Is anyone selling a Invision Power Board Perpetual License? I want to get rid of SMF and go to IPB.

What's wrong with SMF? I've said quite a few times that I've been very happy with it. Much cleaner and more customizeable than phpbb, and with a simpler interface.

So basically, you're saying that from a coding aspect it is a fiasco.

So, why don't you stop being lazy and use punBB?

Better yet, create your very own forum software, I think that'll be the coolest (esp. if you share

).

Because for the past four years, I've added so many custom changes and features, it isn't worth the effort to move over to a new system and have to redo the ones I like. I keep up with the security fixes (not surprisingly, half of them don't even effect this old version).

As for new forums software? I'm working on tons of other projects, so hand writing my own would be a complete waste of time. These forums don't get that much traffic, so averaging close to a second on every page load isn't that big of a deal until some spider-happy bot comes by and tries to cache hundreds of pages a second.

If I would change, it would be because I wanted something very powerful. I've gotten so used to my method of admining these forums that to go to one just for an admin panel wouldn't be worth the effort. But the forums that Team Barry is creating right now, I'd love to play with once finished. Those would be a hand designed forum with tons of features, very advanced admin panels, a searching script that doesn't use more space than the whole of the posts table, fast, configurable, etc. In otherwords, a forums designed by someone who has to admin a very large forum.

That's written in Perl? O_O

Yay. I remember hacking up ikonboardv2 pretty badly because v3 sucked too much to bother switching.

Pirated copys get hacked by the people who nullified the licsence. I would highly reccomend not getting a pirated copy of any forum software.
