Per license.

I have purchased a license. Am I allowed to run two copies of vBulletin?

You must hold a valid vBulletin license for each individual installation of the software (regardless of whether the two installations are on the same domain name or server). For example, if you wish to install one copy of vBulletin at http://www.yourserver.com/forum1/ and another copy at http://www.yourserver.com/forum2/, you will require two licenses. Please note that the license agreement specifies that you must submit the URL where your vBulletin license(s) are installed (via the online members area). For complete licensing terms and conditions, please click here.

straight html - when you post a message it gets emailed to an admin and they update the forums.

I would say check out punBB. It has a great feature set, but with a lot less security updates than phpBB (so far at least.)

Plus I just like it a little more.
We need less Democrats and Republicans, and more people that think for themselves.

Up until a few weeks ago, they were using a custom BASIC program running on a TRS-80.
