Reports of the death of this forum are premature and exaggerated

So I guess at least it's not an Angelfire page with revolving skulls.

Yeah I think I would be totally shocked if this forum changed its colour scheme. It just wouldn't be musicbanter anymore. The thing about MB is that it's frozen in time, forever and ever.

It costs $$ to upgrade, not to mention all the other BS that comes with it. It looks like the current vBulletin version being used here is 3.8 from 2009, with some 4.2 (2012) thrown in for some patches. The work involved in porting the millions of pages to a new release would be a lot to take on, so I'm thinking the mantra is if it aint broke dont fix it. It's been abandoned in place.

Still, changing the color scheme wouldn't take much other than changing the hex color code from #C8F4FB to a new one, I'm guessing, but no one's at the helm.

For those that are feeling ambitious hit Ctrl+U to see the source code while viewing any page on the site.

It's the bluest forum on the web! Bluer even than...

I have no issue with how the forum looks or its functionality. I grew up with the internet in this phase of its lifecycle that MB is perpetually stuck in (and have the associated nostalgia for it). We just need fresh meat.

Not to be confused with Spike Lee, or indeed, Spike from Buffy.

Or a sharp, rigid pointed object.

Do you ever wonder how many Musicbanter-like websites there are out there on the internet? Like tiny unimporant planets in distant galaxys, where the same characters with teh same attitudes discuss engineering, and vintage lunchboxes, and cartography.
