Wait. What?

I did indeed want to build my own discussion board system, but I never got further than writing a few classes. Of which I would then go back and re-write because I decided they were written incorrectly. The probability of swapping the OWF to my system is zero - and has been for years now.

It's been an incredibly long time since I discussed this with anyone though - but I floated the idea of switching to Xenforo a while back, even going so far as to import a test board. The issues preventing us from swapping right now are the lack of OWF themes for Xenforo and the absence of blogs.

As Wil touched on, my issues with vBulletin stem from the loss of actual talent and direction. I'm not going to pay for shit software.
