Has VF become Abandonware? - Page 5

I'm pretty bad with administration so I just donated my $20 via PayPal (not knowing when I last did it!) I hope Wendy hears our pleas!

When Weight Watchers shut down the message boards, splinter groups moved over to freeforums.net.

I don't know a single thing about how administering that works, if there is a cost, etc., but I don't pay any fees. Occasionally spam filters in but the admins delete it quickly. That said - the community I joined is small compared to VF.

Anyways, just my 2 cents since I don't do facebook. I hate even talking about the "what if" but that's probably where I would go to potentially find out where people migrated to since I'm not on facebook.

There is a tapatalk forum connected with VF Roost/ Videofitness. It's not very active, but I think that's only because everyone is over here.

I believe the Tapatalk VF Roost got deactivated due to inactivity within the past year or so. There was a post/announcement from whoever had volunteered to admin it a little while back if I recall correctly

Yes, that's correct, sbh tried to keep it up. Just didn't seem to be enough interest.

I don't know how hard it is to reactivate or whether she'd even be willing if something happened to VF.

I am willing to start another forum on Tapatalk. Just let me know if there is an interest.

I went over to the vBulletin website. There are options to upgrade. It didn't look overly expensive. Our version is 3.8.3. The newest version is 5.

I'll admit that IT topics are way out of my experience.

So what is the price? Interested in the bottom dollar.
