I currently have a heavy traffic website that was built from the ground up via PHP. Right now we only have the website alone with no forum. We tried doing the discussion forum along side of having our main website but we just couldnt transition people over, they go for one sole purpose and thats it. So recently we wanted to just rid of the main site and migrate everything over to a forum structure so that way users not only get their content but also have the opportunity to engage with other users.
We wanted to do this using VB5 but have been patiently waiting for a LOOOOONNNGGGG time. Well its come to a point where we have to make this switch asap. So I say all of that to say this. If you were me, would you make that move move with the current state of VB5? Should we make that move via VB4 or just completely ditch VB and go with a forum like Xf? I never knew about Xf until I started reading a few threads here. I never knew that Digital point was run off of Xf, I always thought it was a VB forum.
Basically the only thing that lacks to me about Xf is that the mods and add-ons are lacking. I really like/need that download manager plug that VB has. My site is structured around downloads so that is one thing i have to consider. What would you do?
I spoke with my site developer and he stated he could transfer all of our current content over to VB via database.
