The reason why RCU is a "custom software" is because the company that orginally put out the forum software went out of business. So it was up to the previous owners to do all upgrades and improvements themselves. And that's why it turned into such a customized piece of software. The funny thing is that Marc and Michael (previous owners) were planning on migrating the site to VBulletin themselves, but choose to sell the site instead. So we would have gone through all this nightmare regardless of who owned the business. The good thing is that IB has deeper pockets and is better situated to handle any problems that come up during the upgrade.
