Chitchat Intend to convert this forum to Xenforo if database import works out

[Leongsam]

Vbulletin is a dinosaur. Not suited to the mobile world.

Will keep everyone posted.

https://xenforo.com/

Looks like this forum depends on IB to introduce state media articles to maintain volume ... sad.

Have no issues with that. With volume you can find a couple of good discussions. No volume, this forum won't exist.

Many vBulletin forums have closed shop over the last 7 years for the simple reason that the current generation does not crave the anonymity that we always wanted to preserve.

Twitter, Facebook, instagram etc have thrived because of this.

There was a point where I wanted to call it a day but it seems that there is still good traffic to this forum and there are diehards here who continue to use it.

In order to reward the support I'm putting in an effort to make it easier for the loyalists to use. Xenforo has drag and drop images etc and mobile is way better.

Let's see how it goes.

?? It's exactly the as what you have now in this forum because all I'm doing is importing the vbulletin database into the latest Xenforo Rev. No information is added or subtracted.

I have mentioned this before.

Xenforo follows the responsive layout which is favoured by Google search engine and Xenforo was created with the mobile age in mind.

Vbulletin, on the other hand, uses 2 separate layout depending on whether you are on mobile or desktop. If you seen websites that use m.website.com, bulletin use this approach for mobile view. If you talk to many web developers, creating 2 separate layouts for mobile and desktop has fallen out of fashion.

Excellent choice boss. I am looking forward to the new look.

Just one question, I am presuming that reputation points will be restarted?

The rep system cannot be imported as far as I can tell. Xenforo probably has their own terminology and methods.

The import is complete you guys and gals can test it out at http://zen.sammyboy.com/

When I'm ready to switch over that sub domain will be disabled and www.sammyboy.com will default to the xenforo version.

Hey, this looks nice.

Its funny how many thought that popular mediums and apps like FB, personal blogs etc would take over and it did appear so. Its interesting how there is still a need to have voice that is not watched over.

Now the challenge is to bring in newbies to take over and keep those running the country honest.

The climate of fear has diminished considerably. The newbies now go directly to the minister's facebook page and fuck him directly.

Boss,

just to note, the transfer of the data base correct up to Wednesday, posts made in the political section yesterday wasn't reflected in the new platform.
