Good call. vBulletin sucks ass. I'm glad you didn't think to update to their new version. This one will take some getting used to and maybe some config tweaks on your part.
I've had these same issues before (bots, shitty database queries, timeouts) on other forums using vbulletin. Their database queries just aren't well thought out. They have lots of queries like SELECT * FROM something WHERE id IN (6234,2345,2362345,2345,2345,2345,2345,236,456,456). where the literal array eventually makes the query too long, and causes errors and/or overhead just sending/processing the query.
Totally un-scalable shit. I doubt they'll salvage their product.

Hey Guy's
Ok first off lets get this out of the way, I apologizewe were in the process getting new servers up before this happened and doing the switch to the new software when, vbseo was injected with a redirect/javascript inclusion. Which made us get blacklisted in Google until we could fix the problem.
As most of you seen we fought with it for 2 days trying to get it back but vBulletin + vbseo programming was just not cutting it. So we had to make a decision.
1) Remove vbseo all together and let Google re-index all the pages on the site and be stuck with vBulletin software.
2) Install xenforo as our new software and do an update across everything.
We opted for #2 as it was the best for the future of the site, even though we realize that we were not able to give you guy's/girls ample notice about this.
We did the best by posting our status on Twitter but the way vBulletin session handling was we had to empty the database every few hours so you guy's could see the message
So that's it there, I am really excited with xenforo and the speed and pure strength of the programming put into this is amazing.
So let's use this thread to discuss issues that you see, or major changes that need to be addressed. This upgrade was rushed because we wanted to get everything back online ASAP.
