Reverting back to vBulletin 3.8.5

45 minutes ago

This upgrade has been a technical disaster.

We've had so many issues that we were not even able to post using the admin account until now. There is a config file that allows to set certain users as admin and give privileges that we had to modify just to carry out the upgrade and then we were not even allowed to post.

This past week, as was mentioned when we first re-launched the upgraded boards, our intention was to update the software and customize it, etc. However the platform simply is not as user friendly as the previous.

So many of you voiced your complaints about mobile, upgrading vBulletin, etc. and we did. Once we did everyone (and rightfully so) thought the upgrade was terrible but we were planning on updating it and getting it to a point where it was very functional and customized.

Premium subscribers threaten to cancel because of the free boards (showing that content isn't what is even important to them) and like we have said all along there are only a handful of the people on the free boards that complain that even are subscribers. Most of you fail to realize that the free boards are not what drive our business and that the fact that many of the most vocal complainers don't subscribe here (and many subscribe elsewhere) further indicates to us that the free boards are not a priority.

Regardless of all that, we were trying to make people happy and upgrade the server and then the software. The software was a miserable upgrade and it is technically complicated. It's not like hiring a programmer or web developer. vBulletin is specialized and you need to find a very unique individual that is an expert with vBulletin specific. vBulletin probably has the worst customer support (or lack thereof) and that compounded the issue.

We are hoping at some point today the site will be reverted back to May 25 at 8:45PM MST. So it will look and feel and be all that it was before the upgrade. Maybe we can all pretend that the past week never happened and you all can have what you have come to love and enjoy... the free boards - back to where they were.

We will have an update soon.

Back when I was in the army, this is what we referred to as the shooting friendly. I remember this one time when we had a bunch of Belgian guys shooting at us and throwing all kinds of grenades. We're all hiding in a ditch wiping mud out of our eyes. Next thing you know they start coaxing us out. These guys had on aprons, baking up souffles and serving us cognac, singing all of our favorite Billy Joel songs, their wives giving us lap dances. And then they start shooting me in the ass. "Dance through it, clown." Jeez, that smarted. I'll never forget it.

I'm guessing MAO distanced himself just enough by naming Matt and Tracy as officers that he could say he has no involvement in the site.

I would agree. But the ease with which one can find that out makes me think the AD already knows and doesn't care and that statement was simply for public consumption. But that's just a guess on my part.

Or they are too busy with other things that this may have slipped through the cracks.

Maybe the information on this board over the past 24 hours (from LH, Chi, CG97 etc) should somehow make it to the AD's desk.

LOL....NY is more talented than me. I'm incredibly quick w my hand and multiple windows/tabs so it was no biggie for me, but it was the long way. Right click on the 'quote' of each reply I wanted to quote and 'open in new tab' then I went to the last reply, hit the 'quote' button, then went to each of the other new tabs, highlighted the quote, command C, then went back to the main tab, command V.

True.

I'd just hold back a bit on the direct public promotion until we have a better infrastructure in place to handle heavy traffic, spam, trolls, unwanteds, etc. I also just don't really want to give Jim any satisfaction in this like breaking the unwritten rule of not promoting one site on another site at hosting site's expense.

Just me not wanting Jim to gain comfort thinking he's been wronged.

He treated us like loiterers. Squatters, even. This devastation to his business happened organically and of his own fault. No need to publicly rub his nose in it, lord it over him, or even give his free forum one extra post. Let him sit, creating fake account after fake account, and see what we hath wrought. We ran that place. He just owned it.

Just my thoughts. But I'll not stop anyone.

As much as people would like, i would hold off on ANY promotion of this website until there is some proper infrastructure in place to educate those who come across the site, as well as supporting the load that it could possibly get should it get popular.

Everything i posted about issues at TOS with their update would be even worse here. According to posts I have seen, this forums was deployed using a management console with a hosting company. Shared hosting. That is a recipe for disaster at load. Lets see what Admin here wants to do long term and see if he heeds the warnings of many of us here.

If you approach this like a marathon instead of a sprint, things will go a lot better for us all.

Agreed. And since I quoted 3dmk in the "Board Announcements" board, maybe we should migrate this whole discussion to a dedicated thread where 3dmk can clearly advise us all?

I think the bottom line here is that we want our 'FRIENDS' to know where we are...had Merk not tweeted me I would have never known (and there's plenty of you on here who I'm twitter friends with

) in any case, I certainly don't think we want to take business away from TOS...they do something different than what we want to do and like MAO said, they don't give a shit about those on the free boards anyway so they shouldn't care.

In fact, they should THANK us for taking the heavy load off of him so he can focus on his money making.

That's right...THEY SHOULD THANK US.

admin or someone over there deleted all my posts just now linking to this new site.

admin on TOS just deleted CST's thread calling them out for what they said and then they deleted the rest of my posts.

And you are surprised by this? Obviously the admin cares.

Ya know...I thought I was loved...that I was missed...that I was an integral part of this family...and then I go to the 'missing posters' thread and I am not mentioned anywhere.

Liars...all of you.

I'm outta here, clearly I'm not appreciated. Let's see if you miss me when RTs are needed.

So I had a suspicion, and 3dmk verified it, that if this gets too big too fast that we could start encountering errors, maybe crashes.

This site is temporary. Once we know what we have, once it's in place with a supported infrastructure that can handle traffic, control spam, and manage trolls, then we can reach out.

But right now there three mods, admin, UAdevil, myself, and the first two are the same dude, and I can't do anything beyond basic moderating.

This has been incredible. We can't compromise it in the name of progress that can't be handled yet.

Nice try. Anyone who searches "mytwocents" won't be falling across your doorstep and offering naked car washes. I'm not sure what I meant by "naked car washes." It just came out.
