Finally after almost 2 decades of service, Motorcycle Philippines will be shifting it’s forum software from the old Vbulletin platform to the Xenforo platform.
Vbulletin has been the default forum software for years. If you were a serious community builder you had to use Vbulletin. Unfortunately, over the years, Vbulletin has become unreliable and bloated. I have always had problem with server configuration as well as server errors with this platform. The headaches have far outweighed the benefits of this platform. Hence the move to Xenforo.
Xenforo is basically the new and improved Vbulletin. Sporting most of the features of Vbulletin but with better coding and a better UI experience.
I will be initiating the transfer soon. Once I begin, expect an announcement since it may take a couple of days to import all the data from our rather sizeable database (7gb+). So expect a bit of downtime for the Forum.
Exciting times for the site and I hope to see better performance as well as a better experience for all the loyal MCP users out there.
Thank you very much!
