Ya this process has been long overdue, the forums have been migrated over to VB multiple times and I've tested it in the past, no information is lost - just have to work out some other kinks in the process. I'll PM you as well Jafula.

But...Gurb knows where I live! I can't mock him! He'll kill me!


Wait... maybe not!

Gurb is a tool anyways


Shame though, although i had my doubts about this forum software, kinda grew familiar (accustomed?) to it, what was the software you used before that ellay, was it phpbb?

[Ellay]

I used to use phpbb2.

To give a comparision when I first made the site it was on some crappy hosting that was $4.99 a month, woohoo! and the site at one point has 2100+ users on at the same time and it didn't crash, it was deadly slow but still stayed up.
With this software I had to migrate over to VPS and then eventually a dedicated server, as soon as 400+ users are on now it slows to a dead halt and sometimes crashes for $500+ every 3 months. It's time for a much needed change

I like vB3, it's pretty customizable and has lots of mods written for it. Since it can support both HTML and BBCode in posts, hopefully the transfer won't be too hard on people's posts. I'm suddenly glad that my posts are so bland, though.

I've got an uncle that has his own business dealing with renting out servers to major companies. He's got a shit load set up based out of Houston, Tx here in the US. He also builds websites for a living as well. I'll see if he's got a site with prices and everything if ya'll are interested in looking around for new or backup sources. Not sure what he charges on all of them though. But I know they're reliable. One piece of advice though. We ran into this problem this week, can you add a 'Report User' to everyone's profiles? We had someone fishing profiles and spamming everyone's emails till they were banned. Couldn't report them cause they weren't posting on the threads. Its only a matter of time before this'll happen again.
