I just found out that I won’t be upgrading the forums anymore. They’re not offering the free trial, which is what I’ve been using as my forums script for the past few years.

Should I switch back to phpBB? (I’m not sure what quirks might come up though.) Or should I scrap the forums? How about start fresh with the smaller and faster PunBB? (Alex King uses PunBB, that’s where I first saw it.)

The forums have died down fairly significantly, except for the regulars that I love like family. Basically, I’m not sure what to do anymore.

Anyways, comments are appreciated. Thanks!

I say keep the forums. Though they have died down doesn’t mean that people aren’t getting the help that they need while searching for answers via search engines or the forums themselves. besides, the forums are what make your site….well, yours.

IMO you should keep em. Or perhaps setup a donations button via paypal to aid in the purchase of the new upgrade? or a donations button with the classification for upkeep/maintanence? just an idea.

I agree with Nate. The forums work fine. As the old saying goes, if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.

When phpBB 2.2 comes out, you may want to consider switching over, but only do so if you can get an upgrade script. But this won’t be for a long time (Believe me, I want it sooner than you may think).
