I know I'm no one here and my opinion is worthless, but I don't think that's such a good idea. I love this type of forums and don't think the new engine will be better. I think this forum right here feels like home. Still, I can't stop the change and am obviously in the minority, so good luck.
understandable, though I would still recommend to wait before passing judgment. as we really have nothing to go on other than a more modernized banner, currently
though preferences for current aesthetics and all aside, them updating to a newer more modernized software should in all likelihood be better for security as well. which I don't know how secure modern vbulletin is, but if one of the decisions to switch to xenforo is because of jeremy concluding that staying on vbulletin could cause security issues (which because of tbt having as large a userbase as it does, I'm sure he takes this very seriously), well then....
However, I can tell that Justin would make sre the upgrade would make TBT still feel like the same home as before.
I mean jeremy's running the place, but otherwise, yeah
I can see minor tweaks and all, such as how they changed the banner. huge major overhauls in design outside of some possible ui changes would be surprising though
the new server doesn’t seem all that bad, though.
not wrong, but just remember the server and software aren't the same
to compare with new horizons, the software is how the game is even able to be played to begin with (so the switch), while the server would be what would allow you to connect online with people (uhh.... these are literally also servers lol)
in this case, the software (vbulletin now, xenforo soon) is what allows tbt to run as a functionable thing. while whatever server host jeremy is paying for allows tbt to connect online and for all of us to be able to access it via also connecting to the internet
