I looked at just about every message board product available. Unfortunatly nothing did what we were currently doing with the older v5.x UBB version and I knew it was in need of being updated for many reasons.
I asked around for assistance in finding a developer who could duplicate the current offerings while also adding additional features as they came up. There was only 1 single person out of all the products out there that made the offer who happened to be from VB. When I asked around the UBB area I got quite a few offers.
Knowing how heavily customized Hostboard is, user familiarity with its use and my knowledge of being able to administer it I decided to continue to use the UBB software based on the level of help that was offered. That being the re-write was actualy a good idea in the long run as every routine was then able to be custome written and geared towards our appliation and not for the masses.
I like VB and it community as even though I am a UBB system I have never been turned away or chastised. But rather always given comments, ideas & suggestions
