The long story about automotive forums

[TooMany2cvs]

vBulletin was purchased by InternetBrands a while ago, another mega forum company like VerticalScope. It's all a big conspiracy!

Wulf,

You aware of XenForo? The original devs behind vBulletin got hacked off at InternetBrands, left, started up on their own, and are being sued-to-the-moon-and-back by InternetBrands...

I always liked the vBulletin software because it seemed to have the most features for a reasonable price. And support is usually quick and good. But I didn't know the story about IB buying them out at the time when I made the purchase. XenForo and IPBoard were and are still pretty small but have very cool features.

for a reasonable price

Not compared to phpBB and other open source stuff...

Disappointing SC got bought out...I've slowly dedicated more time to TSL until it was sold as well.

Good thing Wulf start this forum, then, eh?

Wulf, how do you feel about user contributions to the site? I know Paul and Simon were adamantly against it, but as the owner of this site would you accept donations?

You going to be at the Swedish Car Fest this year, Tuck? I'd love to see that 5 door again.

We talked about site funding and set up up a poll in this thread: http://saabworld.net/f26/saabworld-site-funding-982/

It can pretty much go any way the members want.

This site seems to be a real breath of fresh air!I look forward to a lot of new Saab friends,and a lot of friendly discussions about SAABS.

You have been banned for the following reason:
persistent trouble making was getting tedious
Date the ban will be lifted: Never


How is a thread asking to start fresh with new mods "trouble making"?

Hmm.. Are you talking about something going over at SC?

If so, I really think we should let bygones be bygones and move on.

Cincy/Hirsch was banned on SC. Changing of the Guard - SaabCentral Forums

I agree we should move on at some point and just don't visit SC anymore if you don't agree with this whole situation. Anything you contribute on that site will add to their bottom line. But that's anyone's choice.
