I am trying to convince a community (some already think vBulletin is better) of 64K in post and only 189 users to move away from ProBoards and over to vbulletin. The question is, what disadvantages/problems do I point out about ProBoards to covince the majority of active users to move to vbulletin?
Thanks all

Support, features. I don't think vBulletin is suitable for a forum with that few members. I mean it's not technically unsuitable, I just think it'd be overkill as so few members making so few posts means it's probably a niche community of close online friends anyway :)

Well it seems the "Staff" are used to Proboards and won't move and think Proboards staying put (so it won't vanish) or start charging. I was wanting to work with the small forum which is extremely nitch, but I might have to continue my forum and get aggressive about advertising it and make it #1. We should work to expand the current forum. I am willing to front all costs but still the answer is no.
