vb ignores Youtuber with 1,1 million followers

[Walter]

Youtuber Louis Rossmann from Rossmann Repair Group calls out for help in a video to 1,1 million followers that his commercial forum hosted by vBulletin gets no support since January. His support ticket shows that he waits days, sometimes weeks for an answer and the issue still gets no meaningful answer.

Should go XF or managed/cloud Invision with that following. Wasting time complaining about vB. But, if they can monetize it, maybe a couple hundred a month for forum seekers

Oh, those Youtubers with millions followers. Drama is their brad & butter...

See how pampered we are here?

Definitely, if he's charging $30 a month for people to post.

I watch his videos from time to time when they pop up in my feed, I really like what he's done for right to repair and generally calling out companies like Apple on their BS when appropriate. I remember looking at his forum last year and seeing that he was on VB and being incredibly surprised given the technical nature of his business.

The XF guys should reach out directly to Louis and demo the user upgrade system. He's got a huge audience of tech fans.

I replied to one of his comments on the video nearly an hour ago introducing myself as one of the developers and inviting him to get in touch at the forum here.

Marketing on it! Get one, get all.

And 2.2 sooner than later.

A tech guy who chose vB has lost credibility with me right there.

vB was great in 2002. Dumb in 2012. And not trying in 2020.

A business man reparing mainboards has to be knowledgable in forum software? And has lost "credibility"???

My server guy is a wizard, there is nothing he doesn't know about securing servers and getting the last drop of speed out of them. He knows zilch about forum software, and doesn't want to know.

 

[RobinHood]

Quit bickering everyone, he’s here! Best behaviour now.

No scaring off the famous YouTube repair guy and NYC commercial real estate reality tv star.

A business man should know he doesn't know about forum software and get someone else to do it.

This is a highly weird opinion

We all get involved in things we know little about and learn from our mistakes. When I bought my first forum (vBulletin 2/3) I couldn't get it to install even though I was coding 6502 assembly language.

To this day vBulletin is still dining out on its past reputation and people are unfortunately still falling for it .

Hi Chris,
And did he?

 

[Chris D]

I’m not entirely sure whether he saw my comment or not tbh but he found his way to us anyway. He posted in Pre-sales yesterday.
