Happy One Year Anniversary to this Christian Forum and thank you to all who have participated!

Here is the site history from the FAQs:
In March 2015, Romanos, who had created and owned other forums in various formats, decided to start a new endeavor using vBulletin 4.2.2. He was approached by Lämmchen, who was in search of a new home forum, and asked if he would consider building a Christian forum. Romanos and Lämmchen had known each other on other forums, and even though this was no small task, it seemed like a challenging proposition.

Romanos needed a team to help not only with the start up but to follow through as the site grew. He contacted an old acquaintance, GenesisGirl who had strong organizational skills as well as site leadership experience. She agreed to assist even though her time was limited due to outside factors.

From the vBulletin site, Romanos contacted MarkFL who was well known for his expert vBulletin knowledge and creation of modifications. Mark agreed and immediately began improvements on the site, tweaking and fixing as needed.

This is the initial team that Romanos entrusted to build his new Christian forum.

Christianity Haven was opened to the public June, 2015.

Why did you choose vBulletin 4 instead of 5? :|

Vbulletin5 had a lot of glitches and wasn't as stable as 4 from what I was told.

The site will be turning 4 this summer!

I definitely agree with that bit about vBulletin.

It's awesome that Christianity Haven has been around for so long!

vBulletin 5 was an absolute mess and I always did enjoy vBulletin because of how powerful it came out of the box, my biggest gripe is how clunky 5 seems to be.

I've never worked with vBulletin, so I wouldn't know, but I was under the impression that version 4 has been discontinued, which leaves it vulnerable because of the lack of updates. Also, I'm a member of a few forums that use vBulletin 5 and the user interface seems aesthetically-pleasing. I don't know about the administrative side of things though. I've administrated forums in the past, but they ran on other scripts.
