The good news is, we've not only been unsuspended, but our software version and security protocols have been thoroughly updated.If you are emotionally invested in 'believing' something is true you have lost the ability to tell if it is true.

No information of our private information being breached, although not likely.“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”

Chris and the Rochen Team,
I think we're all deeply, deeply grateful. Guys, we've become a global community and that's only by virtue of your sponsorship and hard work on all of our behalf. I badly missed my friends here that I've come to know over nearly nine years of membership while the board was down and wondered if I'd ever communicate with them on the WAB again. I'm sure others felt similarly so you can't imagine just how truly happy so many of us are now that WAB is back.
Thank you so much. I'm very appreciative."This aggression will not stand, man!" Jeff Lebowski

Thanks Rochen and team.
I just realised what this place means for me every time I tried to access WAB and the browser said "This account is suspended". Every time this happened I felt a deep sense of loss and just as Steve said it, I wondered whether I would be able to talk to you Gentlemen again in this life.
Great work and thanks once again. Cheers!!!sigpicAnd on the sixth day, God created the Field Artillery...

The impression i get from a quick google is that Vbulletin is total crap since around version 4.
Maybe its time to consider migration to something like Xenforo or myBB.For Gallifrey! For Victory! For the end of time itself!!

Definitely going to throw that into the mix of future plans for WAB.“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities.

They also have a merge program to migrate from other software onto them.For Gallifrey! For Victory! For the end of time itself!!

A side by side comparison of the ones Bolo mentioned and vB...most surprising are the user ratings. There are other differences that are above my pay grade to comment on. Also, the review may be out of date.
