I don't really care, but I do have a problem with one thing. Dave, you get a cut of every hit to the site, right? I don't think I could support you being financially benefited and not Spence, even if it is inadverant. no ads on the board

The forum I want to move to is rated #1 forum out right now. Proboards is ranked #45. A lot of people have problems with the proboard servers not just us. I'm also not the only supporter of SMF forum which is identical to use as far as posting goes to proboards so the learning curve isn't too hard to pick up but there is so many more features and capabilities in addition to speed and efficiency. www.programsdb.com/scriptscategory/12/32/1/0.html

Dave, it's not ignorant. We've been on proboards for tons of real years and have an established message board for our league. I really like proboards and the way our board looks. I'm used to it, I'm comfortable with it, and I prefer it to the other message board. Lots of people feel this way, so why so passionate about switching?

You make me laugh all the time when you say lots of people. Mark and Dan are not lots of people. I've actually taken the time to im people and introduce them to the board and a lot of guys have signed up and really like it. Most of the opinions I get are if its faster lets do it. If you took the time to check out the board you'd see the interface is a cleaner crisper version of proboards so you don't lose the feel you've grown so accustomed to. I've read on many other websites, forums, and blogs that people were stubborn to make the switch because of the same feelings you express but are so glad they have. I wouldn't endorse this unless I thought it was great idea for the league.

One question: can you view most 100 recent posts on one page? Because it shows up as 10 for me right now with links to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th page, and I'd hate that. Just wondering.

I've read on many other websites, forums, and blogs that people were stubborn to make the switch because of the same feelings you express but are so glad they have. I wouldn't endorse this unless I thought it was great idea for the league. I have checked it out. I just like this board more. And I'm skeptical about the most recent posts section, and I'm worried it won't be good for activity at all. People who are less active will probably not check as much if it's a new site that they're not comfortable with. And the only reason I said lots of people is because if you read the thread, people voiced opposition. Spence did. Andy did. I don't want to lose the posts on this board because there are tons of great threads and there's history on here already. So why abandon it? We can't transfer posts or anything, which suck. Look, I won't be the voice of opposition on this. I just really don't think it's worth it at all. If everyone else does, fine, we'll move. That's why I put a poll up.

Everything in the interface is the same to post and to look its just faster and easier to get to in addition to having more functions and options. Say you have a car well this new forum is the same make and model but its the turbo edition. You turn the car on the same, lights, windshield wiper, radio the whole nine but the only difference is you have a few extra buttons and instead of the speedometer being at 120 its now at 180.
