This is just my opinion. But I seriously think this forum should be converted to SMF (http://simplemachines.org). I hate vB. Plus it isn't cheap...

Heres some reasons why it should be converted...

Its FREE
I hate it so much how you can't get a link to a certain post without jumping through hoops to get it
Its a LOT less resource intensive (vB is known to be a resource hog, and banned on quite a few hosts, especially free hosts)
Its more user friendly
Your profile is setup better, such as you can see YOUR posts YOU made in YOUR profile... vB you have to search for it or something
(They have a brain to not show register link when your LOGGED in)This is just my opinion... I though think it would be a very wise decision :)

I think the register link comes up when you're logged in as the theme isn't coded correctly, as for swapping to smf, the whole inet network uses VB so I don't think we'll be swapping even if everyone wanted to.

Well, all that things can be added with mods, except the free license lol

>.> vB sucks though. If a forum system that costs money, and in order to be as good as a free one you have to install mods... That should tell you something... STOP USING VBULLETIN! If it once again can't compete or match SMF without mods, thats sad...

iNet has developers that are hired just to maintain vB. It is used across the system and it has seemed to work for all the forums in the system. If you have all the forums the same, it seems easier to take care of them all. Wouldn't you think? Even though vB costs money, it is worth it because of all the custom time that we take to develop this communities. We use the software for a reason and it won't change :)
