A recent OS upgrade in our forum server wiped a 10 year old 150k+ user UBB board. And No backups of the data was to be had.
We had planned on upgrading to Vbulletin for a few months but working out the logistics of it was holding us back. We had UBB set up as a seprate install for each site with a shared user table. We are not sure if the data from the old forums will be recovered hopefully they will be. Till then have been rebuilding each sites forums templates and trying to restore the look and feel of the old ones using a single install of Vbulletin.

This is a MMO network and have been looking at some mods and frankly was wondering if people had any suggestions for ones we should have. We also have a Off Topic forum that is 18+ and found a mod that allowed us to lock the forum by age. But the only disclaimer mod I could find used ajax which works for some and others well ad blocker and we have some tin foil hat people that shut off java.

Any suggestions or links would be helpful we are using 3.7 and the forums are located at
