Do you prefer this forum or the old forum? Vote here!

personally, and not just because i made this forum, i like this one better.
1. it loads faster, which is a big plus for me since i'm on dialup connection.
2. it has better options and it's more organized!

post your reasons why!

I have to live with, so I think my voting would be rather bias... :mellow:

How safe do you think this forum is from going down like the old (old new) did? That would be a quite important point for me, I think.

The old one wasn't all that old :dry:

Actually, the value of any forum is FB posting all this info about ships etc. :wub:

I like this one better, and also the fact that this site is protected better than the one Stard did.

I think I would prefer this one, as it would be easy to recover even if it should happen to go down, and I think it's better that FB has designed it and understands it, rather than Stard, who's no longer a member and wasn't a senior even when he was a member. The "old new" forum was a pain to administrate some times, as all the seniors basically had to search through the Admin Panel to find the one particular mechanism we needed.

this one, it's much easier to manage, almost a breeze :wub:

...except that my vote was stolen :yarr:

Admin Number of posts : 230 Registration date : 2008-11-23

...and my post count is lower than the amount of posts I made on this page alone

I also voted yes, but my vote was deleted.

I think in this case I'll make an Executive Decision here. ;) Let's keep this one...........:P

I agree with Phil; let's keep this one. Too bad that Stard thus wasted a fair bit of his time when making the old forum, but when we can't trust it...

James, I think that your post count doesn't increase when you're double-posting. ;-P

Number of posts : 102 Registration date : 2008-11-22

Ah, right. FB, I think you need to allow for post editing; otherwise you'll get a lot of double-posting.

If my theory is correct, my post count should remain at 7 when I post this. :ninja:

Wha? It didn't. :o Then I don't know why the forum is ignoring you, James.

The forum is like Joe when he does sibling rivalry... biased away from James :lol:

you guys are awesome!

It has problems which bug the hell out of me (such as more than half the time when I load a subforum, there's an entire page gap between the 'New Topic' button and the actual threads) and a few small inconviences/bugs (post count).

Also recall hearing Zek complain about it logging out or something while you're typing a long post, and I can see that I would absolutely hate that. If I lose a long bit of something that I've typed out, I don't usually bother re-typing it -_-

Overall, it's the only one we have right now, so it doesn't particularly matter anyway :P And if the bugs can/are worked out then it'll be pretty good ^_^

I'm just curious. Why did we ever create a new forum? The first forum was working great(I believe always did for me), and then all of a sudden Stard makes a new one. This results in ton's of info being transferred, and sadly that forum got gangbanged, and now we are here, but Overall it looks nice, and it handles well for me :D.

the first one was a very old and we needed an update

i think this one is hard to use compared to phpbb forums....

... it is phpbb 3, not the same format as phpbb 2 of what everyone is use to

I think those were Ads that were being blocked by either the forum or your browser.

When you log in and check the box to "Keep Me Logged In", it usually doesn't boot you. It booted Zek all the time though.
