Don’t know Hindi? ;) The title means “Story of 25 Paise….”

I had 2, 25 paise coins in my bag for long time, today I decided to use them, first was the news stand person from where I buy news paper every morning, I gave him Rs. 2 coin, 50 Paise coin and 2, 25 paise coins (which makes Rs. 3), he refused to accept 25 paise coins, said “saab baad mein dena” (Sir, give it to me later), I got bit angry because he refused to accept valid Indian currency but did not say anything coz I know that person for long so thought let it be, will see next time…

Today while returning from office, I gave Auto rickshaw driver Rs. 10 note, he did not have 1 Re. change with him so asked me to check if I have change so that he can return back Rs. 2 coin… (Rs.9 rick. fare)

I had a 50 paise coin and gain 2, 25 paise coins were shouting in my bag, telling me, pick me, pick me….lol and I had to pick them….

I am using D-Link Wireless Router at home, it was disconnecting me from the net frequently. I guys on D Link India website for solution, they replied back in a day, I provided the necessary details to them (Firmware version, hardware version etc…), in 2 days I got new firmware version file in mail…

Upgraded the router…and everything started working fine :)

So one more good company with good customer support which I came across….

Finally I got rid of crappy Invision Power Board (IPB) from my tybcom forums, for long time I was thinking about buying vBulletin (VB) but was not able to decide upon it….

IPB costs around $65 a year and VB costs $85 a year, I have around 2500 members on my forums and if I convert from IPB to VB then I will loose the passwords, i.e. members will have to reset their passwords again….now that was the only factor which was keeping me with IPB….I was going to buy IPB only by I was feeling like kicking IPB and going for VB only because IPB is total copy of VB…they have ripped everything from VB…IPB took suggestions from public when it was free and suddenly one day they announced saying…now we are paid….and that was the worst thing which could happen…

So I purchased VB and then got decent skin for the same from VB Styles, very decent skin…but their customer support sucks big time..no one cares to reply…..

The admin panel of VB is simply cool…very user friendly and LOT of options….wannna try VB ? try the demo of admin panel here

So if you are deciding to go for a Paid Discussion forum then you should definitely go for vBulletin…coz it rocks…
