Post new messageboard suggestions!?

hey everybody,

a few weeks ago..i sorta tried to update the messageboard to a faster board with better features but for some reason it sucked up all the resources on the server (some of you might remember) and i had to quickly switch back to this one.

since our community has grown alot and hopefully will continue to grow, i don't mind if we upgrade this messageboard. my biggest concern will be that all threads and members be saved cause i'm sure none of you want to start over and i don't want to lose any of the valuable information in the archives.

i tried the mysql version of YaBB but that didn't work well (that was the one that caused the site to crash). i'm leaning toward vbulletin (www.vbulletin.com) since i've seen sites that use it w/o any problems and it has alot of features.

if you have any suggestions for a different messageboard, please let me know.

thanks,

johnny  miley*

Yeah johnny - i installed the php/SQL version of this MB on my site and when i looked at the code ... holy crapola! I'm not worred since nobody uses my board hehe, it's just kinda there for show .. but it it got popular I would probably just bust up the code and remove some of these piggish features that have a zillion queries in them.

Well right now there are a few boards you can use.

Some of the best is
phpBB2
Invasion board (Made by the makers of Ikonboard)

A good paid one is vBulletin it is very good!

If you don't want to buy vBulletin then go with phpBB2

Hmm.. losing threads would not be so bad, they would bounce right back up... but the "rankings" would be a great loss to all.  Phb worked fine for me, but crashed after I had 20 people on it at one time.

I have heard of a few complaints about that happening with BB2 board happened to me but i had about 43 on there and it caused the server to crash.

(Thats why I still use vBulletin had nearly 400 people on at once.. ignoring page loading time.. thats a lot for one board)
