Bounty for AROS-EXEC Purchase of vBulletin

[dammy]

As you may have all noticed, AE is down yet again.  I am collecting monies for 4play to purchase vBulletin so we can escape the Xoops nightmare.  I will start out with $10 and we need something like $180.  damocles@thenostromo.com and tag your PayPal with AE donation

Dammy,

I do wish you the best of luck with that.  vBulletin and it's surrounding packages really is the "iPhone of CMS's".  With Amiga.org, I decided to go ahead and bite the bullet, hoping that people would tolerate the massive changes.

So far, everyone has been able to adapt far better than I could have ever expected but even with all the help (which I am eternally grateful for) it'll take a while to recoup the initial investment.  

For me, it was the initial $180, plus my decision that I needed the project management tools (the bug tracker, $60, which I take full bite on that cost because it was my need, and my decision).  

Also on the consideration list, if I can't find something better to do the links engine and the news engine is vBAdvanced Dynamics (vbadvanced.com) which, for a multi-instance license is $79 and the vBSEO package to help us with the search engine friendly stuff.  That however is a nasty $179, so it'd have to be able to help out a hell of a lot for that much money.

Despite what people might think, costs a lot to run a web site eh?  Guess no one ever said hobbies are cheap..

Thanks for the input Wayne.  I think 4play is getting mighty tired of rooting out the injected code.  I don't think AE will be up before next week because of 4play's limited time this week.

4play has decided to upgrade xoops instead of purchasing vbulletin.  All donations are being refunded.  Thanks for the support and input!
