NEW FORUM FORMAT

**Steve** · 03-26-2005, 08:16 PM

As you can all tell, we lost about 1 week's worth of messages due to a 1-time database glitch. We moved from an old-style forum to this full-featured forum, and not all of the new messages are on here. Sorry.

However, it was a one-time conversion that won't have to be repeated. We've got a community that keeps growing by 5-10% per week and we're getting a monster amount of site traffic. So, things are looking good!

Thanks for putting up with the board being mostly down for today. Everything is up and running and stable now!
:D

The new format looks 100% better. Is well worth the effort if you want my $.01 + $.01.

I like this message board forum a lot more. 100% behind the change even though all of my messages were deleted.

I love the new format. Much better than the old one.

What did the old format look like?

It was phpBB, which was a stand-alone message board with a custom website around it. This is an integrated website and message board all in one. It looked similar, but wasn't integrated together.
