Okay, so this forum isnt the best software on the market, but it has its purpose, and it brought all of us together so far. However, a V-Bulletin forum program is much more advanced, easier picture loading right from your hard drive, I can back up the database with that software etc etc. Basicaly, it has a lot more to offer for more growth for all of us on this forum.

Soooo, if all goes well, within a few days hopefully, I will put up a redirect link to a newer forum, a permanent one as it is the best forum software you can get. I will eventually have it linked to my parts site and it will be better for me to control everything and all that other shit I need to try and do. It means bigger and better forums, and more people to help make this place EXPLODE to a top ATV site. It will also have some sort of CONTEST software I can learn how to use to start having some contests and prize givaways.

So please keep spreading the word, but be prepared to have to re-register with the new V=Bulletin forum once its up and operational. The only way to get all the posts copied to the new forum that I can think of is for me or you guys to re-post them all, now I dont mind spending a day doing it but I would need your passwords to post it all on your behalf so you wouldnt have to. Once finished, you could all reset your passwords so I wouldnt know what they are.

Let me know what YOU guys and gals think about that idea for backing up what we have already, if anyone is not comfortable with it, thats okay too.

I for one wouldn't have any problem loaning you my password for a while. If we can't trust you who can we trust. After all, if it weren't for you we wouldn't have this shiny new forum to play with now would we?

I hope so, I dont want to be too much of a bug with my buddy as he also works full time and he runs a site that I mod on with almost 11,000 members, but not to long ago before a site crash, we were up to around 100,000 members and are the most popular bodybulding site on the net since its been around pretty much since the www started back in around 1990 or something like that.

Also, the current guy has to get me a few tidbits of info for the my buddy but he is away on holidays in cottage country right now.

So hopefully within a few weeks at the longest, and I should be able to backup everything here with a few tricks that these smarter internet guys know how to use and we can hopefully just move it all to the new server and software and bingo bango, away we shall go LOL.
