What Happened to the IM System?

I miss

the LS forum IM system. Why was it disabled?

The IM system wasn't deleted. When

we got our new website a couple years back, we moved to a new server and installed a completely clean copy of the

forum software. The IM system isn't a regular part of vBulletin, it is what is known as a "contribution" or

"hack." We could probably have it put in again, but I imagine we would have the same problem with it that the PM

system was causing, providing an avenue for commercial spammers and their agents.

why not use invision board?

I like Vbulletin. I am used to it.

There is a free board that is supposed to be nearly as good, but the admin side is completely different. There is a

way more stuff in there than you can imagine.

Bruce can I ask what

language it's made in if you know it?

**Bruce** · 02-09-2007, 09:31 AM

If you mean what language the

application is written in, it is displayed in the URL of all the various pages you open up: PHP
