hayri 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 Hi all! I just wondered when I took a look at https://invisionpower.com/features/apps it says that I have to pay for the Invision Power Board. But the problem is, that I don't want to pay for a forum. The fact is, that (in my opinion) IPB is better than PhpBB. Is there any site which gives IPB for free?

dundun2007 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 No there is no other site that gives out free ibp forums. The invision company decided to make customers pay for there forums now and buy the license. Any free ipb forum that is on the internet is considered illegal. You can download their limited free verison of it though. It has a 200 member limit and a bunch of other limits but it can be found on the invision board site under free trial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunder 0 Report post Posted June 14, 2005 There are ways to get free Invision Power Board but it's not legal. I mean theres Torrent, and other P2P programs you can get it off so it's very possible to get and probably searching google can get you it for free. So i would say if you really want it just go on google search for the right keywords and you'll get what you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phyre 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2005 There are many sites that you can sign up for a free IPB, but its an older version [1.3 Final]. I believe there is a pre-installed IPB 1.2 in the cPanel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hype 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2005 Those are deems as not allowed by IPB already, so there's absolutely no way to use an IPB board legally, I've heard they also consider active trial boards as illegal and warez... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shadow 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2005 IPB is confused with what they want! They give out free trials, yet say they are illegal copies. They need to get their sh!t straight! So I spose you CAN'T get an IPB board legally, you can only STEAL IT!! (Don't listen to a word I say! LOL) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hayri 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2005 Thanks, Phyre. I installed ipb on my site. but is it a trial version or the full but outdated version? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool_Freaker 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2005 I thought any existing old IPB installations from 1.x were available for continued usage, though there was to be no more distribution of the software, so no new forums from the old 1.x are *supposed* to be made. There was a version of 2.0 which was unlimited Trial, but I'm guessing any of those would be deemed illegal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hype 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2005 Ya, that's what I heard, they're consider illegal... I even heard that someone was fined, but I wonder how IPB fine that guy.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
