Luigi Severus Fletcher Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 Should this forum be run by vBulletin? vBulletin is another forums host with quite a few features, I'm not sure if it's free, but I am signed up to two vBulletin run forums. So should this forum be run by vBulletin?
Dean Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 I believe forum management is quite happy where we are, but suggestions are always welcome.
John Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 There would have to be a compelling reason to change and at the moment I can't see one.
Dan F Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 Why? As John's said, there'd have to be a very major reason why we'd look into changing the forum software, which there isn't at this moment in time. There certainly isn't a reason why it should be vBulletin, which doesn't particularly offer any major differences, when Invision (for which we have a paid licence) gives us all we need. Even if we were thinking about changing, sadly the size of our database (coming up to 7 years worth of posts and member data, following the forum crash of 2005) does pretty much make it impossible for us to upgrade to the latest version of Invision, let alone migrate to another service, without losing everything. This discussion of upgrading has taken place between Chris and I, and in either case we'd most likely be having to start everything from scratch.
Pierced Musie Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 This may be a little off topic but I have to ask. If the Invision upgrade it needed would it be worth deleting old posts (05-07) from certain sections of the board? I don't know much about this stuff but would it declutter the place and make the upgrade easier? As for the topic... why move things when they are in a perfect place?
LauraPhilly!! Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 I personally love this forum the way it is so I don't think it's necessary to change ... !
Dingo x Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 ^Agree with Laura. The forum is perfect the way it is.
Inactive User Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 ^Agree with Laura. The forum is perfect the way it is. *nods in agreement* I think the forum is always perfect the way it is and no need for it to be changed.
elikell Posted February 24, 2012 Report Posted February 24, 2012 I think this forum is perfect just the way it is and there's no need to change it
