A statement/update regarding this issue will be released soon.
Stay tuned.
Stay tuned.
There is one more update incoming,so get ready because this time the target is the forum.
The software we're currently using [BurningBoard] will be replaced by vBulletin 4.2.2 .
It may not look like a big update per se,but everything is going to change.
Scheduled date: 4th of March,2014.
F.A.Q.
Q: What will happen to our accounts?
A: You'll have to create a new one,and you will be able to log in from the main site.
Q: Wait what?
A: You heard it. If you have,say,blog articles or pictures on the gallery be sure to save them before the scheduled date.
Same goes,to an extent,for your friends. If you want to keep in touch with them,keep in mind that doing so after the new system goes live will be harder for obvious reasons.
Q: Was this your idea?
A: No.
Q: Why is this happening?
A: Maker built their new site on foundation of vBulletin.
Q: What will happen to ProjectPew.net?
A: It's not going to survive,sorry.
Q:What will happen to the current team?
A: There will be changes in there aswell,though that comes from our side and not Maker's.
mKeRix - Out.
Dano - Out.
Xebaz - Out.
Flamez3 - Out.
Vicsyyy - Out.
Bundyclan - In.
smk730 - In.
Maker's guys will obviously stay.
The line-up is confirmed. Unless something changes in the following days, Bundyclan and smk730 will be the only ones staying.
As a reminder,we made our own choices without external "aid",as in Maker didn't tell us to leave/stay. We chose to.
Stay tuned.
I'll just leave this here.

vBulletin has LOADS of importers, it's not a technical limitation by any stretch. vBulletin 4's Impex (Impex being their import system) supports Burning Board 3, I just downloaded a copy of Impex to double check and there is indeed a set of import scripts for wbb3 into vBulletin 4. It's incredibly easy to do too.
That'd import posts, threads, users, everything but the wbb3 specific stuff (so Gallery and Webdisc, which can be re-done).
Source: I was working with vBulletin 3 back before vBulletin 4 was even a concept, let alone the vBulletin 5 they're on now. Still do for a client or two on vB4 (nobody uses vB5, don't be silly...).
