The original owner (SaintDog/Jonathon) still holds the domain and hasn't transfered it over. We are trying to contact him so we can renew it:)

Not it's not. Why is the site down? Is he transfering the name, did the name expire, does this have anything to do with the intergration from vBt and vB.org.

It has expired and is now in registrar lock which gives the owner a month or two to renew, and no Brad doesn't own it.

If you the first reply by assassingod, you would know who owns it, what is going on and what we are doing about it.

Is there an alternate domain name or IP for vbt? I mean names are cool and all, but how about the content?

The IP redirects to the domain unfortunately, so at the moment there's no way of accessing it :)

Could stick the IP in your hosts file.. then it'd work.
Nope, it doesn't :(

Anyway, rest assured, we're trying all avenues in trying to contact Jon. Hopefully it'll be successful soon.

Yes, it's not like the merger was announced seven months ago. ;)
If it takes a year to make sure its *right* before we do it for real I'm willing to wait a year :).

I visited vbulletintemplates.com before the announcement and it was dead already... :ermm:

What is/was vbulletintemplates.com ? I can't remember ever visiting it.
Chris M

It was a site dedicated to the modification of vBulletin templates - Many members released template mods to improve the looks and/or layout of vBulletin pages :)

Oh.
Why not just have a templates forum here in the vb3 hacks area - you could rename the "Import Scripts" forum, I have never seen anything in that.
Chris M
05-12-2005, 09:06 PM
We did used to have a templates forum here, but all template modifications got moved to vBulletintemplates.com for whatever reason the Admins decided to move it...
Satan
vBt was an unoffical site for along time before it became offical, durring this time there was a template forum here. At the time there where a lot of active users posting template mods, many of them begin a 'templates only' version of hacks posted here. We had people like filburt1 turning out multiple modifications daily.
In the last 8 months (maybe longer) it has been rather dead on the posting side, we still got a lot of users but they mostly downloaded what they wanted and left :)

It was a bit sad, how when things weren't as active, most of our active posters just deserted the place. It made me quite angry at times, thinking me and brad, along with a few individuals were the only active posters left.
Life could have been given to it damn easily, it's just that many "people" only want to post on super active forums. Can you really blame them? :rolleyes:

What i find weird is that vBulletin.com and vBulletin.org are still linking vBulletintemplates.com in there forumslist on the forumhome. Take that off already, it takes like 2 secs to hid a forum. :p lol

well that sux. just when i had a chance to get back into developing my website i find the sites gone down. should have got a template sooner LOL

I see one template 'hack' has already been posted - a forum would be useful, even if only until this situation is resolved.

Can't yall just impex the vBt db into vB.org? It would be a lot easier on everyone. :-( I NEVER GOT TO DOWNLOAD ALL THE MODS!

That's probably sorta what is going to happen. Just doing it like you mean would be insane tho.
You can't just impex such a large database into another even larger one...there has to be some kind of time taken to make sure it all goes smoothly.
I would imagine that vbt being down is actually beneficial for the process.

Hence why the merger hasn't happened sooner.

You guys also have to remember; with people posting hundreds of messages here every day, updating profiles, editing messages, messages being deleted, etc., the database is ever changing.

You couldn't pay me enough money to merge to site like vb.org and vbt.com.

The impex merger is not the main issue, it's all the modifications to the source at both sites and the extra data like installs, versions etc that need to come along too :)

Don't forget theradids, userids, postids, ect..... showthread.php?t=987 for vb.org won't be the same for vbt.

Would it be possible get a new forum going for graphics and template works? It might just be easier if everyone reposted thier contributions at this point.
Tony G
05-16-2005, 04:49 AM
I don't think so. Some of us have poured hours upon hours of time into vBulletinTemplates.com, such as posting, modifications, keeping it going. To discard it like it was nothing would just be silly.
However, if you mean temporary, I'm not sure that's really needed. Template mods never came at a high pace for vB3, so I doubt the absense of vBT for a few weeks will disrupt anyones mod-making.
There's always vB.com's template forum.
