Yeah, I'm doing it again. By luck or divine intervention I've been sharing a box with BoomGames for quite some time now due to the loss of my previous dedicated server. Now, with more legroom, load averages on the boomgames server should drop and disk space outages should cease.

The new server is a dual P3 550MHz w/ 256MB RAM and a 9GB 10,000RPM SCSI disk running FreeBSD. Please let me know of any issues with the site and/or forums that crop up, although I am trying my hardest to have a seamless transition.

One more thing I am planning on doing soon is ditching UBB. I am sick of this piece of crap and want to use ikonboard which is faster, better written, and has far more features (one of them being that it's free). The only problem is, there are no suitable conversion tools for UBB 5.46 to iB v3. If anyone has the skills and time to help me write some, you would be doing us all a favor.

It's part of the transition. Makes my life easier.

It will disappear in a few days.

My test copy is installed at:
http://www.detonate.net/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi

if you want to play with it. Feel free to register user accounts and play with the stuff in the personal control panels, post topics/polls, whatever. You may start seeing threads and users pop up as I work on conversion tools.

I think I can write those tools...no problem

However, I think ActiveTopics (click here to see a demo) is a better board. (a friend of me wrote it)

Do you need test copies of UBB member and thread files for writing the tools?

I know UBB's structure, but Iconboard's structure is unknown to me. Is it SQL-based or just flat-text?
