Salamo 3alaikom,

I think that when it comes to Money no one is really willing to contribute. I am really sorry to say it but this is a fact. Hope this fact changes some day.

Salam.

it's funny that we use a none open-source product on an open source site...
phpBB still owns, i've always hated vBulletin since v1 :p
also it would be nice if we host a wiki..
peace

I sort of agree that paying money to upgrade the forum is a joke when a free and opensource alternative exists. Also a vbulletin_to_phpBB tool also exists that its author claims that the last version doesn't have any issues.

I think if an upgrade will ever be decided, it is better on an opensource alternative.

May be if we could lend the guys our hardware for a week or less they could mirror and test the migration to phpBB before applying it to the working machine.

:D
then why we don't use phpBB

No, no one will answer that. It was debated several months ago. Search the forum, try "phpBB" as a keyword.

I used to think that people should upgrade their software when they feel that the current versions are not satisfactory. Unfortunately, I was wrong. You should update your packages to fix bugs (most important, security related ones) and to check the enhanced feature, rewritten ones. About the forum, I like phpbb, after looking into lots of other forums. Invision is also a good one, but phpbb has alot of support.
