VB Geek / Gars dead!

[hohleweg]

Hi
I think VB Geek/Gars is dead / abandoned

what is the alternative?
Greetings jo

It still works for the vB 3 series but it wont be ported over to vB 4. Hopefully the vB 5 CMS will be better than the vB 4 CMS then we can shift over to that.

Currently Gars is still a lot better than the vB 4 Article CMS so we're just waiting for vB 5.

VB 5 ??
in 2012? :-)

you'd be better of deploying wordpress + one of the many popular and supported article mods or other solutions before waiting for vb5.

Yes 2011/12 .. I think its more likely 2011. Gars isn't really good but wordpress/ vB CMS sucks much more.

So because there is hardly any other alternative better stick with vB 3.8.X + Gars for the next 1-2 years.

I am glad to hear that others still stick to GARS, in case of troubles, it is an advantage that it still used on a large number of sites.

there are a few mods that can do what GAR's did here at the ORG, just have to search for them.

I had great hopes from the vB4 CMS/Article system. But I am very disappointed with it. Gars is so much better. I hope that the vB5 CMS will be good. Then we can shift to that.
