I know this thread is closed, but I have to clarify one thing.
1. The switch from vBullet in to xenforo was agreed between all parties in a mass convo (Emeralda, Myself, Alan, Boyd, Brad and Eduardo)
2. However, The reason for the seperation is not vBulletin vs Xenforo, or a discussion about forum software. It is a result of how one admin constantly worked against what had been agreed upon to further a personal agenda. It's a matter of refusal of cooperation and disregarding things that had been agreed upon.
3. As a result of these disagreements (Not all of which I'm going to share in public) things tend to end up with the sides throwing down the gauntlet, it was decided that further co operation would be difficult if not impossible when there was a lack of cooperation on that level.
4. The fact is that this isn't us "throwing" Emeralda under a buss. We're giving her the chance to go somwhere else where she has complete control, and doesn't need to agree with us on anything, which is something she clearly needs. Considering the difficulties of cooperation between the two sides it's simply a matter of what is best for both parties. She can take the database and continue her work with more autonomy and absolute control, while we can continue what we're doing to the best of our ability. We've lost a massive resource in Emeralda, and it will be impossible for us to replace her.
