Should Apolyton use vBB instead of UBB? Got spare money?

Just came from the Europa Universalis site and recently they switched to a new forum type. I was stunned! It was superquick, much easier to do polls in the thread, better looking, and had much more options for your personal profile.

What was the forum type? vBB! Many new sites have been used this one instead of the UBB type used by Apolyton. And the best thing is UBB posts and threads CAN BE transfered to vBB

Here is their website: http://www.vbulletin.com/

And here is an example of vBB at work: http://www.europa-universalis.com/forum

I completely agree. What's more, MarkG was clearly hinting at this about three months ago. Now Version 2 is here, no reason at all not to switch! Viva PHP and MySQL!

Tired of ads?

Sounds like a good idea. Will enable shifting over to branched thread format. Good work, Imran.

Branched thread? Where do you get that crazy idea from? Did you look at the example forum?

I wouldn't be opposed to a new board if it works for the admins, but I think that the current board is great and while I don't have as many posts as you all, I have no gripes with the system. So I'll vote to keep the current board, just so that I won't have to re-register or anything like that.

Plus, the titles that everyone has worked so hard in the OT form to get will be gone in a quick puff of smoke if we change boards.

reismark: Last time the issue was raised MarkG posted something like "No comment" rather than the usual "We have no plans to do this now or in the near future". The point was made all the more obvious by the fact that he had made exactly such a comment on the question of OpenTopic (another BB system) just a week earlier.

*raises conspiratircal eyebrow*

Markos, why are we going to shift back to having Nate Snitzer run the boards? I mean, I'm happy about the shift to branching threads. But Nate doesn't know all the new stuff going on here.

I went over to that Europa Universalis forum and was quite disappointed. It was a lot slower then apolyton and I couldn't open any of the threads; they just gave me a blank page. The black background is also an incredible eyesore.

Whatever you do, please don't change the gray backgrounds and black text. Light text on dark backgrounds gives me a headache and makes it hard to read the text.
