Update: Looks like the comments already made cannot be exported to vBulletin unless I write something to do it. That also means the stats are going to be odd when exporting. There are a lot of potential problems with this setup, so looks like the idea is going to be scrapped, and things will remain the same.
I’ll place the forums back on partisanrhetoric.com and leaving it there. Sorry for the problems, because I thought this would be a nice idea to discuss things a little further. The forums integration should be disabled completely by tomorrow afternoon if not sooner.
Update 2: Forums are deactivated. Things are back to where they were.
Update 3: I added BBPress, and it seems to work a LOT better. I opened registration for readers, but registration is not required for comments on the blog. This is only of you wish to comment on the forums, make threads, or be part of this site. I look forward to any and all to register so we can learn more and discuss the issues a little further. Thanks!
Old post: The process is pretty tedious and murky, and do not know what is compatible or not in the way of plugins and such. The question remains, should readers wanting to comment have to register? So far it does not seem necessary unless I want to use vBulletin for the comments. That is of course, I allow that particular forum to use anonymous posting which is another possibility. I still have to ask questions of the author of this plugin to get a better understanding on how this works, and in the meantime, things will appear normal and posts/comments will not redirect you to vBulletin just yet.
Also, I would like to get readers’ feedback if this is a good idea or not, or if readers that do comment here would want to register to comment.
Thank you for your patience, and this is one of the reasons why regular, in depth postings have been sparse the last few days.
