The Vbulletin script would REALLY change this whole forum in my opinion and bring it to life. This is so boring and dull, its unbelievable, theres so much more to do with Vbulletin forums. You can do anything, post actual web pages in posts, post youtube videos all of which show up directly in the posts you make, not just as links. All you have to do is copy/paste and whatever you highlight comes up exactly as it is on the websites you copied from (including art work, pictures etc). Theres just so much more you can do with that script and I've seen some really good forums constructed using it, its supposed to be really easy to modify without knowlegde of scripts too. Theres hundreds of smileys, so much that you get a random selection with each post you reply to, and have the further option of opening the whole window to choose from all of them(not that smileys are important but they help get your message accross sometimes).
You have reputations (like the stars on this forum) which are defined not only on how much you post (although that counts too) but also how people rate you, you can leave people good reputations for good posts, and bad for the ones you dont agree with, you can also leave them a reason why you left it while stayin annoymous :wink:. It would bring so much interactivity to the forum, which is whats very lacking in this one. It would also attract a lot more people to join. Its so boring here these days! The poll option is probably the most exciting thing on here :roll:.

Only problem I think its like £120 to purchace :evil: but would be worth the invesment :wink:

Who owns this website? Is there anyone we can beg? Better yet is there anyone who already has a site using Vbulletin that can share their licence with us :?: ....Anyone??

Either way something must be done because this forum is really dull and ancient!

But is this an add-on or an entirely new program? If the latter then it would be a nightmare to export and import all the existing data.

Yeah it is a entirely new program but apparently it has "impex" or something and its supposed to be really easy to convert it to Vbulletin...
