Administrators Cloaked Posted May 18, 2020 Administrators Posted May 18, 2020 I was going to convert this site to Invision Community - Forum software, CMS, eCommerce & more - Invision Community. There was a problem with the converter. It wouldn't convert the attachments. I put in a ticket with IPB support. After back and forth I was told they don't support Windows Servers. I have been running Windows Servers for 17 years. I switched from Redhat Linux to Windows Server 2003. I never had a problem. Until today. IPB said they don't support it. Want to know the funny part of this? I used to run IPB on those Windows Servers and was successfully able to convert many of my sites as well as clients sites using the IPB official converters. Now all of a sudden they don't support Windows. So IPB you lost my business. This site was going to be the first I converted. I am going back to my clients who wanted to switch and advise them to stay with xenForo. As much as that pains me I can't recommend IPB to anyone. 1 Quote Forum² - For Forum Enthusiasts SEO Help - Search Engine Optimization Forum

You can always switch to phpBB and hire Gary to run it, mod it, theme it, rage wipe it weekly, code an awesome chat room (or steal one), create more rooms then users, then delete the users, etc. He works for cheap, a pack of fags and 4 zingers per week.

Administrators Cloaked Posted May 18, 2020 Author Administrators Posted May 18, 2020 I am not going to jump through hoops to convert the site. The importer should work no matter what platform you use. It used to work. Even xenForo supports Windows as does every other forum software. IPB is like vbulletin. They want you to buy their hosting/cloud package. Fuck IPB. 1 Quote Forum² - For Forum Enthusiasts SEO Help - Search Engine Optimization Forum

Sandyman Posted May 18, 2020 Posted May 18, 2020 Oh Boy, Gary changed his name again....rage cycle will commence in 3....2.....1. Like I said, Gary changed his name and commenced a rage wipe. It took a few more days then it typically does, but nonetheless, rage cycle completed. Quote Donald Trump is living RENT FREE in Tracy Perry/One-Up's head
