We (
www.ls1tech.com) just switched from the latest version of .Classic to the newest version of .Threads after a number of phone calls and IM's with Infopop folks.
I am personally disappointed.
We had no idea that .Threads would be so different from .Classic. My partner has had to hack the crap out of .Threads and I feel bad, he must have like 40 hours into it since Friday.
Nobody from Infopop told us that it would be as raw as it is.
The thing I really don't like about it is that it's lost many of the old toggle on/off aspects that made .Classic such a great 'ware. We only have 12,000 members but we had 42 million hits last month, 1.5 million hits per day, and like 80,000 unique IP visits. We were advised to move because we had outgrown .Classic.
Right now we are just in scramble mode trying to declutter .Threads for our users and bring back in the missing features.
Right now I can't see us doing an upgrade if Infopop has one come out for the simple reason that it would wipe out a billion NECESSARY hacks.
I just don't like the fact that .Threads has very little in common with .Classic. The example given to us was
www.dieselstop.com and now it's clear that to get to that stage it takes a ton of work.
We are one of the few car boards that has not gone VBB recently and frankly it's blown up in our faces, man we are still not done!!!!
Frustrated in Chicago and Houston...
