OpenBB converter to vBulletin???

[TimHL]

Does anyone by any chance have a vbulletin converter that will convert openbb to vb? If not I can just take the one our programmer is working on also, will ya accept paypal if the funds already are in the account or no??

Yes, we do accept PayPal, although it will take a bit longer to process your payment since it's done manually. Email [email protected] and we will send you full information.

Actually it is instant if the money is in the paypal account already . Is there any extra charge.

No extra charge, and I meant it takes time for us to process the payment and create a license for you.

There is currently no OpenBB converter available.

[TimHL]

Can someone possibly write one?

[tubedogg]

We are currently not undertaking any more import scripts here, but you may be able to find someone to write one at vbulletin.org.

i suggest staying with OpenBB, one more than one independant test it has been shown to be fastest BB out there and beat vbb by a landslide under two different server conidtions. I have also been quite angry at the customer support for Vbulletin as of late, in other words there is none. Also the lack of professionalism is beyond bad considering you pay so much for it. OpenBB rc3 was just released, i hightly suggest upgrading to that if you havnt already done so.

I have created a VB > OpenBB, I never used it since I ended up renewing my license. HOwever, it works. All you need to do is just send it "backwards" this shouldnt be too hard...

I thought your one customer support request was handled very well and you appeared to be appreciative of the response in the thread.

i never posted it on this board. i recently recived an email from Jelsofts third party enforcement group that my Vbulletin at http://ubb.pgamers.com was not lisenced. on my lisence information i placed http://pgamers.net. i use the subdomain only to replace my aging UBB software both links point to the same one vbulletin board. the group sent me a 10 day notice so i immediately emailed [email protected] just as it says in the notice with my lisence information on hand. it has been 6 days, i have emailed chris twice along with two other staff members but to no avail. now i must move the forums simply because some people are just too lazy to read a simple email and notice that http://pgamers.net is the same as http://ubb.pgamers.com. i have also just recieved another notice from nukepirates.com this morning with more threats of removing my vbulletin.

Were those Emails from nukepirates.com and not from Jelsoft? And how does nukepirates.com know you are running a legal or illegal version of the forum software? Are they working for Jelsoft?

If you have ONE forum running on site.com/dir and just zillions of redirects to THAT dir .. you are still just running one forum. Therefor you are not running anything illegal (unless you did not pay for that one license).

I myself would only accept Jelosft.com E-mails about illegal versions, so I know I am replying to the 'right' people. And not just some site where I can not get any confirmation from that they are working together with Jelsoft to fight piracy.

I also have *.creations.nl point to the one dir where I have vBulletin installed, and in the members area, jelsoft can find that directory. It is one instance, one license, one forum. Just different URL's. (subs) I can not imagine that would be illegal.

yes the emails were from nukepirates.com i have no idea how they would know if i have a lisence or not unless they were working with Jelsoft. once i recieved the first email i suspected that this is nothing. i would give my information and that would be the end of the story. now they give me a time frame to have all of this sorted out, days are going by and no emails from Jelsoft. considering users pay almost $100 for one year of lisencing, the least they can do is answer your emails! Customer support is just a word here and nothing more.

At least with free software such as OpenBB you can do what you want with it and your not at the mercy of a company that you pay good money to only to have such insignificant problems with. OpenBB is also catching up quite fast considering they only have one person developing full time (Lindy/Ace). they have released rc3 just a few weeks ago and 1.0 final is coming shortly. All of the release candidates are also open source.
