just got an email from TOB saying they have switched to vBulletin... I am sure you will all have them as well if you check.

I got that message. So, what does this switch mean for us? is vBulletin a better system?

Interesting! I just got the email myself. I think I will just stay here as long as this forum is jumping and the Admin is so on top of things. I think Leigh Landeche is a stand up guy and a hard worker, but I do not like dealing with Kimbalimba, and she will still probably be the primary moderator there. Leigh is to busy doing web development to moderate the forums.

edited to add: When he (Leigh) was working for me I wish I could have cloned him.

Yup, and the powerful vBulletin software has even enabled them to import all the old messages and users from FireBoard. Again illustrating what a great package it (vBulletin) is. We knew our actions, going in, would likely provide the well-needed kick in the pants at TOB, so we're not surprised.

We also told ourselves, up front, that we would commit to a year, even if it was totally at our expense, which, at this point, it totally is. We thank everyone for their support so far, hope you'll stick around and we'll still be talking here this time next year.

I receive an error everytime I go to their site and click on Forums. I have to pull up Task Manager and close that session.....it is the only way I can get rid of the error.

The funny thing is when Landeche was working for himself and had his own site he dipped into his pocket and paid the money for vBulletin as well. When going to work for someone and they want open source, then they get what they pay for. I am sure Leigh would have liked to use vBulletin from the start.

while I'm sure the Admin here could help you, you might try posting that question there...oh, that's right, no one answers questions there.

TOB is begging now. I say we don't reset our passwords. We can live without that board.

Just have to spread the word via emails, cell phone text etc.
