what was the "system is backed up" message about last night? Is it time to switch from the vBulletin format so the site can compete with the others on the internet?

We had to have our server's OS restored last night. They had to back everything up, re-install the OS and then restore everything. They started a little earlier than I expected before I could turn everything off. I didn't expect it to take 12 hours to complete, but what can you do? It was recommended that we do it.

We will probably be upgrading to a newer vBulletin version that offers more features, but I don't think we would be switching to different software. It wouldn't be so easy to convert almost 5 million posts to another program.

Oh Ok, wasn't sure if you had to leave Bulletin altogether to keep pace with technology

What software do you think is better than vBulletin? What features do they have that is lacking in vBulletin? I don't think there's more customizable software.

Please whatever you do DO NOT GOTO VB4 or higher!!!!!

VB4+ is ugly/disgusting crap and I leave any site Im on that goes to it,its a disgrace to vbulletin!!!!!!!! (Its slower,etc)

We can goto vb3.8.7 and have more if you really think we do TJ,but i think the site is fine on what it has been on buddy

(Its quite fast,etc)

IM GLAD THINGS ARE OK!!!!!!!!!
