Some of you have heard about Forum Drop

Basically you can sign-up and get a vBulletin License and hosting for free. One of the catches, they get to put ads on your forum and you split the revenue 50/50.

This sounds okay for someone who is just starting out. Ah but wait there is a new catch….

Well they have now added a new set-up fee of $150.00. That’s right 150 bucks. Now if I am not mistaken, you can get a domain name, pretty good hosting and a leased VBulletin license for a year all cheaper than the $150.00 one time set-up fee.

Better yet you can ad your own advertising if you choose to do so and keep the money yourself, to pay to upgrade to an owned license.

This is just a bad deal all the way around.

So yes to me at least, Forum Drop is a sham.
