business forum online small

I’m going to bite the bullet and upgrate Business Forum to vBulletin 3.0 before the release candidate. It’s been too long, and I’m sick of waiting. I closed down Business Forum on the old host, and I’m going to upgrade it and recreate it over again. I’ve had too much down time with my old host, nearly lost the entire database once. The past few days we’ve had hours and hours of down time. I’m just going to host it myself and not bother with having a sponsor for now.

It hasn’t been as easy to design in vBulletin 3.0 as it has in vBulletin 2.x. I expect that to even out after the release candidate. Jelsoft makes a great product, and they provide great support, I’m always singing their praises, but damn they’re slow. They’ve asked the community of users to refrain from developing addons to vBulletin 3.0 until the final release candidiate is out. It seems like years that the final release has been right around the corner.

For the sake of Business Forum, though, it’s time to make the move. I probably would have waited longer were it not for the unreliability of the host. Upgrading will do wonders for the SEO, though, we’ll just have to deal with an ugly looking site for a few months.
