Why the hell are we switching when proboards worked fine for 5 years, actually improved since we started using it? Because i'm getting super annoyed by this phpbbyg whatever the **** it is already. I can't even figure out how to change my god damned password. And no admin priveleges or anything. I don't think i even have the privelege to update my profile. WTF? Please tell me all this is for something other than making things look more pretty.

I understand that everything can't be moved directly from proboards to vbulletin, we need to use phpbb as a middle stage. I guess the part I don't get is why we couldn't have kept probards active instead of having everybody switch over to this one. Just because we had to migrate all the data to phpbb before moving it again to vbulletin doesn't mean we have to actually use phpbb, or at least that's what's going through my mind.
I'm also kind of concerned because despite the stuff that was posted about this move ahead of time, most of our members still have no idea what's going on and i'm concerned that the less computer saavy won't be able to make the switch. Our temp forum is really dead compared to the activity we normally have, i've hardly seen any users online yet. That's the main reason we've protested changing to a different board in the past. Somebody tried it once before and practically stole all of our data and created his own forum with all of our stuff even after I told the little prick to stand down.
