Out here in my damn drawls
I know this has to be bringing back a lot of bad memories for the fatherless on here, waiting for their pops on the weekend, calling him with the 'where are you, daddy?' and getting the 'yo, I'll be right there, I'm just turning the corner onto your street'

:laff: I was about to post the same type of sh!t when I logged in and saw "The move has been rescheduled to tomorrow morning. Sorry for the delay & downtime"


Deadbeat: Tell yo mama I'm gon' take you to Disneyland next month

8 year old Coli breh: ::krs: :gladbron: Oh I can't wait, we're gonna ride all of the rides :ohlawd:.........*runs and tells all of his friends*

Next month comes, but no Disneyland, not even a phone call.....1 year later...


Deadbeat: Tell yo mama I'm gon' take you to Disneyland next month

9 year old Coli breh: :usho: Are you sure this time, you said that last time; You promise?!? :lupe:

Deadbeat: Yeah, yeah...yea I promise

Deadbeat: Tell yo moms I'm takin' you to Disneyland next month

12 year old Coli breh: Oh, wuurrrd :vickcmon:.....

i will vouch for bk upgrading from this version of VB sucks & very unpredictable. i use to own a sports forum (sold it :win:) and upgrading/transferring to a different forum software or even to a new version of VB was awful.

Later this week the forum will be undergoing a massive change. We will be switching to an entirely new forum software. As you probably noticed things have been running slow recently with long periods of downtime. We believe that switching to "Xenforo," a modern forum software will fix these issues as well as provide improvements to everyone's experience.

Right now we use vBulletin for our forum software and while it has been reliable for a long time it is out of date, inefficient and slow. The version that we use was originally released almost 10 years ago and since then vBulletin has released two new versions which have both been failures. Development on our version has basically stopped so there's really nothing else left for us to improve or add to The Coli.

The lead programmer who designed this version of vBulletin left the company and started his own software known as Xenforo. Xenforo is basically a modern, fast, on steroid version of what we use now. It is continuously being updated and should give us a solid foundation to continue to improve The Coli for the foreseeable future.

We're planning to do the move Thursday night but that hasn't been set in stone yet. We'll keep everyone updated but be aware that we might be down for up to 24 hours.


We've been running a test forum to make sure the software would work well for us and so far the Coli members who have used it have absolutely loved it. It's much easier to use than vBulletin and doesn't take long to learn. There's too many dope things to mention and I'll explain all the features once we make the switch but everyone is going to love the instant notifications as well as fully responsive design for easy mobile browsing.


If you have questions, ask away. I'll try to clear everything up.


One negative thing I have to mention is that there is no addon right now for personal smileys. I'd suggest that everyone backs up their smileys into a imgur.com account. Its easy as hell to insert images into a post, all you have to do is copy/paste and it inserts the image/smiley/gif automatically. We're going to try to find a programmer to code the personal smiley addon and get that and anything else we might be missing as soon as possible.



Everything will be transferred over. Posts, Threads, Daps, Usernames, Coli Cash

Update: All of our regular smileys (:gladbron: :childplease:..etc) will work. I was strictly referring to the smileys that members uploaded themselves.


Update: The move will start on Saturday morning 7/13.

Yo Bk you mean to tell me The-Coli going to look like this
