vBulletin-Languages.com Discontinued

Action: The vBulletin-Languages.com content has been merged into one forum, and moved to the main site vBulletin-Fans.com where it resides below the modify-your-community forum. No accounts or data has been lost. The login for vblang works on vbfans. And the domains will remain an alias for the time being.

Changes to the vBFans Network

Time for some changes. The vBFans network is a single set of files and one installed instance of vBulletin. And using a plugin we can add and remove sites to the network. The user doesn’t have to register again and again. Very handy. But it’s time to review the setup.

Explaining And Expanding The IRC Network

In the last few years I have hosted the vBulletin Fans Chat Network over at irc.vBulletin-Chat.com and we have grown quite a bit. We are still what is to be considered a small chat network, but we are an open network, have a flexible group of staff and have a growing group of supporters and chatters.

Each year I review the situation and decide whether to stop or continue with the chat network. After all, I pay it out of my own pocket or use the few donations we receive. And it could be that we’re paying too much for too many services when we perhaps only need half of the resources. Or, we might have grown so much that we need to double our set up and increase capacity. To just name a few questions I ask myself when the time is there again to make that decision.
