Forum Update

[thomas]

During the past few days we have updated our forum software, switching from DCForum to vBulletin. DCForum proved to be a very reliable platform; however, since more and more hosting companies are banning text-file based scripts from their servers due to the high server loads they could cause, we decided to go for a more server-friendly PHP board.

vBulletin is one of the most sophisticated and advanced software packages, very complex and rich in useful features, and offers - above all - a powerful MySQL backend.

Anyhow, with basic installation and customization completed, we shall add some more hacks and add-ons we deem to be useful to you, our esteemed visitors, during the next few days. If you have any questions about the forum, please post them right here or consult the FAQ section.
