Shall I move this forum to discourse?

[ginfreely]

Defrag yr mutherfarker cheebye FARKING troll.go give dog fark.

Troll calling others troll is you. Why so angry? Must be scared of police. Anyway any man with moustache is your father, son of a whore, your mother is the top spot in toilet. Go burn in hell.

 

[ginfreely]

Leongsam or any bros out there, I have been defamed as what the above message by virus stated. This is totally untrue and malicious. I am not the kind of person described. Can any of you give me a copy of the top spot in toilet for me to report to police?

For people out there who joined in and derived entertainment from this top spot of toilet smearing, I curse one day you will see the name of your mother, wife, daughter there, to experience being smeared as an indecent woman when she is not. Don't anyhow think and judge others as indecent, only your family is decent. Pui!

The loyal sponsors like froggy and and many others who have contributed $$$$$ to help keep this place going would have to be catered for in some way.

Don't worry. Just do it and will continue to support the new platform.

 

[Rogue Trader]

i will support change ONLY IF...................

1) members get paid for good quality posts (based on certain no. of thumb up for each post)

2) reputation points can be exchanged for cash via paypal, etc etc...........

You saw how rep points drove some forummers crazy... imagine if you bring in tangible motivation like real $$$ ... I promise you this place will implode within 6 months.

I see...

Anyway, the new forum might end up looking like this:
https://what.thedailywtf.com
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_WTF
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse_(software)#Notable_users

My two cents: Just do it. The veterans here will move over and adapt, as they did when we migrated here from Delphi. Lots of noise was made then, but in the end most stayed on and thought the move was for the better. (Some, like Robox, didn't come aboard because of privacy concerns.)

It can be customised to look however you want.

What is more important is the functionality.

This move should be far less traumatic than the move from Delphi as the whole database will move too.

With the previous move the vbulletin forum started as a blank page with only one member... Me!

Not bad, I like it.

Nice ... with lots of user-friendly features.

There are four ways to reply.

1. The
   
   button at the bottom of the topic. This replies to the overall topic.
2. The
   
   button on each individual post. This replies to that particular post / person.
3. Highlight text with your mouse or finger in a post. You should see a
   
   button appear above the highlighted text. Click that, then begin. (You can do this many times to multi-quote a bunch of posts.)
4. 
   in the right gutter. Use this when you want to go on a crazy tangent that may or may not relate to the topic at hand. No big, just create a new topic. They'll get automatically linked together.

Note that the reply panel will show you who you replying to, if anyone — their avatar will show up above your input area in the form of

(Link will be non functional by tomorrow so fiddle around if you wish before the account is cancelled.)

Tried it out and all is good. It looks like this is the way to go.

Are the categories like sub-forums here in vbulletin? Or are they tags which the TS has to assign/define?

Are tags going to feature a bigger role in Discourse? I think it is a under-utilised feature so far..

I honestly cannot answer because my experience with discourse is a big fat zero.

All I know is that vbulletin is not suitable for the mobile era.

Sorry but unlike the PAP, I cannot promise more good years. :p

It may be a huge flop but nothing ventured nothing gained.
