Forum Consolidation

Forum Consolidation

As many of you are aware we are planning on a massive forum consolidation. We have chosen our forum software and our vendor who will be doing the work for us.

The conversion will likely result in some downtime on the order of up to 24 hours. I will keep you up to date on our plans and when we think we will be proceeding with this change.

Thanks for your support and I assure you after the update our forums will be much nicer and much more user friendly

We will not be continuing with vBulletin because Internet Brands (who acquired vBulletin) sucks ass and that my friends is a fact.

Thanks,
Ryan

Couple of side notes:

Starbucks will return.

SoRaged will be de-linked and made a standalone site.

We will be adding a new section for world design and building for custom UO experiences

Thanks!

Been wonderin when you'd do this. Maybe there'll be enough people on the OT section so that I'll be encouraged to post cat related videos.

Yeah I totally agree with you on the vBulletin sucking ass now. Eversince the main former vBulletin team was replaced.

Interesting. Can't wait to see the changes.

It's a shame Vbulletin has gone downhill the way it has, but such is life eh?

What forum software are you planning on Ryan? IPB? or a free one?

This excites me in indescribable ways.

I doubt they'd take up a free one.

We will be migrating to xenForo - XenForo - Compelling community forum software

I have a test board up at http://www.runuo.com/new-forum/

If you'd like to test, you can spam it and do whatever you'd like.

Ahh, interesting choice, I was tempted to buy it to replace my VB forum, to.

But I'm a little cautious given that InternetBully is sueing them, so I'm gonna hold off for the time being.

I'm not worried about that...

Hehe, best of luck with the conversion.

Have you noticed when using XenBlack pro skin you loss the forum tags on the top of the page??

I mean that: Hybrid -> Trade forums -> Price check.

It was more confortable for navigating on the forum.
