Ok so recently I've been looking in to upgrading the forum to the latest version of vBulletin. While doing some work I found that our leased license of vBulletin is going to expire on the club's 1 year anniversary (August 1st). Right now I either have the option of leasing the license for another year ($100) or just buying a license that will never expire ($180).

Unfortunetly what this means is the club vinyls are delayed yet again. Between car payments, insurance, gas, and everything else, I don't have any cash

I'm fairly certain I'll just purchase a license as it will be cheaper in the long run. There may be a few days of forum absence after August 1st. Basically it's just a matter of how long it takes me to get the $180. Hopefully there won't be any downtime, but it's certainly a possibility. So if the forum is down after August 1st for a few days, this is why.

All the information will be saved (threads, posts, users, etc) and installed on the newest version of vBulletin (currently 3.7.2 PL2). We may lose a few of the features we currently have on our site, but I think overall everyone will enjoy the new software.


So that's just a heads up of what's to come in the next few weeks. Lauren and I leave in just over a week to go to South Carolina to pick up the BMW. So that's just one more thing I've got to save up for

Summertime is always crunch time. Hopefully you'll be able to manage.

No worries Kyle, vinyls would be nice but no hurries, I think we can all understand the value of a dollar right now with gas prices and cost of living going up.
