Trying to force me to go outside on Canada Day instead of reading the forums?

Out of curiosity why do we not use a PHP or Vbulletin based forum? I'm sure both would use less resourses.

Woot finally, hopefully it say "The fourms when boom" less often

Probably because the forum is much more 'technical' than any 'normal' forum.
It's connected to several other forums + hooked up to loads of various info on each individual user/customer.
Might be possible with PHP/Vb, but I guess it's not adequate for what SD/WB were looking for.

Makes sense I guess. However I notice that compared to other forums this site is very slow and the glitches are numerous.

I am pretty sure that even if you are using PHP/VB you could still have connection to the central database at SB/WB, and isn't PHP and VB the most advance fourms handlers out there? so how could it not meed SB/WB criteria
