Guest ganon997 Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 ...about these boards. They are powered by Vbulletin. Every forum I have been on that was powered by VB had problems and had to be shut down. They eventually came back up, but with different, more stable boards. Look, I am warning you, people with over a thousand posts are not going to be happy when these forums go down. It has happened to every VB powered board I have been on...just a warning....

Spikey Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 [COLOR=darkblue]This board has gone down a couple of times. But I only know to that have gone down. But if they go down I guess we can start over. Thank you for the info, a little.[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every website has an expert programmer in its midst (Adam).

[/B][/QUOTE] [font=comic sans ms]Funny, the reverse is what I hear from those who use vBB. vBB is actually one of the most stable boards around. Or maybe you've been sent by Infopop. :D And I see a lot of people with over a thousand posts here. In fact, with a total post count of over 180,000, by what you say this board should've tanked over a long time ago, yet it still remains. And I've been to many vBB boards as well. Again, in fact a lot of servers are banning UBB for it being too reseouce intensive, and many have switched to vBB--thus belying your arguments.[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Ah, I believe I know what this is.. A friend of mine at another board has informed the Administraitors (Yes, I'm an administrator at the board), that vBulliten is going to do a sweep of illegal vBs, or boards that haven't been registered. Actually, the only way they CAN shut down a so-called 'illegal' board is to hack into a server, which is very much so illegal as well. So in short, don't get your britches in a bunch... Edit: Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh.........What changes James? C'mon.... I'll give you a dollar...:tasty: ok, TWO dollars...........and from me and my greedy self, that's a lot..:cross: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkM Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 this board is not going down any time soon. James tell me pweese:raspberry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukazi Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 These boards will not be going down anytime soon as long as we have James and Adam working on it. Also, if James told us, it wouldnt be a big surprise. And if you stop thinking about it, it will seem like it comes faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] Yes otaku has had its share of problems, but not as many as you would think. Adam keeps this place pretty stable, so don't worry too much ;) Plus about the posts, sure we'll get up-set at first, but I mean what does the number matter? Its just fun to post! It will just give us more oppertunities to post! :)! I don't see it happenening soon! Oooohhh something in May..can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Char! Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 theOtaku has gone down several times since I've been here, but it always comes back up, usually better than before too. James, don't tell us you're changin' versions again? I just reached "Junior Member" status! I can't wait, either way!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam is an expert programmer and it is he that keeps OB in great shape. It is because of him that the few problems OB has had have been quickly dealt with and we are running better than ever. Gawd.. I never really appreciated Adam for all he did until now.. maybe I should make him a card or something... James you little.. May? how many days away is that.. well lets see.. today is the 6th.. 30 days has September.. oh I can't do it.. math is too complicated for me.. well can you at least tell us the date of this amazing thing in May we're getting?[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We purchased this board from Virtual Bulletin. Therefore, even if vB is doing sweeps of illegal sites...there would be absolutely no reason to shut us down. As for the second part...I'm not going to tell you yet. You'll see when it happens. ;)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ganon997 Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 I was just worried, thats all. I am glad to hear these boards won't be down any time soon!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvet paws Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Heh, yea well rest your little mind at ease and enjoy your posting :) I only managed 564 posts or something max. during my whole time here (a year this month) but I still got bothered when they were all wiped...infact I've had 2 accounts here so I've got about 35 extra posts or something somewhere plus what I've gained now :) (not long until I finally get a personal av! used to take so long (1000 posts!!!!)). Something exciting James? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 I don't think so. OtakuBoards has been through alot, that's no lie, but each time we've all came back. Barely anyone here cares about posts. As you can see, I don't have many compared to some other. I come and go off the boards, but I come back because I enjoy them. I could care less about the post number, in fact if they got rid of the post count I think it would be cool. Then everyone would be equal. The only thing I want is 500 posts so i can get a custon avatar. Well, back to the topic, I don't think the boards are going to go down anytime soon.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 Something exiting? :smirk: I don't think they'll be going down any time soon, they've gone through a fair bit, though they've been set back up after.... I enjoy these boards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
