Title: New Forums

I need your opinion on this.

I have created a second forum for CTMaximas.

But I am not sure if I want to switch or not.

If we do switch, that means that everyones post counts will be at zero, we have to reset the total members, and you will have to copy your sig over. There may be some little things that I forgot but you get the idea. Basically it will be like you signed up for a new forum.

The whole reason why I am wanting to switch is basically because everyone else is using VBulletin and I think we should join them as well.

I have a personal server that I bought earlier in the year so I might as well put it to good use.

So far I just set up the basis of the forums. I am still working on the little things.

Input is needed.

New Forums?

And yes the address will be changed to forums.ctmaximas.org

It's not fitting my whole screen.

sunten1 - September 5, 2006 02:20 AM (GMT)
Is it too big or too small?

Suicidalspd99 - September 5, 2006 05:31 AM (GMT)
i like it but we are gonna lose all post. So idk Its like starting over agian. So I like the set up but idk.

hybridioN - September 5, 2006 01:54 PM (GMT)
FTW.

It looks alot more organized. It's nice and centered.

The top banner is FTL...time for a change with that.

Zach95SE - September 5, 2006 04:05 PM (GMT)
Are you sure you can't switch everything over? I thought NYCmaximas did it with LImaximas.

sunten1 - September 5, 2006 09:09 PM (GMT)
I am pretty sure.

They prolly switched everything over with ease becuase they were using VBulletin to begin with.

03on18s - September 5, 2006 10:58 PM (GMT)
i dunno, i don't really see the point...i think what we have works.

Zach95SE - September 6, 2006 03:23 AM (GMT)
Well there are really only a handful of people that post and I'm sure most would sign up again. You are better off doing it now then later too.

Suicidalspd99 - September 6, 2006 04:52 PM (GMT)
well boys. i did some advertising. Lets see how the new ctmaximas does. I posted on a few forums I know about the new site. I hope we can make a transition and do somthing with it. Considering CTnissans was a flop it seems.

Zach95SE - September 6, 2006 05:10 PM (GMT)
Yeah but how many people actually tried to make CT Nissans work? I'm sure if everyone were to try then it would work but it didn't happen.

sunten1 - September 6, 2006 05:14 PM (GMT)
CTNissans could be good, but personally I think its too much work, unless I just generalize it, like don't go into to much detail with each car, just have a General talk area or something....

Suicidalspd99 - September 6, 2006 05:44 PM (GMT)
Well I say lets focus on the new ctmaximas.org.

Zach95SE - September 6, 2006 09:39 PM (GMT)
You can just hot link it from the same landing page right? I'm sure most people would just sign up again.

sunten1 - September 6, 2006 11:19 PM (GMT)
Yeah I can do that

Zach95SE - September 6, 2006 11:53 PM (GMT)
I'd just do that then. Have it redirect to the new forums. While I am at work tomorrow I will throw up some stuff on the new forum like how to's and what not.

sunten1 - September 7, 2006 12:08 AM (GMT)
Ok, Ill see what I can do tonight

Suicidalspd99 - September 7, 2006 04:40 AM (GMT)
Hey I like what I have seen on the new site. I think we really need to change over there. I notice a couple people wondering about the sigs not working. Sunny. its up to you but I tryed to get people to go. Now I think it is time we switch it over. Let me know.

sunten1 - September 7, 2006 04:50 AM (GMT)
What do you think of the set up should I change it? or add anything?

I am switching it now...

Zach95SE - September 11, 2006 12:28 PM (GMT)
So what is going on with this Sunny/

sunten1 - September 11, 2006 02:13 PM (GMT)
We have to go back. I put in like 30-40 hours over the last couple days trying to figure this whole mess out and I couldn't do it.

Sorry everyone...

Zach95SE - September 11, 2006 06:45 PM (GMT)
What were you trying to do? Just direct link from ctmaximas.org? Or was VB just giving you trouble?

sunten1 - September 11, 2006 11:28 PM (GMT)
It was a problem I think with my host

Suicidalspd99 - September 16, 2006 05:34 PM (GMT)
So no more VB? After all I tryed to help. Fooi

Black Maxima - September 16, 2006 05:57 PM (GMT)
We are working on getting the correct version of VBulliten. The cost is $160 and we are looking to split it a couple ways.

sunten1 - September 16, 2006 06:07 PM (GMT)
Yeah.

Zach95SE - September 17, 2006 04:26 PM (GMT)
Are you accepting donations?

sunten1 - September 17, 2006 07:18 PM (GMT)
Yes

sunten1 - September 17, 2006 07:28 PM (GMT)
One more thing.

Once we get VB again I will be much quicker. Last time I had problems becuase the domain name wasn't setup correctly. Now my host sees the domain name and knows that it has to host it. Basically this time it WILL work. I know this because that was the reason why we had some downtime early last week. I was switching the servers around.

Zach95SE - September 17, 2006 08:03 PM (GMT)
How can one go about donating?

03on18s - September 17, 2006 09:50 PM (GMT)
we're really still trying this?

Suicidalspd99 - September 17, 2006 11:53 PM (GMT)
looks that way. Sunny?? Aaron?

Black Maxima - September 18, 2006 12:34 AM (GMT)
Yes, we are. Don't worry Evan when we finish it will be better than this. There has to be a way to transfer post...

sunten1 - September 18, 2006 12:47 AM (GMT)
From this site to the other, no there really isn't a way that I know.

03on18s - September 18, 2006 10:38 PM (GMT)
i wish someone could clue me in on whats so bad about this site cuz i don't see it.

sunten1 - September 18, 2006 10:49 PM (GMT)
There are a few things:
1. Everyone else is using the VB
2. This has annoying ads
3. The site isn't on my server so it's less reliable
4. The URL is shit
5. I wanted to do this for the longest time.
6. There is alot more support with VB (more modifications and such)

Zach95SE - September 25, 2006 01:59 AM (GMT)
So what is going on with this Sunny?

sunten1 - September 25, 2006 04:25 AM (GMT)
We are taking donations.
Paypal me @ sunnymistry52@hotmail.com

The total is $160.

sunten1 - September 25, 2006 04:35 AM (GMT)
So basically we go from here.

How much money do people want to dump in. And from there we can see how everything is going to work out

Suicidalspd99 - September 25, 2006 05:08 AM (GMT)
Sunny I will give you some money this weekend. I will give you a check. This way I know the money goes where needed. I know how college gets. LOL. Let me know who to right it to. Thank you
