Re: Tell me what you think "NEW"

Honestly I never really took issue with the original black background scheme. I mean for a free forum it's not the worst format in the world. If you feel like you can make some improvements Paul feel free but I would just suggest not doing something simply because people took shots at your forum set up. Make changes if its really what you just wanted to do, but don't do it for people who you will never appease and will criticize the site no matter what changes you make, know what I mean?

I have been working on a new forum that I feel has more of what we want in a forum

My favorite feature of all time has always been hitting the like button and showing props to that post with my name visible, this new forum has that feature..

Also, this forum has way more avenues for me to add and fix things.. It's time for an upgrade I think.

But,, I will leave it up to you guys, you're the reason why places like this exist, sooo should we leave the old dog forum for something new or stay here?

Also, if we choose to go to the new forum I will try my best to transfer over as much content as possible,, this can also be done by you if you want to create a new thread there by copying and pasting content from here.

So take a tour and register up to see if you like it.

If you were looking to going to a new forum, I wish you would have replied back to my original PM because I could have helped with this. I don't know what kind of time frame you are on but I could have hosted a forum for you and wrote a scraper to grab the content from this site to import it into another.

If you are interested and this doesn't have to be something that has to happen soon let me know.

I appreciate it man,, I like to dabble and learn things on my own. It's more of a hobby than anything and I just wanted to see if I could do it to be honest..

We don't have to move if the majority wants to hang here.. To be honest it's not what the forum looks like but who is on it and if it's getting the job down..

Plus, I really don't have a lot of time, just mainly on the weekends.. If you want to make one on your own go for it, I'm all for it.

Considering I started this little project on Saturday morning I think I did a pretty good job on it and figured out how to add like buttons and shit like that.. This forum didn't allow me to add cool shit like I did on the new fourm..

Do me a favor post on the forum since you registered and also give something a thumbs up.

What's the "Shout out as" thing about? There's like a portion where it looks like you type your post but then there's like a "shout out as" strip above that.

That's the quick chat box
