LOL, too bad we had "unsinkable" life boats. I can just see the headlines now: [b1e933]Rescue Crews Find Bloodied Life Boats Still Afloat, Passenger Locations Unknown[/b1e933]

Stops were Playa del Carmen, Mexico; Belize City; and Cozumel, Mexico. Cozumel was definately the best. :D

Geez, smigit posted that in another thread, I replied, and he deleted it before my reply went through... had to make me look like a fool, didn't he? ;)

:oops:

My pen computer has been on so long it's burning my lap, my hand is worn out from tapping posts, my eyes are bleary from staring at this screen, and my mind never did work all that well in the best of circumstances ...

While you were down there in Cozumel, you didn't to happen to see a nice looking brunette in a dark suit with a laptop running Mozart's Ghost, did you?

Here's another fine post from one of the vB forums Admins!

This question was asked.

[quote969f2]I'm thinking there may be an adjustment of vB's pricing in the near future due to competition from some free alternatives.[/quote969f2]

And here was the charming reply from their board admin "Tubedogg"

[quote969f2]The price will not be going down, if that's what you are implying. "Free competitor" is kind of an oxymoron...

I really don't consider phpBB to be competition. The only thing it's got going for it is a new style.[/quote969f2]


Thread for those interested is

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthre ... ight=phpbb

I guess they're getting a little more defensive as time goes by. Sad when an actual admin feels they need to slam their competition like this....

[quotebbcae="greggish"]I didn't mention phpBB in my post...I just said "free alternatives". But, it is not surpising that phpBB would be very much on the minds of the vBulletin developers and automatically pop into your head. I don't necessarily see a contradiction in terms between "free' and "competitor", consider how Microsoft is more than just a little bit agitated over Linux. As far as the current pricing of vBulletin remaining unchanged, only time will tell on that one. But I'd be willing to make a friendly wager that it doesn't.[/quotebbcae]

He fired off with "phpBB" without it even being mentioned. :D
