Forum Upgrade
Forum Upgrade
The forum will be getting a much needed upgrade, hopefully by the end of the month.
Currently looking at which forum software to use, and the contenders are vBulletin and Ipboard.
Anyone have any other ideas or Opinions?
Cheers,
Mike.

agree with the fact on ease of use as far as front end is concerned.
behind the scenes there are a few niggles , one of the main ones that happens from time to time is that people get randomly locked out for no reason, it's all very well when it happens to a regular poster who knows who to contact to get back in but i'm thinking that we may have lost loads of posters over the years like this.
we also have no report post button this would be a welcome addition as well as the other mod tools that are available.
the chat box feature has been discussed before and many were in favour.
i voted vbulletin.

also ,,,,,,,,,, i think the new forum will be able to give us mods some new powers.
with the power to direct ban ,,,,,,,,, without us having to run to mike for every decision .
dont worry though ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the power will never be used willy nilly ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, with at least 3 mods having to be in agreement before any action is taken .
banning is a final resort.

no ,,,,,,,,,, not currently ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, nobody is
theres calm in the waters at the mo.
the thing is ,,,,,,,,,,,, we want people to be totally without fear of expression ,,,,,,,,,, and i think i speak for all the mods when i say were advocates of free speach.
it only gets nauseous when pointless insults and threats are made .
even then we let it slide to an extent ,,,,,,,,,,,, hoping first that the parties involved can sort it out themselves .
but when it carries on relentless ,,,,,,,,, or is deemed too threatening ,,,,,,,,, we have to step in for the overall harmony and well being of the site.
you mog ,,,,,,,, bite at even the slightest provocation or jib ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, try to fight with a battle of wits and clever comebacks ,,,,,,,,, try to turn it into fun ,,,,,,,,,,,
