[QUOTE="robdog, post: 375386, member: 1578"] I am throwing this out to the community and wanted to get some feedback. This site has been on vBulletin for a number of years and it has served us well. However, it has become increasingly obvious that in order for this site to continue to thrive and do well, we need to keep up with technology. Unfortunately, vBulletin is not the answer. A couple other sites within our network have been upgrade to a completely new platform, XenForo. (http://xenforo.com/) This is a neat little platform with awesome bells and whistles that are geared to make a community thrive in the right way. If you visit the above link, you will see the number of features it has to offer for its users. However, every cool thing comes with some drawbacks. Here are the list of features that will cease to exist if/when we switch: - Arcade - Packer Shop - Albums (for a little while) - Credits - vbShout (possible to bring back though) If a majority of members can live without the above then moving to XenForo is the right choice. It does offer a number great features that will really improve the overall "awesome" of this site. Here is a short list: - Facebook Connect - Built in Like System - Sleek/Innovative Design - Lots of Web 2.0 Capabilities - Lots of Awesome Javascript Effects - Built for Speed - Built for the Future of Communities... Anyways, post your thoughts here and let me know what you all think. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
