    Poll: vBulletin migration



    Hey all,



    So, it looks like vBulletin is the way to for these forums. I looked into buying their software, and I think the version we need is $180, but it is better than this software and the hosting will be cheaper. So, I am doing another poll - do we migrate to vB? Also, I may ask for some donations - it seems that some members were not averse to this. I may set up a PayPal link for this on SZ. Please don't send more than $5 - 50-60 members x $5 should do the trick. Special thanks to Xadam, who would guide me in migration process.

        Will we lose things like our private messages? There are some conversations I have that have info that I would need to refer to, so I'd like to know if I need to back those up and copy them or something. And if you migrate the forum, when would you do it?

          Soon - maybe next weekend, if xadam is around - cause we are running out of db space again. Supposedly the migration will be seamless, but as you know it never is. Maybe it's worth for people to write down important info.

                  yeah, i'm around next weekend, but not the one after. we'll back up the old site in case things go badly, so worst case, we'll be able to retrieve things manually if needed.

                        we should turn the where to shop thread into a printable guidebook, "where to get your goth ninja on overseas".



                        also, are any of you graphic-design-minded peeps interested in collaborating on a new theme for the site? pm me, we'll coordinate with faust.
