Umm... You seem to have things a little mixed up... vBulletin doesn't use CGI. It uses PHP and MySQL. (And if you don't know that, I suggest you don't purchase vBulletin)

If you want CGI, try http://www.f2s.com - No ads, 20megs of space with CGI. Don't use it's MySQL function though, they only have 5 megs of MySQL space, too little for a bulletin board.

The only MySQL host that I can think of right now it http://www.datablocks.net but they have this huge ugly pop-up and the images don't show up properly on their server. I wouldn't use them if I were you.

Coolin, he didn't mention ad-free. Therefore....

http://www.hypermart.com/
http://www.spaceports.com/

There's more, but I can't think of them right now ('cause I usually take more notice on ad-free hosts :p)

Or try and do a search. http://www.freewebspace.net/search/advanced.html

that's http://www.hypermart.net

UBB and Ikonboard are CGI Forums. Wake up! VBB and PHPBB are PHP forums, just look at the address! *points to the address bar* PHP!

[edit]

F2S's PHP is on SAFE MODE and screws up often: http://www.animebb.f2s.com (my VBB test board that i just abandoned)

I have an F2S account and my Vbulletin Board is working fine.. So it must be the settings that you have used for your Board.. As I have no problems
