EDIT: The database is importing right now. Posts made from here on will most likely not be saved until we're on the VB system. Should be soon.

Well folks, I've started playing with vbulletin. I'm doing a test build on a different domain name and attempting to import the MallCrawlin database. As we've had database problems with phpBB this should prove be interesting. Once I do a successful test, I'll be locking the board while I import the data. When this happens, if all goes well, the next time you visit www.mallcrawlin.com/forum it should be vbulletin.

I'll attempt to make old links forward to the corresponding threads on the new board, but time will tell how that goes.

My immediate goal is simply to get us on the new software. Thereafter, as I find the time we’ll be turning on new features, installing the portal on the main site, and eventually be accepting memberships. Please bear with us during this migration, I guarantee I’ll make a couple of mistakes.

The long term goal of this is a more active forum with many more features, games, ability to upload pictures, better search features, etc. Eventually memberships will be offered and donations accepted as this place is turning into a rather large money pit. The only reason I haven’t shut down this web server and saved hundreds a month as of yet is because Mallcrawlin is on it. My business web sites are much less demanding and could be hosted from my office, costing me nothing. Yes, I’m begging for donations when we start accepting them ;)

Hopefully we won't be down for very long. Now the only issue is Matt needs my vBulletin customer # . . . . and I'm at work . . . . and the customer # is on my laptop . . . . at home . . . .
