Possible forum move

I'm thinking about moving the forums to the IPB 2.3 software. Let's just make this simple:
Pro's
  • Possible daily back ups
  • HUGE amount of customization (Point system, reputation, adsense manager, blogs, much more)
  • Professional looking skins
  • Automatic donation/subscription system
  • Much more.
Con's
  • We would lose all the posts and members on this forum.
  • Will have to be hosted on our own server (If server goes down, so does the forums. (These forums will probably be used as a back up if it does go down)
Anyways, it's up to the members really. So just post yes or no.

Forum move please. More things that can be done once moved, so more stuff we can have with events and stuff.

no, i think we should stay on these forums because what if some of our members dont decide to go to the new forums and just quit!?

those new things are cool and all but i dont think we should risk anything just for them.

i have known many people to be lazy and instead of moving to a new forum or redownloading a client.. they just move on.

Well the domain would redirect everyone to the new forums anyways. It takes like 5 seconds to register.

I vote yes.
Much gain, hardly any loss. Besides, it'll be great to have the forum become more active (which I believe would, with those features).

I don't care for skins, signatures, avatars, or any of that stuff, so I guess it doesn't really bother me. I don't care for postcount either. Lols, so yeah.. Go ahead and do it. :P

I think if they like the server enough & people in it, they won`t be too lazy to move to new forums which takes just few secs.

And new forums is good, since we got this in backup if they go down. o.o

I vote yes, but you'd need to come up with a way to return the donator status to the donators.

Yes. Or actually, I don't care if the forum moves or not... As long as something like, when the server move comes, someone steals my name.. Otherwise I don't care.

IPB is the best forum software around, imo.

I don't see what the point is. We have everything we need here, all a move would do is inconvience members. Knowing how often the server goes down, I would hate for the forum to go down everytime as well. Let's just stay where we are. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

More enjoyable forums with a lot more features isn't a point?
