im not trying to start a forum war so lets not get this topic closed like so many others...k?
ive moved mostly to vB but i have a ubb coming down the line. i find most people that run ubb do not get why people move over because they have never worked on one on the backend. i used to be the same. but here where my reasons
1. after losing s:c to hosting complecations 6 times i had to move to something less stressful on the server, but i will add that i had 106 hacks running so my ubb caused alot more stress on the host then most would, also mine way 6.05 witch did not have the .php files, however i did run the cgi buffer when it came out.
2. the mySQL backend, something that ive been beging for here has not come out, and infopop has not released a verson of ubb.classic with it..i dont want to move to ubb.t as its not ubb. and i want a forum on MY host so ubb.x is out of the question for me.
3. php is a earyer code for me so i can code for php based forums better then perl based forums
4. the vB hacking community has been spitting out alot of new hacks and ideas.
5. vB is cheaper then ubb.classic both on price and renew fee's. so i can put more money towards other things
6. vB has alot more fetures that makes life on the admin easyer. templates in the cp, style uploads and downloads. and a ubb skin for anyone thats moving over
all that said, i would like to add that infopop and ubbdev are picking up the ball here lately, myStyle and many other hacks have really bridged the gap. i would like to say thanks to all the hackers and infopop themselfs, tho i may not agree with some recent moves by infopop i will say as far as ubb.classic developent is going, its gotton alot better, and for thoese reasons ive decided to renew and run anthor ubb. i hope it will be as good as s:c was but only time will tell.
