Forums upgrade coming

We will be updating the forums soon to vBulletin 4 (I hope to have a timeline posted here when I find out when). It is currently being tested and the feedback has been all positive.

Some new/improved features vBulletin 4 has:

- Improved search

- Greater customization

- Facebook integration

- Redesigned UI

- A Mobile version (Coming)

- Native support for video embedding

- Enhanced member profile pages

During the preliminary discussions we had considered deleting some of the older posts in the database to improve the efficiency of the forums and to speed up the migration, but have since decided that we will keep them all.

We did however, decide to once again delete accounts that have not posted in the past year. So if you know of someone who has not been active in over a year and would like to keep their profile, you might want to notify them asap.

Deleting inactive users is something we have done on a number of occasions over the years. I guess you could call it house cleaning. It is not to punish them for not being in here. It is simply done to clean up the server which allows the boards to run better. Many of the accounts are where someone has come in briefly, posted once or twice and never again.

I will find out soon when all of this will happen (and will announce it in here). I do know that because we will not be deleting any older posts or threads, it will cause the forums to be down for extended amount of time (a few hours).

I will let you all know. Thanks, S

YES!!! Another mass banning, or a forum genocide as I like to call it!! The last good one was in Oct 2006 :clap:
