Forum Switch?

[imported_envoy]

Hey Guys, I have been thinking about this and thinking about this, and it seems, no matter what I try and do with this phpbb board, something else seems to screw up, so I think we should switch over to vbulletin. There are a few things needed before we go about this. First and most important, is we need $160USD to get a license, second, I need to find out if we can convert the attachments over aswell, and last, we would need to make a new style for the board, since phpbb styles are different the the vbulletin ones, well as far as I know. Now, as for the $160USD, that's just $20 for 8 members, so if 25 members were to donate $5 via paypal, we would be able to purchase it. The last bit of donations went to the smcars.net name for a 2 year registration. Before anyone starts sending money in, we or I need to figure out about the attachments. As for the style, who cares right now, hehe, we have 2 more important things to look into. I will keep everyone updated about the attachments, I am going to search around aswell, if anyone else would like to help, that would be great.

I think I'll have a look aswell; $5 really isn't much.

I, personally, really dislike VB.... But if everyone else thinks it's better... :roll:
Maybe we could get someone who could rewrite the PHPBB board.. More work, maybe, but IMO, PHPBB is a lot better...

If I could, I will make donate, because SMCars are the best res which I know... But I can't, I am only 13 yrs and form czech rep...

heh... one huge advantage of this forum format is that it allows multiple attachments... I don't think I've ever seen a Vbulletin board use more than one...

and I'm not sure if it's just a configuration setting we've got over here, or something that is universal to phpbb, but I love it how if you don't use the computer for a while and you check back, the threads are still marked as new, instead of vbulletin's habit of marking the stuff read after you sign out, which can be as few as 20 minutes on the thing heh...

well, anyway, yeah, the only thing I like about vbulletin over phpbb is that the threads you've replied to have a little dot on them so it's easy to keep track of responses.

As I said, I am not 100% sure if we are going to switch, i Might just wait until phpbb 2.2 comes out, but still, feel free to donate.

But I probably won't be able... But well, already said that millions of times
