What do you think of a forum community switching softwares?

Is it good or bad?
 
I think when Off Topix switched to MyBB, it was the best thing ever! This software is user and staff friendly. It's got a sleek and sexy look too! :lol:

I have, however, seen other forums that switch software way to often. It's like they get bored and just shut down the site for a few months and then come back with a new software. I've seen one site do this at least 5 times now. In my opinion, that's a great way to lose members and credibility.
 
All of our conversions were necessary, at least to me :P The most recent one was to help out my struggling wallet. No more paying for software licence renewals every few months with MyBB. :dance:

I seen a forum recently shut down and restart the entire forum from zero on a new software, that's a great way to lose credibility. At least when you convert, everything is still there.
