Need to change the software being used
Posted: Sun Dec 26, 2021 9:55 am
There's no real way around it, I'm going to have to change the software before it's too late. It's becoming increasingly difficult to get into the ACP and I'm scared that the day will come eventually where I'm locked out for good.
We have a few options though. I could just use e107 because it has the ability to import all the users and posts easily, I could change to a different free solution (SMF, YaBB, et cetera), or I can hold out a little longer and hope that I can get vBulletin within the next 6-8 weeks.
e107 has all the features I want, and is free, but it's antiquated and hard to do CSS for it in a way that looks right.
phpBB is easily the best free BBS software, so anything I replace it with in that regards is going to feel like a downground.
vBulletin just costs a lot. I could maybe pay for vBulletin cloud, but at $20/month I could have paid for it a year from now.
