned); expires: Apr 17th '10; set to: amdusers.com

The upgrade cost to regular vBulletin forum is 175 dollars and the vBulletin suite is 250. The nice thing about these new licenses is that they include free product upgrades and lifetime licenses. So, I shouldn't have to ask for donations anymore for vBulletin (although our hosting fees will require donations still).

Anyway - if we are unable to come up with the money AMDUsers will have to shut down April 17 - vBulletin requires us to do so.

So if you are interested in donating please paypal it to donations@amdusers.com

If you want to send something via US Mail PM me for my address.

Again, I know money is tight. I'll scrape together what I can to help out the cause too.

Thanks,

Jeff
