If you want a dial up connection then use this. It loads iBotModz in around 32 seconds. It slows down your internet so don't use it. HOWEVER on the plus side it does work.
IPB 3 has the features of a social networking site which is good for a site like this. IPB 2 is for sites that like to just have a forum. IPB 3 has turned into a new forum version of MySpace and Facebook. I love that. So IPB 3 all the way.
Ok I came down to these three conclusions. Either you weren't connection host, you weren't playing on local, or the program you used didn't mod it correctly.
