[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 17801"] There are several problems with this software. The main one is that it eats up server resources like you wouldn't believe. Each page you see on these Boards does not exist. They are created on the fly. This program ties up the server and causes all our other pages to load slowly. The software was state of the art when we began using it in 1998. But it has not changed since then and has been passed by virtually all the new forum software. CattlePages's forum is the old Matt Wright version which he quit working on in 1996. We used it for a few months before we changed to this one. It's buggy as heck and has serious security problems. Ranchers.net uses software that runs only on a Miva server which runs storefront software for selling goods online. It would not run on our Linux server. It was also abandoned by the developer in 1999 and the software is not available anywhere on the net. So our antique (by Internet standards) software is the most modern used by the three most popular cattle forums. Since the new software used by four of our forums has reduced the forum software server load 30% I am thinking about leaving these two boards on their existing software for an extended period of time for people who like this format.
