So we may ditch vBulletin

For the first year-or-so of CD, I had a leased license from vBulletin. $90 a year or something like that. When my time was up, I purchased an "owned" license. which meant I only had to drop like $40 a year or something for updates.

Recently they decided that they're going to release vBulletin 4.0, but no matter what license you have, it's going to expire and you have to pay like $200 to get 4.0.

Fuck them

Fuck them in their stupid asses.

My license doesn't expire until June, so I'm good on updates until then. But I'm seriously considering moving to invisionboard.

Also I may need to take up a collection for it, because I'm broke as shit.

Would this imply a cooler reputation system?

i think we are all doomed.

i mean the apocolypse has already happened... twice. but this will definitely kill all live barely clinging to survival on this corner of the internet.

it's like a nuclear holocaust followed by a meteor strike followed by the sun growing into a red giant.

Yes, we are in agreement.

After the sun expands into a supergiant, it will consume will convert its mass finally into carbon. Its outer layers will destabalize and slowly diffuse outward into space until all that is left is a hot core, a white dwarf composed of electron degenerate gas, which will slowly fade into a cold, black cinder over the course of billions of years. It will NOT go supernova as it hasn't enough mass.

So okay my analogy was wrong. We are more like the sun, having already experienced our red giant and destabalization phases. We are undergoing the white dwarf phase, slowly expending the heat generated by the end of our life, but a passing star is going to swallow us up and suddenly arrest this slow cooling.

Why don't you just arrrgh matey a copy of vB it's not like they would know since we're so small. Maybe change the URL to a new directory or something a little bit to throw them off for sure.

while we're at it let's make members speak in pirate talk under threat o' walkin' th'plank (i.e. banniation)

even though of course pirates didn't actually execute people by walking the plank in real life but never mind that.

whatever star swallows us up, it better pay me $50,000 first.

Abandonware.

Tengu let's just not upgrade the license and stop getting updates bc I mean seriously if someone wants to exploit security flaws in our vB, who are we to say it won't be pretty lol?

upgrading VB is always a good idea

I mean anybody who remembers how much better LWS was after the upgrade that killed anarchy, style points, half the userbase, the store, most of our custom vb code, the games and the fun would definitely agree that we ought to stay on top of them
