I am curious as to why it is going to take so long. I have done migrations to vBulletin before. They don't take Days. 6-8 hours perhaps. The process is automated for the most part, and not one you want to leave idle while doing other work.
/em shrug. May also be a DNS change involved. Ether way I will see you all on the other side.
Aw, come on!

Honestly? A couple of reasons.
1) These forums have always sucked and the backend for them is more cumbersome than it needs to be
2) The people running these forums.....don't really know how to run it very well. More a point of #1 than anything, but I don't think this was any of their primary experiences before coming on board. Dear god if that isn't true, the next software can't make up for all shortcomings.
3) It's been YEARS they've been talking about moving to another software. If anyone recalls, there was a glitch however long ago that had some people already going to and reading what was on the vbulletin awhile back. This has actually been in the works for far too long.
Vbulletin is pretty idiot-proof though. But it won't make up for horrendous writing abilities.

10 inf says when the new forums open, there's no Victory subsection, just another Virtue forum specifically for talking about furry little animals or something. 
EDIT: Oh, and I'll catch you on the flip side.

Everybody should stop this foolishness! Who cares who gets the last spot? Aren't we all mature enough to not care about such trivial things?
