Any Ideas?

Okay I have a vBulletin license spare and I want to make some use of it. But what to do? There are so many forums about and so much competition. I want to make one that I can possibly monetize or at least earn something from but I just cant think of anything?

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

I am in the same dilemma, my plan is to use it for a forum where I showcase vbulletin skins I plan to sell, it would be a network site of this forum. I get A LOT of vbulletin skin requests because of this forums design so I think that's my best bet to use my spare license for.

I didn't realise you designed this skin. Its really good. I was looking through vbulletin.org the other day and some of the skins on there are not all that great. It seems there are tons of great skins for the phpbb forum software but vbulletin seems to be lacking somewhat in great skins. But this one on this forum is brilliant. Does it cost much to have a custom skin made?

I mainly design all the websites I run or help to run. Depends who you hire, my prices are here, Web Design Prices | Kalina Web Designs

From what I've seen, other designers charge $500 and more.

I just thought of an idea. Trading on forums seems so popular for selling domains and sites and services etc, I could create a traders forum, one which is moderated well and scams are kept to a bare minimum. I think this could be a great idea but could also end up being a real pain too. Well it gives me something to think about. If I did do it do you think I would be breaking any copyright if I called it itradersforums.com?

That is a great idea!
