Forum Upgrade

" If we can't fix it we'll fuck it up so no one else can."

[mapper]

so does this upgrade include the sarcasm font?

[jonastio]

Yup.

[mapper]

For that sarcasm font, you can double your salary as the forum admin.

[jonastio]

It's funny because I was being sarcastic.

[mapper]

Well, damn.
I guess I'll have to hold out for the "tourettes syndrome" font in that case.

This is not going to happen.

I've been working at this on and off for the past year. I've been waiting for some plugins to become available, but it looks like version 5 of the vBulletin software is NOT 3rd party software friendly by design.
There is some core functionality that we utilize on the forum that is not available in v5, so it is just not a viable solution. I've looked at other software, but have not made much progress (data import tools are few and far between).
It's a little more imperative that I do something since the folks that develop vBulletin announced that they will not be releasing any more security patches for the version we are on.
I've been eye-humping the Xenforo software, but I have not been able to get their data import system to work yet. It WOULD be nice to get off of software that is as long in the tooth as vBulletin4 is.

You need to quit pussyfooting around about an upgrade. I want the Bling version... the one where you just look at the screen, it reads your mind, and does all the typing and will also hit send for you unless you deliberately cripple the auto-send feature in setup for a manual send, to sort-of eliminate the mind-porn... except of course for those who only send mind-porn anyway.

Look, if it's about the money we sent your salary increase paper work to H an Rah's and I'm sure it will include all your back pay when it goes through.
