...you guys should really take a close look at this...it is much better in design and usage....

Joejoe, please make sure when you post something it isn\'t already said. We will use use new forum software in the future: phpBB3. The reason that we don\'t use this software now is that it isn\'t released yet.

xmb sucks, well its better than this... but overall there is no reason to change to xmb, if we are going to change to PHPbb3

I was wondering... What makes you think that\'s going to happen?

And what\'s wrong with this forum? You can make threads, no? You can reply to threads? Then what\'s the big deal?

Changing forums is a *VERY* big task since we\'d loose all the current threads ( unless there is a conversion script ).  What exactly is wrong with this one?

I think they want something that looks cooler, because they think that this is boring :rolleyes:

But really guys, this forum works and as Acraig said all the threads will be lost and we would have to start from the beginning again 8o

JosePhoenix posts in this thread (\'New Default skin\').

EDIT: I\'m sorry, I replied before I had read Jazeeras post.

In case you haven\'t realized it already, josePhoenix doesn\'t really have a say in all this. He\'s making a forum skin in his spare time, but noone ever asked him to. He\'s just doing it because he thinks this forum looks ugly. :)

So I guess I\'ll repeat my question anyway, just to keep things from repeating themselves (err...).

What makes you think that we\'ll be getting a new forum? And as Acraig and I also asked, what\'s wrong with this one?

- The search mechanism is bugged.
- The \'unread post\'-markings don\'t always work the way they should.
- This board IS ugly, no matter which style you use.
- Newer software is usually a better defense against hackers.


Who would mind the loss of all those duplicate topics? Personally I wouldn\'t mind that the threads of this board aren\'t copied to the next. Just keep the stickies.

I like this forum.  I feel comfortable with the layout and usage.  It would be a pity to lose everything... I like going back and reading the history of guilds :).

i dont see a problem with this one, everything works for me, and it\'s simple and easy to use... who cares if its in ugly blues... its not the looks that draw people here, no?

i dont think we do need to change and definitly not to XMB... whatever you do, NO...

so its 2005 and this board is from 2001-2002, that is no reason to go and start sugesting we need to change, there is a lot of old memories to behad here
