Migration Alert; Switching Forums ETA End of this month

edited July 2014 in Help and Suggestions
Just a heads up, I am going to migrate from Vbulletin to Vanilla Forums.

ETA is end of this month, because it's June and I have University semesters final, so yeah, a bit pressed for time.


Reasons:
  • Has support for integration with Wordpress, I need this badly so people can post directly to it.
  • Is free and I don't mind buying for it.
  • I get full control over the licensing and if something goes wrong, as in I die at least others can pickup the work without worrying about ownership. (don't worry you can easily transfer stuff)
  • We can customize it and work on stuff
  • It's something we can all work on and it will be fun and you get to learn something new.

Other reasons:
  • We need to rework the forum as well
  • Need new direction
  • Need new management
  • Need fresh blood
  • Make the content clean
  • Make stuff happen

    Why not just get the VB liscense if you're thinking about UBB?

    UBB is coasting on the name. It's basically a shell company selling junkware.

    Woah! :eek: I thought we were gonna setup a testbed first! Dunna get me wrong. I like vanilla, but an instant committal is a pretty bold move brother. My logic and reasoning is saying hmm even though my penis is saying boing.

    Oh yah! & stay safe in pakiland, K? (nohomo)

    Testbed would usually just delay everything, it's either full committal or nope. Plus we will have a backup of VB and everything, it's just faster if you have everyone working on it at the same time and covering different aspects :).

    We can implement a theme changer in vanilla and circle jerk to a preferred theme as a team.
