As far as vBulletin, I think while it offers many nice features, it is incredibly bloated, both backend and frontend code (and theming it would require more work than necessary). Integration would also be a nightmare, with two different databases, separate user tables, and thats not including any of the more advanced stuff. This forum is entirely custom, and therefore easily modified and controlled. Its fast, and serves all the basic functions of a forum. If you have any specific features in mind please do tell me and if they seem to be truly helpful, we will implement them.

decepti0n Posts: 24 GumPoints: 198	I love the colours how they are :P @proph3t, when I search for anything in News, the link returned is a game link (http://www.gamegum.com/search/?search=openid&in=news) link: (http://www.gamegum.com/game/90/host-move%2C-status-update%2 C-new-features/) Also, down the bottom, under navigate, Toplists' url is http://http//www.gamegum.com/list/toplists/ Otherwise its all good

Jeremy_Yak Posts: 22 GumPoints: 209	Yes, I like this forum and the layout is great. Nice to see AJAX put to use somewhere Sorry for my asking, but are these custom made forums? Or is it a piece of software becuase I really like them.

proph3t Posts: 230 GumPoints: 1,825	In Opera, FCKEditor does not show up, so there is no button for smilies unfortunately. I've been spending the last few days researching alternatives, and I think we will be switching to markdown exclusively with the forums and comments. For smilies, I will probably create something that will substitute :-) and others for the icons.
