Okay, folks, I posted on the vBulletin support forums and asked how the registration process worked. They told me that we can buy a leased license (which is pretty much just a board that's on loan to us from vBulletin) for a mere $85, then within 30 days we can upgrade to an owned license (which is technically much cheaper because it is a one-time fee rather than a yearly fee) for another $85. Yes, that means it's $10 more expensive unfortunately, so we have a choice. Raise enough money for a leased license, then make absolutely sure that we'll have enough to upgrade within 30 days (otherwise it is full price again), or just raise $160 initially and go for the owned license.
