Just a little newsletter, I guess as to what is going on

Coming in a couple weeks, maybe sooner I will be partnering up with a guy who is extrmely well versed in all this stuff as well as programming. We will have an arcade, get rid of the antispam and do much much more.

This might mean a change to VBullitin though. What are people opinions on changing to Vb instead of IPB?

What are some features you'd like to see here? As for the tracker/torrent folder, we are still considering this and it may or may not be added.

all sounds exciting, but i'm not sure about changing to Vb, how is it different to IPB?

keep IPB.. VB really sucks. I would come to the board alot less if it was with VB

well VB has a lot more that you can do, and would allow my partner to be able to integrate a lot of different things/write his own code.

An example of VB is: http://www.web-life.org

RealDave, in your opinion, what are the disadvantages of VB?

**CAM1** · 08-02-2004, 07:49 PM

wouldnt you lose all posts and members if you switched to a different forum software?
or are VB and IPB backups compatible?

i would still use VB.. I just don't like the layout as much and I'm more use to IPB boards

Not sure what others think though

IMO Vb looks so different, it doesnt look like a fun forum it gives the impression of a very strict forum. I hate VB looks and it would tied me over as to visiting her less and less becuase i find them annoying to navigate and use.

Keep with IPB, it looks so much better, the features that VB has are nothing really compared to the looks and genral style of IPB.

It would also mean everyone losing all of there posts, thewre post count, the board layout, EVERYTHING will be lost. It would take alot of work to start the site up again.
