Your name reminds me of this song;Now all we need to do is mass capture LET content and post it all into there
Repeat after me:
Bahahahahahahaha!
It is possible but would take time. I have done some crazy custom layouts with IPB but it takes some work.I was thinking of working on Vanilla style theme for IPBNot sure if it's possible.
Vanilla isn't really any good. It lacks in many areas. I set this up for people who miss the layout, but at the same time people have already started questing it. I've invited a bunch of people over to administer it, so there isn't really any conspiracy behind it (big lol).
Why is it down again?

Just updating it here:
Unfortunately we were hacked for a third time. Vanilla Forums appears to have numerous exploits which the hackers took advantage of. We are now working directly with Vanilla Forums to get LowEndBox safely and securely back online. More information will follow shortly.

Your Vanilla forums getting DDoS'd? Little f*ckers.
We have Enterprise Level DDoS mitigation so the attacks aren't can't really take the site down. I was trying to provide a service to the community, however the people behind LET/LEB (and you know who they are) seem to think otherwise, so like cowards they hide behind ridiculous nicknames and slander me and Jarland from Catalyst Host in public like we're trying to hide or something.

Vanilla is a piece of crap forum software, everyone knows that. The only cool thing about it was its layout on the front end, but the back end is total trash.
At this point I am totally disgusted with what LEB/LET has become, so I've taken down the Vanilla Forum. I mean a stock forum colored green is hardly a copy cat.
I'd like to actually do it right and use some decent software and have some of you guys take care of it. It's by the community, for the community.
This is in case anyone is actually still interested in participating in something that starts with LowEnd... Otherwise, screw it. There is VPS Board (I sold my IPB license to MannDude a while back and looks like he put it to good use), and I am working on my own little thing with XenForo, and when it's good and ready I'll announce it.
Anyway, so far we have a home here and it's all good. So guys let me know what you think.

@Ivan I'm more than happy and willing to help, and provide resources and whatever is needed. I don't have the time to moderate and police a forum, and that is why I have invited others, however I like to be part of a community and do something good and useful.
I think that this is a good LET alternative. My only contention was that we should have more than one place to gather. While a forum can go a long way with volunteer work, I think that a site where offers are placed and man hours are required to produce quality work should not be a volunteer based effort, but instead the people who do the actual work should be paid. At the end of the day no one should be required to work for free if it benefits a business.
That's just my two cents.

Feel free to write any content you likeAt the moment MinimalVPS (check my sig) is currently being worked on by Jarland, we'll see how it lifts off
I haven't heard from him yet so I am unsure of whether it is ready or not.
I don't want to be a "dictator" over it just keep it moving forward.
