It might be a "forced upgrade" from vBulletin. In other words, they might have let it be known that the older version PC was using will no longer be supported after a certain date, a little like Microsoft did with XP.

Well Barney,

My reaction was the same at first over at the SteveHoffman.tv place. I hated it at first, but the like functions and imbedded youtube videos are cool. Plus if you quote the whole quote and picture of the original post is not replicated, which was very annoying on the old AK if you ask me.

Actually Xenforo was developed by people who worked for vBulletin but were angered over a management decision and thus left that organization so I do not think Xenforo has any connection to vBulletin. Xenforo was also sued by vBulletin but it looks like they survived.

Aha! I hadn't noticed the change! How many years ago did that happen?

It is not that I am smart I just went to the Wikipedia entries for both companies. There is much more about the conflict on the entry for Xenforo than vBulletin.

Looks like one of the early lead developers of vBulletin decided to jump ship when his plans for an upgrade on vBulletin were squashed by the new owners of vBulletin called Internet Brands in 2009. It is complicated lol.

Let me put it this way.

We had no choice but to get away from VBulletin. The site could NOT continue to stay the same without crashing and burning...

We could have kept AK down for weeks while performing all of the fixes, but choose to go live with it so you all would have a place to go sooner. We can always turn it back off.

Sorry you feel the way you do Chris. No one likes change but sometimes it leaves us no choice.

Works for me. Will the Back Alley Pub be coming back, Dave? Some people are asking.

With computers it's a case you have to change a lot and there really is no choice in the matter.

Don't trip on the grumpy old men Dave we'll get used to it, I'm really starting to like it.

I'm not, just trying to help folks and some just don't want to listen and it gets frustrating.
