» Welcome to the new DemolitionForum.com!

As many of you know we have been working behind the scenes for awhile now preparing for the launch of the new site. There is still some work that we needs to be done, like a finish the new classifieds section and work on a new photo gallery and a few little quirks here and there, but rest assured we are working on them as quickly as possible.

To give you a little background, in December of 2009 vBulletin, the makers of the forum software, released their newest version. We were going to upgrade the forum right away, but as it become apparent, a lot of our current modifications were not compatible with the new version. Plus there were more than 300 bugs that needed to get fixed and that still took awhile. Plus we wanted to wait until the software was stable enough for us to make our changes and not have to fix them time and time again.

We were going to use a new classifieds software, but it has yet to be compatible with the new software, same with the gallery. Unfortunately, right now, the gallery software maker is not going to be spending time to upgrade his product, so we are looking for alternatives and we may just use the forum's built in gallery.

So we hope you enjoy the new site! Please let us know what you think and if we can help you in any way.

James
