	That would kind of defeat the whole purpose of this being a descendant of the original Acmlm board... Although I do agree that the vBulletin has many great features, it is way too bloated now. ____________________

Also, aren't vBulletins still really pricey?

I like custom boards the best, actually. There used to be a lot more of them before almost all Web sites standardized on a few big board systems

And often with the same dull pastel blue and white colour schemes, too.

Since this is one of two descendants of the original Acmlm's Board, it is obviously running off AcmlmBoard code. After all, that's why it's called AcmlmBoard. =P

Switching it to vBulletin, SMF, MyBB, whatever would just be defeating the purpose of this board. =/

Vbulliten is garbage. I hate it more than any other board type. I would immediately leave if this place switched to it.

Also, I was never a fan of the whole "subforum" thing that so many modern boards have. Like, not all fora are listed on the index anymore, you have to click on some fora to reveal other fora. Isn't that what the categories are for, to group fora? With sub-fora, I often forget that a forum even exists, much less remember to check it regularly.

And boards that default to E-mail notification. Ugh. I don't want you to spam up my E-mail account with "Someone replied to your thread!" "You have a new private message!" "Someone else posted in a thread that you posted in back in October!" "Someone looked at your thread!". If I want to know those things, I will check the actual board.

I prefer AcmlmBoard's single "Edit profile" page over the complex multi-page user control panels at most boards. I don't want to have to figure out which of 15 pages has the option to change the time zone or which one lets me turn off the damn default E-mail notification. To change your sig on a phpBB, you have to go to User Control Panel, then Profile, then Edit Signature, waiting for each page to load. Here, it's just Edit profile and scroll to the signature field

Plus, what other board has post layouts, posting syndromes, post numbers being given as xxxx/yyyy, HTML support, and all kinds of other things I'm accustomed to AcmlmBoards having?

I love the coloured usernames, but most boards that have them only use them for the online users list. At non-AcmlmBoards, I'm constantly going "wait, that user is a moderator? That one is banned? I didn't know, their colour is not different!".

And, possibly above all, I grew up at Acmlm's and have so many good memories of it and of many other AcmlmBoards

Edit: Oh, and the sidebar goes on the left, please and thank you. Not the top or the right. Sheesh. I guess it's like the switch from menu bars to ribbons. Why mess with something that isn't broken?

I'd explain, but it looks like Terra did a good job of that already.

Anyway, I'd like to know why you think it's better and what "faults" you have supposedly found with our system, Dark_liveX.

	Originally posted by Zero One FORUM NEWB ALERT What's wrong with vBulletin? Nothing really wrong with it. I've owned a copy myself some time ago, for my now extinct website "FFAlexandria". It can be useful for newbies since it's fairly easy to navigate and has loads of features that are similar to email. But it can also get 100 times more complex than it needs to be. Its also a resource hog, with pages and pages of code for 1 file, takes up a lot of database space, and allows for uploading attachments which can reduce your server space to 0mb pretty fast (if you didn't have unlimited space like Jul does). The plus side is there is a whole community for modifying the original board with hacks or add-ons and you can custom your own very easily, if you have some PHP/mySQL knowhow. Its like the Windows of the forum world. Big, easy, prone to problems, bloated, but still preferred by the general public. ____________________

Though I've used phpBB3 for a small class board, it was a small class board and I can't imagine Jul running something other then on an Acmlmboard and/or modifications thereof.

Right, let's pay for a message board that has all the suck of PHPBB and then some. Um, no. VBulliten and PHPBB are the two forum systems that piss me off more than any others with their retarded designs.
