Moving TBT to more powerful forum software?

[Rockman!]

Wait, you said you were using vBulletin, correct?

If so, we could have a ton of kick ass skins for the forum.
One of my favorite forums, Pokecommunity, uses vBulletin and I think it would be awesome if you upgraded.

All of the vB forums I go to have hideous skins, lol. But that's because vB3 was hard to design.

Check out the skins here.
Don't look hideous to me.

I will be in IRC if anyone wants to chat about the possibility.

This is a great idea & to compensate for the loss of bells you could give peoples badges with the badge mod you can install on vBulletin. You could also have a badge for people who were signed up to this forum before the switch over.

I think that's an awesome idea.

We could try to put bells to use, letting you buy certain things with it, for instance, like a board? Or something less.

Only looked at a few, but they do look terrible.

vB requires a lot more work to skin nicely, but if done correctly it can be amazing.

We will do that and more, but Jas0n is talking about what to do to compensate for the bells people made here.

Does all vB forums have to be the width of the whole page?

I love the way nook joined pokecommunity as soon as you mention it.

I like the idea of buying a boards for an RP that you have to register for, like the EPIC. Then we can have RPs without idiots spamming it up.

Doubt it. Most forums in general are that way though. I like fixed widths personally.

Then noobs will take over, because they will think they have the most posts.

The money system for vB is much more powerful than on ZB, so you could do all that. People could also buy different coloured names with the vB money system, including glowing names, underlined names and bold names.

On the posts subject, it is, in theory, possible to give people their post counts back, it would just take a TON of work and require a lot more staff than TBT currently has.

(sorry for the double post) xD

Shame he'll lose all of his bells =D LOL.

 

[GetSumSunBK]

i think it would be a lot more reasonable to just start fresh instead of transfering evryones post count.

 

[IceZtar]

Wait does that mean we're deleting this TBT?

EDIT: I mean if we make the other one.

Storm said in the original post that this TBT would still be here, but only so people can read it.
