Switching Forum Software

[excellence]

I would 100% be willing to donate a fair amount if it would be put towards a fund for migrating away from phpBB and onto something more functional (such as vBulletin). Perhaps this would mean that the forum would no longer be integrated into the site, but those are the sorts of things that would have to be considered.

Hey, I love this community, and the service this forum provides free of charge. If you even remotely like this idea, I am sure you could get enough people on board to donate. I'd be first in line.

A perk system where donators' names are a certain color, or they're allowed custom statuses under their names are very easy to implement in vBulletin. There's just a ton of stuff that could be improved. People tend to want to be recognized when they donate money. vBulletin would make that a cinch and in my opinion would encourage more people to donate. I'm not knocking this joint, but it's just an idea.

New forums have been mentioned/suggested no less then 9000 times, owner is aware of such suggestions.

A perk system

no.

quick note:
only reason why I locked this topic is because obviously forums need updating and my hands are tied on it so more complaining wont help at all.
