Hello,
I am considering moving form UBB 6.2.1.2 to vBulletin (or some other database based forum) for scalability reasons. If someone can answere following questions that I have, it will make it easier for me to decide:[list=1][*]How much database/disk space will I need to transfer a UBB 6.2.1 forum that has about 170,000+ posts in 50 forums and 8 categories.[*] Is it possible to for visitors to post with some name without requiring them to register.[*] Can file upload feature be turned off.[*] My current site is all designed in ASP and Access/MSSQL database. I am thinking about moving forums to a different server/host and link it to main site using fourms.mydomain.com. Can I insert javascript/asp codes in template to load random banners and product promos from my main site.[/list=1]
I do not have any experience with MySQL/PHP4 and therefore I am also looking at options with ASP based forums. However, I do want to preserve my existing fourms in UBB 6.2 and am leaning towards vBulletin/UBBThread just for this reason.
