For about two and a half weeks, we went without forums, but we weren't just being lazy and sitting around. We were constantly talking about a solution to the problem at hand, and came up with 2 conclusions: All contribute to buy a vBulliten or get a phpBB or Invision board. The problem with the vBulliten though is that Ryan would have to send me some money, then we would buy the rest, but that would result in another 2-4 week waiting period, so we decided to go ahead and set-up an Invision Board.

The Hellish Weekend: On Friday, March 7th, we decided late at night that we were going to set-up an Invision Forum. On Saturday, Ryan and I began work, while Mike was out on a BMX filming day. I had a few problems uploading all the files, which resulted in having to delete them and re-uploading them. Once I finally uploaded them, Ryan got to work with some new images and a new skin, and I set-up the catagories, set the permissions, etc. I had already disliked the Admin CP, and how it functioned. It gave you very little options and rule over the forums, basically a piece of shit. And Ryan, well, he was having a time. You couldn't install skins, and that got him mad, and then he couldn't figure out how to do some other things, even after someone on the support forums had tried to help(which didn't help at all actually). So, after leaving a "nice" message on their forums, we deleted the Invision boards and uploaded a phpBB. After a day of hard work, we had gotten up most of the board, with some things still to add. We did those throughout the day, and then open them to the public. A few more little hacks here and there were added, and we've gotten quite a few members quickly since it has only been open since Sunday.
