Moving TBT to more powerful forum software?

[Jrrj15]

Im down with it as long as these three things are done:
1.Keep cool animal crossing themed backgrounds of sort.
2.A bell system (Not really kinda)
3.And link (website url not link as in character

I'm all for it.

It's funny though how people are getting iffy about how they won't have their post count. I thought we claimed that post count wasn't "important".

I guess it's more of them feeling the need to show that they've been around longer. If we move to a new forum, the playing field will be leveled, if you know what I mean.

Isn't there a way you can have members send you pm of request to transfer the post count number and bells manually. Of course you would only do it by just copying the numbers on here. I know it would be massive work but with time and extra help it could be done.

I doubt vB has a currency system.

Sorry Burrows.

vB does have a money system that we will be using.

:throwingrottenapples: :throwingrottenapples:

So it's official, we're moving to vB?

I meant to say if we move. It's my mistake.

It's "quality over quantity" we never said quantity wasn't important, it's just quality's more important

Ah, I see.

This will give me a chance to not look such a spammer : D

Also, BBcode is nonexistent in vBulletin.

No wonder you say you don't like vB! It sounds like the forum you go to has completely stripped itself of all the features. Not only does BBCode exist in vB, it's must more customizable.

Is there like a test forum we can try out before/if we move? (That'd be nice)

Yeah, that would be a good option.

No because it costs money. There is only one vB4.0 forum up at the moment, so I guess you could test it there. It's in Beta. This is a support forum though, so I don't think it will let you post everywhere. http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum.php And do remember that it's in Beta (will be done this year). I can see now that forum has a skin issue... obviously not normal.

 

[Rockman!]

IMO, I really don't mind.

As long I can keep my name and friends, I'm cool with the idea.

Shmexy.

Well not necessarily. I have over 3500 posts and I love the idea and I don't feel the need to show how long I've been around.

Just my opinion. I can't read minds, so that was my best guess.

I'm checking it out right now, it looks pretty good.

But it won't run outta bandwidth like AXA right? D:

Quoting limited to 5 levels deep

I know, and it's pretty accurate because a lot of members (not just here) do seem to think themselves superior because of their post count.

If it gets too close to the limit I will upgrade the hosting plan. Just hope the ads bring in money lol.

Would you be able to transfer over the domain name? Or will it always be linked to this?

 

[Jeremy]

Would you be able to transfer over the domain name? Or will it always be ]Yes. This would turn to something like old.the-bell-tree.com

 

[GetSumSunBK]

I think its a good idea, i dont mind.

 

[Miranda]

I think idea is awesome. It's a chance for TBT to get bigger and better. Only good things can happen after the switch. Sure we'd lose post count...but seriously big deal!!! It's not gonna change who you are on the forum, we still know you the same, and we'd all be in the same boat so everyone would be affected.

This place would still be here for memories, but think of all the more memories that the new forum could make!! Change is good, TBT is growing up, it's 5 years old and wants to take off the pull ups and wear big boy undies!!
