yeap, right now, it’s the 7th hour the site is down for upgrade…
that’s not good to see that the original place is taking more than 7 hours to update the default site structure…

does it seem a skunk ?
:grin_Tongue:
so they do everything so vB stink… 😉

Maybe the limited number of alpha testers do not discover bugs quick enough.
vb 4 is currently in alpha 6. Seems indeed very early ‘beta’.
I hope Ray is not aiming for his own foot again.
yeap, that is what was announced…
this is obvious they did not have any test made before the move… and they can not say their site is way too big to test… i’ve tested major upgrades on way bigger boards lately… 75 to 100 millions posts and 5000 users online… vB.com merely do 10% of that…
Christian Forums – Where Christian Community Meets Faith took me 45 minutes to upgrade from 3.0 to 3.7 … on three cascading servers… so they can not say i did not alert them on vb.com… rofl
personally i would simply judge the professionalism of the job done, not the alpha stage of it… remember it is based on vBulletin, not an alien script in klingon… they’ve been working on it for more than a year.
Not boring. laughable, hilarious most definitely. :grin_Smile: I seldom have the chance to gloat but over the past month with a lost site I have had a good month for gloating. :grin_Smile:
That makes my heart all warm and fuzzy from within.
and they were questioning my professionalism.. 😉
Actually, your McDonald analogies where very professional.
If they ever happen to question your professionalism just show them this (if it happens to be wayne luke (who now has placed me on ignore on every forum I registered at). LOL
so Wayne posted this to you?… gosh, what did you do to him? lol
as we talked about it Allan and me… you see the skunk image, on the blank page… and the html code comment… related to the SkunkWorks, the guys who build the fastest and best airplanes on the world, from Lockheed…
they now refer themselves to the gods or aircrafts. what pretentious.. and pathetic, when you see the result.
Notice the skunk image was removed from the maintenance screen?
but not the quote in the comments.. rofl
Yup he pmed me that. Reason here
so if Ray Morgan think you’re a shit of troll and a sucker mom it is because Wayne did say him about you… rofl
looks like we’re ready for a porn show, he think the same about me… lol
so, how was your day Shelley?
on my side i’ve been two weeks trying to build a great theme for the new site i’m creating… a synchronised-swimming club, with 6 to 18 years old athletes, non-profit, local, small club… we have 3 olympics medals in the club, but we need to make a stand among all the very simple and ugly amateurist websites, and we have a load of content to put in… the front is for informing the parents, groups etc, and the forum is for the members and ancient athletes…
so i have a load of work, no talent and no cash to pay for a real designer…
i’m trying to build a style… really trying … rofl
those are my favs:
YOOtheme Demo Server – Mellow
Refraction June 09
my first pitch: forum demo
andfor the curious, the hovering effect is javascript based on CSS tags… no js code in the html… that’s what i want to do on the style we will build on default on our engine… people can then customize as they wish, instead of being forced to use the crap of vb_menu javatrash…
… the page is a pitch also, not a result… i put everything that works
🙂
looks like Ray Morgan does not know how to handle PR at all… shit, they go to admin forums to post a description of what’s going on instead of starting a basic blog on their own site for up-to-date information…
don’t know how IB built this network on big sites… oh, yeah, i remember, they were rich and they bough these sites… they know nothing about management.
So vbulletin.com is back.. And vbulletin 4 is vbulletin 3 with a new style… All the templates look the same.
actually the goal was not to transform the functions but to put a CSS based style and update all existing bugs…
what Ray said about the complexity of the update compared to their specific features unique to vB.com is pathetic… they always were able to update vb.com to the latest version without even a closing of the site
Shouldn’t the little releases have fixed all the bugs?
And Ray’s excuse about vbulletin running on there site if that is true why would the full site not go down?
actually, they made some moves to the site that are not related to what we see… the forum and functions we see are all the same, only some technical details on the look are different.
guys who know vBulletin by heart can detect all these flaws that they added on the run too.. lol
lol Oh well the update definitely took to long to expect a great release.
that stupid url rewrite is not a feature but a bloat fix…
showthread.php?threadid-thread_title
how pathetic… ?tid=threadid is still there… they just added a hook to parse also the new urls… i hope they did not pay anyone to do that pointless thing, it’s Zoint’s technique.
Oh, Alfa1, can you confirm that it is the same technique used in NU_SEO??
The trouble with the vbulletin community as a whole is that they are too easily pleased which will secure vbulletins place in the software forum business.
I have 1 site remaining and I see no reason to upgrade from 3.8.
sadly we loose all these sites… grabbing all these vB support sites would make us an easy startup when we release our product… 🙂

Thats not a bad thing it will make our solution look 10 times better.
you have a point Drew… we will need a real comparaison chart where we show the bad things of our competitors, instead of just the good points of our engine.
i’m not politically correct… instead of fighting in the back, we will show these guys publicly that we’re a group of heavy fighters.
Yeah we need a page like vbulletin’s to compare vbulletin to vbcms, just with Our engine compared to vbulletin’s features, and maybe IPB?
