What I find funny are the BS excuses about waiting to update the site before adding anything. Anyone who has EVER worked with vB would know that this site is pretty much the standard script with very few intensive scripts that require 40+ hrs of "tweaking" to get right. If that is the case, then obviously the admin here is in way over his head and can't admit it. In fact, without really digging into the site, the only apparent mod seems to be the chatbox.
And seriously, any and all mods are simply a matter of copy/pasting into the proper files, so it's not difficult (most even have install scripts by now). If it takes him 40+hrs to come up with this basic vB layout, I highly doubt he's doing any special tweaking of his own, definitely doesn't look like it. The addition of tapatalk would not have added much time at all to any upgrade as you're already messing with the files anyway, adding a couple lines of code while you're in there would take a minute or two.
The fact is he just doesn't give a ****, probably doesn't bother checking this forum when he's out of the house (which seems to be the case given noone could contact him), and wants to do as little as possible with the site as he draws in the advertising money. Of course he has to make everyone think he's actually making an effort, and comes up with the obvious lie of how much time he spent on an upgrade that takes any competent forum operator a couple hours at most, and only if they run into problems.
That said, I don't use this site, likely never will, but saw a link to this thread and had to comment. and for the record, it still took GPONA 7 months to add Tapatalk after I initially requested it, but at least they added it.
