So the latest version of Invasion Power Board

[GreatWhiteNope 0]

And we're only at version 1.3.

 

What gives?

[alfdogg 0]

We're kickin' it old school, or something.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Hey he's right, what gives.

[Eclipse 0]

Maybe it's a hassle to use.

 

 

But, what major features does the new Invasion board have?

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0]

It costs money to license, for one.

[alfdogg 0]

It has the ignore feature, which would be extremely useful on this board.

[IllustriousOne 0]

It's expensive to license, like ol' Love Slave mentioned.

 

Plus, this database is so huge, due to the amount of posts and members, that it would take literally half a day to convert.

 

Like has been mentioned before... we've considered upgrading, but I'm not gonna spend the 12 hours required to do it, and I'm certainly not going to do it if it's something that's got to be paid for first.

 

This board is fine. If it ain't broke, don't try and fix it, yeah?

[Hunter's Torn Quad 0]

If if it would take half a day to convert, then the board would be down for at least that long. Remember that, and remember how some people seemed to have a nervous breakdown when the board has been down during Raw. And that was for less than an hour.

[alfdogg 0]

Ill: if we just converted the members, and just started from scratch the rest of the way, would that cut considerable time off?

[IllustriousOne 0]

Yeah, probably.

[MrRant 0]

WTF would be the point in that?

[alfdogg 0]

Why not? There aren't really any threads that important that would be missed if we did someday decide to upgrade.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I wouldn't miss any of this shit. Slash and burn.

[Guest cosbywasmurdered]

There's some good things but most aren't COUGHWWEolderthreadsCOUGH.

 

Though there are some wrestling thread that have alot of cool information (the WCW thread in General wrestling for one) that would be a shame to lose. And there have been some other really good stuff here. Plus I doubt the SWF and OAOAST would want to lose all the stuff they have.

 

WDI has the latest version of the board and it's not THAT much of an improvement.

[Slayer 0]

Newer isn't always better, especially with software

But what about the post counts? Won't anybody think of the post counts?

[Guest Vitamin X]

^^^^

 

Agreed.

Wait, alfdogg posted in this thread?

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0]

I don't think you guys are getting the point that it costs $200 to license the newest version of Invision.

[KingPK 0]

Is there any way we can just get the "Ignore User" feature implemented? Like, as a singular upgrade? That would do wonders for this place, I think.

[Dr. Tyler; Captain America 0]

I'm sure there's plenty of board hacks out there for this version. The internet doesn't tend to react kindly to a company selling out and often end up hacking a previous version. You've just got to look for it.

[Black Lushus 0]

if it does take half the day, I'm going to have to actually do my job rather than fuck off on here...yikes!

[Slayer 0]

Get back to work, Lushus

What's the difference between that and just scrolling past their posts, though?

[Modern Man's Hustle 0]

Some people have hideous signatures of rat people that take up half the page, so no matter how much you want to skip past them, you're forced to be reminded of them?

[Nighthawk 0]

Turn sigs off, man.

[Modern Man's Hustle 0]

I really just don't like his sig.

[alfdogg 0]

Hey CWM, remember when we mass ignored KJ Brackish at WDI and then he left? Good times.

[Guest cosbywasmurdered]

He's still posting. We just all have him on ignore.
