Just so you all know, Ive purchased VBulletin!
[spoiler:38lyi9pa]vb.png[/img][/spoiler:38lyi9pa]
With their new pricing structure (buy a license and its your's for life with no renewal fee's ever), I figured now would be a great time to make the investment. Our member donations helped out with about $20 of the costs. If anyone would like to help out (any amount would be helpful), you can donate here: http://offtopix.com/donate.php
VBulletin is a very powerful and professional software that I always have admired and it has many many many more features, modifications, and control than phpbb3. Weather you are for or against the change, I'm sure it will take a period of adjustment for all of us here and we will get past it in no time.. Know that it is for the best and the sky will be the limit for us now.
I have purchased 4.0 Publishing Suite
To see/join a live demo of what we are going to have, go here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/
I will summarize a few things I am excited about:
- Your profile page will be fully customizable and sort of like a myspace or facebook page. Where you can add friends, leave comments, etc etc.
- We will be able to install or sorts of widgets
- We will have vb's CMS (content management system) at our disposal. Not sure if we will be using that yet or not.
- You will be able to create your own photo albums.
- You will be able to start up your own fully customizable blog here.
- Plus the millions of other features that Ive yet to discover.
I will keep you updated on when the software conversion will take place, when it does happen, you will be asked to reset your password.. So make sure your contact email address here on Off Topix is valid one.
