But, I feel very safe just backing up my files.. and I find it (for me) better then updating every month or so.
Just look at www.RapMusic.com - they have over 64,000 members, and their still running 2.2.6, I talk with the owner, all he does is back up his SQL, and all his HTML files..


Yes, it is the "smart" decision to update all the time. But for most people it's not the more realistic one..
Then this is really a question of 'sould i upgrade a hacked board?', because it sould be a realistic option for anyone not running hacks, because all you have to do is upload the new files, and in most cases run a script to update the db schema/import new templates.

If you have a hacked board i can understand skiping minor releases without security holes in them, however if you hack you sould understand how to upgrade your board without to much tourble. The current version of kousetsu runs about 20 custom/pre made hacks and i upgrade every version via beyound compare.

Running 2.2.6 now a days is just asking for tourble, it may be true that you back up the DB and files everyday but think of all the tourble you could save yourself if you just took a hour or so to upgrade your hacked board. I only back up once every week and a half because im on 56k. So upgrading saves me time and worry.

And what kind of crap do you listen too, wannabe angry teens? If you have any security hole it's a huge issue, that's why you should always upgrade. As 2.3 is a release candidate and VB3 is soon to come out I probably will not upgrade this time even though I should.

1). Hip-hop (not "rap") is the BEST form of music to this date...
Punk is OKAY, but I'd much rather listen to someone letting their emotions loose on a beat with a real nice, clean baseline..
then hear some skroney kid screaming his lungs out, saying words that some of us arn't even sure are words.. sometimes I just think they lose their breath and forget the words at the same time.. Not to mention that 90% of the background music is just clashing, which CAN be good, but usually isn't.
But lets not talk about hip-hop being SOOOOOOOOOO much better then punk, or any foarm of music for that matter.

That site which is running 2.2.7 has been up since 99', and has been using 2.2.7 since it's release, I've never noticed a hack.
Now, as for updating, yes.. you SHOULD do it, but I don't think it's really all that nessicary to do it EVERY tme VB releases an update.
Personally, I don't like doing it, especially because I have to re-install alot of hacks, and 'til now I didn't know there was a program that did it for you.

Rap, by definition (literally), is not music. Rap is just a bunch of retarded jobless losers whining about their lives and bragging about the violent crimes they've committed and stuff that they've sniffed.

Obviously you've never listened to a rap song before. You know what kind of people I think are "retarded jobless losers "? The kinds that will make a stupid comment based on stereotype instead of researching the subject they are commenting on.
