It could be argued that the ads are, in fact, more interesting than the forum posts....oh, and the guy at the charity do was one of my many nominated stand-ins who I send out on such occasions, being as in-demand as I am. Ahem.

I have asked 20 car clubs which forum platforms they use.
If they're happy with them and can recommend them?
I gave a couple of our own clubs main forum gripes, and why we are asking for info.
I've already had a reply from Club Alpine-Renault, (and now the MR2 Owners Club) but will report back when I get more.

The issue all forums are built using a data structure, and exporting/importing this to a new platform would be a lot of work, or just not possible depending on the migration path.
Xenforo, invision, phpBB and maybe others can be migrated too, but I assume all would come with there own problems/challenges.
All forums have so many features and settings. I personally don't think the site is using them to the full advantages, for example the calendar section to put all the events into, if you don't know about things then it is hard to use/see them.
Also ads, these should be turned off for paying members, but show for none visitors/registered users.
Loosing everything isn't really an option. We've done that once already.Originally Posted by m8kwr
I do miss the search facility that the Stratos Supersite Forum had.
Chris, thanks for doing some digging. But Kev raises a good point about upgrading what we've got and customising it some more so it fits our requirements better, because we wouldn't touch the accumulated data in that scenario. No harm in seeing what else is out there though, cos you never know....
Anyway, thanks to everyone who came to Gaydon on Sunday, and put up with us wittering on about this and that and, for once, nobody heckled
You didn't bring her...and that and, for once, nobody heckled
Do you blame me???
