    It's going to be VBulletin 4. Thanks to your willingness to cl1ck in the right places sometimes, we've been able to afford to buy the full publishing suite.

    The good news is that it's feature rich, future proof and will enable the forum to keep ahead of technology that's coming. It'll also allow a really nice front page to the forum with the latest news, threads, competitions etc all in one place. Blogging software is part of the package, as are closer links to Facebook, Twitter, etc etc. It's big!

    The bad news is that it's a total b**** to style and the current mods such as the arcade and casino etc. MUST be installed from new again.

    We've already run a test upgrade of this place sucessfully, but it might be some time until we can do it for real due to styling and plugin issues.

    Work in progress, but the future is coming.

    Undecided. Even if we remove the money system the figures will still be held in the database, but it depends if the new one can pick them up again.

    A fresh start might have to happen :eek:

    Change or stagnate Mr Bear. We've still had less versions of software than Watford FC have had managers since we've been going.

    I reckon he's the forums version of the Russos and has secured his orns against the rental of the server:biggrin:

    Would be full of blank pages then wouldn't it!

    Can we all start with say a 1000 orns this time as I seem to loose them rather quickly! Also from past experiences, you may want to have a look at vbookie to see if any long term bets will be lost and whether you can save them some how?
     
  23. hornmeister

    hornmeister Tired

    Fair points. I'd be tempted to cancel any long term bets though if they can't be retained.
     
  24. hornmeister

    hornmeister Tired

    Fair points. I'd be tempted to cancel any long term bets though especially if the whole orn system is devalued.

    Are you now just trying to boost your 'orns count!;)

    No point if they're all disappearing.

    How many o'rns (excluding yourself and Admin) worth on a 1:1 exchange to GDP are floating around ?

    So, essentially, what you're telling me, is that my quest to pass 20,000 orns, is all in vain, and I will soon only have 1,000? :rolleyes:

    And start you on zero.
