Loss of Founding Dates in the post-Jolt era?

It is my understanding that the forums will be switched to vBulletin when the server moves to Jolt. Although I prefer phpBB to vBulletin, I've made my peace with the change and was looking around the vBulletin Community Forum (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/index.php) to get a feel for the new software.

Then I noticed something. Unlike in phpBB (or Invision for that matter), the founding dates in the corner of the page read "Join Date: Jun 2000". No day of the month, just the month and year. I checked the Jolt public forums (http://forums.jolt.co.uk) (which are incidentally an out-of-date version of vBulletin) and noticed a similar phenomenon ("Registered: Jan 2002").

Will the founding dates of our nations in the NS forums suffer the same fate? :(

No, we wont accept an answer such as that, you failed to mention Monkeys, r00st3rs or Caek.

Will you accept the answer of "I and the r00st3r believe it will, so long as the monkey is willing."

Noooo!

I'm an early July nation.

I'm almost in June, and now I might be almost in August.

ANd I have another reason to be mad about their elimination of the joined-date memberlist. :evil: :evil: :evil: :tantrum: :tantrum: :tantrum:

As Goober pointed out: Why couldn't we keep our own forums?

You know, a month or so isn't really very long at all. My first nation died due to the ban on paradise.net.nz, and will have lost about sixteen months as a result.

Still no Caek in there, though. Will you accept the answer of "I and the r00st3r believe it will, so long as the Caek!!1 monkey is willing."There, much better.

This nation is actually my third one - I can't log in as any of the others on the forum (using the forum login didn't work). My first nation used to be 04 Jan 03, but now it'll be April 04.

Better 24 hours up-time on V-Bulletin, than 4 hours of up-time on phpBB.
