I'm using addonchat, pretty good.

Well, a test demo doesn't show how the software will perform or work on your server. That's why many try pirated versions first to see "first hand" if they might encounter problems before buying...

[MRGTB]

I wouldn't agree with that statement myself at all. Look around the web, there are plenty of old forums that's never changed the look from default doing well, and using both old and "free forum software"....

[MRGTB]

Ha! Suppose you could really. Anything for another bank holiday.

Read something comical about this date on another forum other day. The questions was asked there, should the UK also celebrate the 4th July because of it's ties with the US. Don't think they realised...

[MRGTB]

It makes sense if you're in a rush to start a forum now, rather than hang on until vB5 is here. Then start with vBulletin 4 to avoid the headache of trying to convert another brand of forum software over...

You wouldn't spend £150 twice, there will be a cheaper option to upgrade your vB4 licence to vB5 later (£150 + cheaper upgrade fee to vB5). The more expensive option will be to buy vB5 from fresh, no...

[MRGTB]

It should balance itself out really cost wise, you'd shouldn't be any worse off buying a vB4 licence and upgrading it later to vB5. Than you would be waiting and buying a vB5 licence outright instead...

[MRGTB]

Wow Mark! You've sure changed your tune, you creeping for a staff job or something, or been brain washed? You never used to shut up putting vBulletin down on hundreds of other sites for many years. ;...

[MRGTB]

Well you're covering the "Admin Niche". There plenty of them knocking around right now.

[MRGTB]

Think you better double check your signature link.......

[MRGTB]

That's the reason why I paid that fee to carry on downloading later versions of vB3 I had no access to get. If they changed that now, it would be unfair on people like me and many others who had to pay...

This might interest you: http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/

[MRGTB]

You could use the same password for each person, but you'd still have to add 100 usernames and 100 passwords I think, not 100 usernames and 1 password. Not sure though?

[MRGTB]

If you've been running them for 2 years 24/7. I would think about giving them a good service, cleaning all dirt and fluff away from internal fans. You'll be surprised how much cooler your PC's will run...

[MRGTB]

Just thinking, you said Patch Level 2, it's patch level 3. I installed Patch Level 3 files today, not 2

[MRGTB]

I'll check this myself, as I've updated to patch level 3 today on my vBulletin 3.8 install... will report back in a second my finding.

Works fine for me....

[MRGTB]

If you want to run a site proper, it has to be there 24/7 (all the time), and that's not something you'll find yourself doing when self-hosting. Like when you go to bed at night, you'll be thinking about...

[MRGTB]

I think Kim runs that site and used to create skins for IPB, later moved onto XenForo. But don't think she's bothering much these days.

[MRGTB]

Hmm, can't really say I buy into that one being honest. Just my own opinion, maybe they didn't have funds there to pay for auto renewal, but thought they had?...
