Hello Everyone

Let me start this off by saying- Forumotion is a good forum host, but it is dragging our forum down by 70%.
So, I have asked someone from ForumPromotion.net to make a custom MyBB forum. Basically it will have a new logo, name, forum icons, and forum Attributes (which we needed!). A clone of Fudge, but our new name will be 'Promotion Fox'.
We will have to start over, all our posts. MANY people have told me to move, but now I shall do it.

A new name is a big move, but not many people take 'Fudge Promotion' seriously enough. Hopefully the new name will be more promotion related. We will have a new mascot fox too- similar to Fudge. Big Smile

Why are we moving? Because this has been coming for a long time. I refuse to close down, but the forum will have to have a more simple, more popular MyBB choice, as it is faster, and I like the idea of having different forum icons. And the look will match.

Sadly, we will have to start off with a free domain name!!! I will try and get a few donators (in return for posts) or when the time comes, posters can volunteer to post for other forums, for our donations.
It hasn't been made yet, but it will soon, so when it is, I would like to ask all staff and members to rejoin. If you don't, then thank you for being with us, but I hope to see you there. A mass email will be sent out when it is ready, including a global annoucement.
I will sell this forum to someone, if anyone will take it, but I am looking for at around £60-£79. (Sorry for the price XD)
PM me if you want Fudge for that price.

Thank you Smile

Is there a way to use this same address fudgepromotion.con as a redirector?

And in itself it sounds really good. If you think this will lead us to better go with it. All the name change and everything sounds exciting!

MyBB is far better than phpBB lol. Better plugin system, easy theming system, lightweight.

Only thing that's really poor about MyBB is the default theme...

What features does it lack? List them, bet I can find plugins. If it's not essential it doesn't need to be in the main installation - that's what makes it lightweight. The plugin system makes up for any lack in features by far.

As for group leaders - they are included.

Yes, ACP > Users & Groups > Groups > Edit Group > Group Image, most forums use it. You'll see the mods database has images for people: http://mods.mybb.com/graphics

Here's some of mine:

Oh erm, never looked. It's be easy to do a different way - assign them their own group and make them leader of the secondary group. I'll see if there's a simple plugin or I might get someone to make one. Wink

To be honest with you though, that is a very small feature. Wink

I bet it's possible, the demand for the plugin just has to be high enough.

I am a MyBB fan but I do think phpBB is good. The only downside of phpBB is it's plugin system is crap and the ACP is a bit of a jumble although it's not that bad. It's really down to what the admin prefers.

If you're going to be using lots of plugins then you have to choose MyBB for ease of use though.

Oh also, MyBB has an amazing plugin for a mobile theme (MyBB GoMobile) allowing users to select what theme mobiles are automatically redirected too (you're provided with a very basic mobile theme). Is there one for phpBB?

It's going to be www.PromotionFox.com.
But it will have to be a free sub domain name at the moment, until we can raise the money.

And I'm paying 2,000 FP$ on ForumPromotion.net Worried

All staff and members can rejoin, and transfer over. We can't actually transfer this forum to the new host.
And MyBB is much more faster, simpler, and easy.

If anyone is a MyBB expert, they can be a Forum Technical Supporter on the new forum.

And we're getting a new custom theme! Not a default.

I would consider myself a MyBB expert to some degree. I've run Extenditude for 3 years now (founded it under a different name) and I've also been technical assistant at a game clan forum running MyBB which unfortunately closed down.

If you need any help at all just let me know.

I could make a custom theme although it wouldn't be as good as one made by the top designers although their minimum charge is usually $50.

I'm nearly finished on making a new theme for Extenditude actually.

It seems that more and more people are resorting to that in forums, I've seen it happen in some communities I am in, all you need as a member afterwards is reset your password and set up again avatar and signature (in some cases) but your post count is there as well as the posts database..

I think you should switch to ZetaBoards. It has a LOT of good themes and a really simple CP that can do lots of things.

If you're looking for a free host you could use ByetHost although it's quite slow. You could use http://www.000webhost.com/ as well but they delete your account if you don't log in every month. :O

EDIT: This host looks very good actually: positivehosting.com

But if you want to sign up with the username PromotionFox I signed up with it without thinking. I can easily change the email to yours lol.

As I've said before - plugin system is shocking. Otherwise it and MyBB are about on a par. Is MyBB more lightweight as well?

Well, The theme isn't what I was hoping for exactly... or the logo.
I don't know how to download themes from MyBB either. I wanted 'The Cure', but when I read how to download it, it all went out of another ear Sad
And there's a error with the sub-domain, can't redo it either: http://daisy.7uw.net
I don't want my name in the title! Typo Sad
Any MyBB experts here? I was hoping to replace the logo with one of mine, but I don't even really like that: URGENT: Fudge is Moving! 648a55c1ad181bd0

You arent moving, you are creating a new forum and asking these members to join your new forum.
They have forumotion converters: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=861505 (not sure if that is the right one).
You could convert the forum over to real phpbb3 then convert that forum to MyBB if you wanted.

Edit, you want to sell this forum: http://forumpromotion.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=118&t=73743
Which confirms the 1st sentence in this post.
