Many consider him more egomatic than Serebii.

He can be a nice person when he's not being egomatic.

IIRC, micfo.com is M3's host.

This place is so dead.

Dose anyone know how hard it is to transfer a phpBB database to a vBulletin forum?

aRedMoon March 16th, 2007 3:04 PM

It shouldn't be hard at all, vB has that conversion software for it.


...rawr... T_T WHY CAN'T THINGS JUST WORK? :(

My VPS is down because something keeps spiking the memory...?!

pokejungle March 16th, 2007 8:43 PM

Well it's not me ;<

What would even cause that though?

Where did you purchase your VPS Koroku? What OS?

The process is pretty simple. You download Impex from your Member's Area and upload it into your forum's root directory, then go to your ACP and click Import. Follow the steps it gives you, and that's literally it. There's tons of documentation to help you if you get stuck, as well, and since Impex IMPORTS the data into a new database, your original database isn't at any risk if you mess up.

See I have been using a free forum provider called "ForumUp". They have recently added the ability to make backups from their freely hosted phpBB forums. When I make a "full backup" and I have the files downloaded, do I just basically click import and select this backup file?

Is that all, or is editing needed?

Rindiny March 25th, 2007 4:07 PM

You're converting to vBulletin..?

BlueEew March 26th, 2007 3:01 PM

Yep. Currently I am running a free forum hosted by a provider, and soon I will have a paid host, domain and vBulletin owned lisence set up. I will backup and restore the database, and I am also buying a custom forum skin.

I am also setting up a website to go with it, I hope to compete with bigger sites out there.

Dose anyone here do Pokemon webdesign for cash, I love the templates made by Zero/zeroality. Once he said I could buy one for $50, and now I want one I get no reply from him.

If anyone can do layouts professioal looking like Zeros, and can do it for a decent price with full rights, PM me.

Zeros Designs;

www.pokerealm.net,
www.pokemononline.org,
www.uustadium.com.

I don't want anything the same, I want a unique design as good as quality as those.

Rindiny March 26th, 2007 3:15 PM

I could make a design like that through Adobe Photoshop CS & ImageReady CS 8, but I'm not too good with slices myself.

PoKeMaNiAc March 26th, 2007 3:25 PM

ahh come on, its simple and easy to design a beau in photoshop.

Rindiny March 26th, 2007 5:18 PM

I need help slicing the right way. If an expert can help me, my layout knowledge would be history.

Lord Kokeii, remember me, Broken Wings? XD
I'm gonna start a new website soon, hope to get a good layout and everything. I can't think of a theme though XD.

BlueEew March 31st, 2007 4:56 AM

They are good layouts.

See how the three examples I have given are unique to other Pokemon websites? Like the navigation bars, and other stuff like that? I am looking for something like that.

Blackpast March 31st, 2007 5:04 AM

I've got my site up, what do you think of the layout?

Rindiny March 31st, 2007 7:20 AM

Koroku, you better tell me that you've heard of Rapid VPS before. I save so much more money on there. They offer Webmin to you as a default if you have no Plesk/Virtuozzo/CPanel, correct?

I like it, also it is good to see a young webmaster. ;)

Rindiny March 31st, 2007 4:39 PM

The layout looks nice and all, though AwardSpace is starting to become an inferno for hosting now. If you're on free you have so many restrictions. I recommend Parahosting if you're looking for average free plans. It's going to upgrade to CPanel soon, so you might want to consider it. I also don't recommend using the type of navigation you use. It looks unprofessional and it's distracting. For a moment I thought you had no content.

I went with a company that was light on the pocket book, and also had good reviews. Zone.net was pretty good across the board.
Never heard of Rapid VPS, though a quick google search doesn't leave me wishing I had gone with them. Most reviews seem to be poor.

And after I had an upgrade to a 64.00 plan, the server Memory Usage went down to 52%, so it's all good right now. Just too many scripts running. I have a bad hostee base, even if it has most friendly members, users barely use there accounts. I don't know why give users so much space for nothing.

http://blog.dats.us

Wish I had more of a use for it though.

Geometric-sama April 9th, 2007 9:16 AM

WordPress isn't bad, but I prefer something with a little more power. I experimented with Nucleus CMS for a while, and I'm looking at Drupal now.

Faltzer April 9th, 2007 9:36 AM

Nucleus is pretty bad, I tried Drupal as well. It really isn't too special. I tried Immerse CMS and it's pretty nice. Joomla! is too advanced even for me.

Geometric-sama April 9th, 2007 9:42 AM

Nucleus is nice if you want something simple. I'm finding that Drupal is very powerful if you know how to use it correctly. Not really something for n00bs though.

Faltzer April 9th, 2007 10:02 AM

It'd be even more powerful if they implemented more features. Have you tried using Joomla!

Morkula April 9th, 2007 10:37 AM

Drupal is nice, but it takes a while to learn how to use it. I tried experimenting with it, but I still haven't quite learned my way around it.

Never really cared for Joomla - the interface is just too clunky and it's really not all that great as a whole.

And I've never even heard of Immerse CMS. Looks nice though, from what I just saw on the site. Might have to try it out.

Faltzer April 9th, 2007 11:56 AM

For those who are interested in Ruby.


I also found out an interesting fact. Google uses a favorite programming language of mine as their programming language. Python.
