Well after years of using a homemade forum, we just couldn't take it anymore, so here is the brand spanking new board for you all to enjoy.
We haven't made it completely home yet, but we thought you would like it more the way it is than the slower old system.
Your old user names and passwords should work. If they don't, just pretend like you forgot your password and one that works will be sent to you.
We hope you enjoy the new forums. Comments and suggestions are encouraged.

Wheres the off-topic? Marker catagories? Might wanna add a B/S/T, that would be sweet. I like it though.
I really like the adding attachments feature. No more hosting :P
Wait, I lost my sig and avatar. Sigs no big deal, but I dont think I'll be able to find my avatar again. The guy punching the other guy.

I believe so, it took me a minute to figure out quotes though. Take a look for yourself. I'll miss those historic posts.

About the "pay out of my own pocket", I'm working on that donate button!! ;)
As for the "pro", I brought over the number of old posts and start date so you wouldn't feel all newbieish. I guess I have to raise the bar on post levels...

Yeah they will be still mods.... I'm sure by now they have figured out that there is a new board. Personally I like it much better than the old one. I got more topics up, but you guys could give me a hand by suggesting what more we need to put on this board... IE what more would you guys like to see added?

Oh my.
After a year or so of idle threats it has happened. New forums. I so loved our occational little glitches. :wub: :D
To tell you the truth I had given up hope. Good to see them. Great job gentlemen. I was just talking about the lack of change on this site with one of my local sites admins after their site gave me a virus or two. I will have to mention the change to them after when I see them tommorrow.
A automatic spam/flame and bad member filter would be nice. ;)
No rush on the return of mod powers, unless the masses become unruly and need some squelching. :angry: :P :D
(I love the return of the smilies. I missed them.)

It looks like BST hasn't been going in the right section, but that's it as far as I've noticed.
What I request is sub forums in off-topic, such as movies, music, tech, etc.
stealthyeliminator
05-07-2005, 02:54 AM
i dont think the sub forums in off topic would be as great as it sounds... its just too much catigorizing (sp?).

05-07-2005, 03:32 AM
ok lets say i open up a thread. and while im readin it, someone posts. is there any way that the post would show up without me having to refreash the page?

I would love to see all the old forums here. I miss the Barrels forum and General Gear Questions. Also, regional forums (CA, NW, South, East, etc...). I can't remember all the forums (maybe cuz i'm falling asleep right now), but IMO, none of the forums should be taken away....new ones should be added.
I'm also wondering about all the new mods (who are they?), and where some of the old ones are...like Dead Cheshire. He was my favorite...could answer all of my cocker questions. Another thing i'm wondering is the whole "forum is led by" thingy. Does that mean that those are the people that moderate those specific forums??? I'm just wondering because if that's the case, normal members (Dyedude to be specific) have moderating powers....it doesn't seem right to me.

I would like to respond to my own post. I'm reading that DyeDude is becoming a mod (much deserved might I add). I guess the switch hasn't officially been made. *Bows to Dyedude*...My apologies m'lord. =P

I personally like the new board, what is it that you don't like about it... other than the color and shell. Breeze is still doing the programming for the looks, but overall what about it is it that you don't like?

Hey PaintballinnTGP1608,
The old forums aren't gone. Once I get all this dang blue out of here, I'm going to open them up in read only and let people copy stuff from the old to the new. Hope this helps you out.

The "old forums" will only be availble for a limited engagement. I'm not going to leave them open forever, just long enough to pull the good stuff off, toast to the old days and move on.
