The site is currently using vBulletin community software, which we feel is no longer able to meet the needs of the CAG community. John and I have decided it would be best to change the community software which powers this site.
We will be switching the forums and blogs over to the Invision Power Suite community software soon after the latest version of their forum software goes live. This change will yield many advantages, including many great new features, multiple skin options for CAG users, and improved performance.
I've been testing out the software on the official Invision forums and blogs and am convinced you will love it. Most everything that sucks about vBulletin is fixed in IPB. Feel free to check it out.
FAQ
Q: Will I lose any data I currently have on CAG? Do I have to do anything to prepare for this transition?
A: No. Everything will get transfarred over.
Q: When will this chance occur?
A: Soon after IPB 3.2 is released. I'm guessing late summer.
Q: I looked at the official IPS site and I think it's ugly. Are you sure this is the right move?
A: We can customize the look to make it more CAG-like. We can even have a light and dark option, which has been a long-time requested feature.
Q: Are you going to change the rest of the site too?
A: Yes. Moving to IPS will make it much easier for us to improve the look and functionality of all aspects of the site.
Q: Will you upgrade the servers too?
A: Yes.
