vpsBoard calls it quits

Don't get the logic to be honest, but fair enough.
Holding out for vpsboard.party... only $7 for a decade!
@MannDude could sell the domain (and/or the IPB software licenses) without necessarily selling the database/content.
Holy crap, I just remembered that I once sold sugarvps.com to MannDude on WHT. That was a while ago.
The one thing Reddit lacks in my experience, ironically, is strong community. At least, for big subs - just so many people that it's like being in a stadium vs. a coffeehouse. It's feels a lot more like StackExchange than a traditional forum to me.
Even for smaller subs devoted to a specific game or something, there's just so many people that you'd never get the in-jokes, traditions, etc. that you get in smaller forums.
I suppose a small sub like MakingLoveInDiapersEastTampaVeganCookout might be different...reddit is really a galaxy unto its own.
They both have their place and maybe I'm just not on the right subreddits, but for me Reddit is a great set of search results, while forums are places to talk.
Awww.
Go on..
This is an example of using commercial framework vs custom-made software. This is a good lesson to learn.
Thanks for running VPSBoard all this time, Manndude. It was great while it lasted and I agree that the IPB upgrade made it almost unusable.
I like Vanilla in most ways and I'd hope the search function is fixable.
LOL what? No relevance.
For example, you're posting this on Vanilla, not some custom software...
The GreenValueHost drama back in the day always did keep this place on its toes.
Sorry to hear @MannDude. I hope that you enjoy/have fun with your new job, and I wish you all the best with your future endeavours!
I used to lurk there, and there were some good memories.
Thanks for all your time
Its a shame to see VPSB go. I was just the other day trying to login and see what was up (I too dropped off after the forum software change).
I'd like to see LET have some competition. Not necessarily because there i anything wrong here, but competition breeds improvements.
Best of luck @MannDude in the future, whatever happens.
It was a nice forum indeed.
I was high when i posted that msg.
@MannDude How do you intend to archive it? I suggest converting it into a static site using httrack. That way you won't have to maintain any CMS.
It was always dead so
You have no idea what you're talking about.
^let the drama commence
This site has few visitors.
Nice necro, get banned.
Thanks!!
@doghouch
Really? You had to necro a year-old thread just to spam your shitty signature?
