Topic: Why UBB?

I know everyone and their mother uses UBB, but seeing as how you're kinda strapped for cash (we all know you've got a big wad of "cash") why didn't you use < ?

UBB == not free
Phorum == free

Seems like a clear choice to me, then again I'm a cheap bastard.

I want to see your orange hair. NOW.

Simple. Phorum blows.

And yeah, shouldn't you be dyeing your hair, orange boy? When I want your opinion I'll beat it outta ya ;-)

I was so obsessed with your hair I forgot about the topic at hand. Phorum is pathetic. Simple as that. UBB is the God of all BBS software.

Soon ... very soon

I woulda had it done by now, but seeing as how I had a job interview that seemed like a bad idea to show up w/ orange hair. Now that I have the job I should be dying it a week or so (no promises)

Just to let you know dying your hair KILLS it. Since my hair _was_ black I had to dye it a ton of times just to get it light enough to even dye it orange. This is why it's been taking so long. I'd like to have some hair on my head when this is all done.

Just pour about 3000 containers of dye in a bathtub. And stick your hair in overnight.

Are you crazy? I already leave the dye in longer that it's "supposed" to be in and after about an hour or so my head is on fire (it's actually putting of noticable heat)

Gotta love those chemical reactions =)

UBB is expensive, but then again it is possible to type something like, oh, "UBB warez 5.39" into google, and see what happens. Not that cr0bar would do something like that, of course.

Seriously, good choice on going with UBB, It's not only good software but is the closest thing to "standard" message board software, which is good.

Warez are not cool at all. Why the hell do you think software is so damn expensive anyways? I'll bet you a good deal of that is because of people who visit warez sites and share all their software with their friends. Stealing software is one of the few things that ticks me off. Okay, enough bullshit, but it is not cool to steal stuff, whether it's a T-shirt from the store or a copy of Photoshop 5 it's still wrong. Congrats to cr0bar for having the integrity to purchase UBB instead of getting it from a warez site.

Who said he didn't warez it? =p

Some software is just asking to be stolen, although it's illegal. Photoshop comes to mind, who really has the 躔 or so it costs to buy it beside companies or people that use it for a living? If it was reasonably priced I'm sure it wouldn't get warezed as much. Just my Ũ.02

Yeah, we trust you cr0 and you did mention that you dished out the dough for UBB (at least I think I read that, but at this hour of the night my mind could be playing tricks on me.)

Posted by eng_man on May 19 2000,00:09

/me looks around

Ummmm ... I dunno. What does a crook look like? That shady character in the corner wearing dark clothes? Or the guy that has a pocket full of cds?

The people you keep an eye on are the ones who don't steal anything, it's the ones that you dont watch that rob you blind.

Damn, I wish I could remember where I read that. Till then I just claim it was my amazing intellect that came up with it.
