What's This? I liked the old one better? What's going on?!?!
As you have noticed by now the NPB is different. We are no longer using vBulletin. Our license expired recently and due to the price of a new license and the numerous problems/glitches we've had I have decided to switch back to an open source free forum software package. Things will take a bit of getting used to for sure, but after a couple of weeks you won't notice much of a difference. In fact I am in the process of adding a style which looks very similar to vBulletin so you can feel right at home.
Post your complaints here.

I couldn't log on drunk on St Pats to post guinness-tainted meaningless drivel (as opposed to my normal meaningless drivel).
Oh yeah, and those damned kids won't get off my lawn and I can't remember what channel Matlock comes on. MATLOCK!!!

Nice work Clay. I'm sure it was a pain to get the old database migrated over.
Nevermind. What am I saying?
You retard. WTF did you think you were doing? NPB was fine like it was and we don't need no meddlin kids changing the forum software on us.
Sorry, forgot where I was for a second.
Any way we can get the date/time of the last post displayed on the index page? I really got used to that feature of vbulletin (or maybe it was a feature of the style, who knows).
A couple of other whines...
No [del][/del] tag.
The smilies suck.
I'm sure there will be more whines as the day progresses. And this is where I'd add a :neener:, except, ya know, we don't have one.

Yo this new boars is nice. It's simple, clean and efficient. I just wish there was a button that generates random Irish racial slurs.

Based on strikingly irrational beliefs and emotions, modern liberals relentlessly undermine the most important principles on which our freedoms were founded. Like spoiled, angry children, they rebel against the normal responsibilities of adulthood and demand that a parental government meet their needs from cradle to grave. -Dr. Lyle Rossiter

I think given my lineage I'm proof that despite what Ray and Tim may say, the two CAN in fact get along. Of course, I'll have to consult with my other personalities, but when we reach a quorum, we'll surely let ya'll know.
