This is a si'mple yes/no poll. Disbecausesion allowed but keep it brief please.

Me and Hydro have been talking and, as Invisionboard is pretty weak, we may be changing to vBulletin. Although it is not 100% set in stone that we are.
There is a topic in the staff area about the same subject and if the majority of staff vote Yes then we will then come to this poll and look at member views.

The preview is here: REMOVED

If we do switch we will be able to transfer all posts and members to the new forum so you don't have to worry about losing all your stuff. There are many new and I'mproved features on it, one, which I love, is no li'mits on I'mage extensions, meaning you can have your Gunbound stats etc, something IVB won't allow.

I don't want to influence your vote but I'd say it would be a turn for the better, that and I spent ages installing it and changing the themes etc.

UPDATE
A landslide Yes vote means we will be switching in the next week or so. All your posts and profiles will be saved and transferred.
We will try to keep downti'me between switches as short as possible so please bear with us. If Hydro can't install it correctly I'll lend a hand (I can install them in under 5 minutes)

Until then try and enjoy the remaining few days of the Invisionboard NeoCodex.

ok, it will be better guys, the staff already had a look at it, its amazing!

[Dan]

I also think it will be a turn for the better. Statistically, vBulletin is alot better. There are endless possibilities, its like InvisionBoard plus.
Vote yes.

I voted yes, and will it work good with aol, because this site doesn't work correctly someti'mes with AOL.

[Dan]

Yes, you will have to register again - I think (?)

[Typhoon]

Read my post, you won't have to reregister.

[Charlie Hustle]

[Dan]

But It would save the Admins more ti'me if we just re-registered?

[Charlie Hustle]

noone wants to lose all their posts

[Typhoon]

No, there's a script that changes setting in the database to vB settings so you don't have to reregister.
