Ever think of getting new forums?

FreeAGENT · Post by **FreeAGENT** » Fri Sep 09, 2005 3:35 pm

I'm not one to complain but I was just curious as to if the administrators have ever discussed anything along the lines of a new forum server. This server is tattered and sloppy, and if you were to find sleek, well designed forums, I'm sure this would become a more active community. Do it for us, the Minnesota HS Hockey fans.

Lee, Not sure what freeagent means about the forum server but maybe he's looking for a little more diversity ....maybe you could start a (sorry bout this)<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> .......but possibly<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> ......... a bowling forum<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> (see 10millionth visit) Edited by: <A HREF=http://p074.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... lcons30</A> at: 9/9/05 9:07 pm

You seem to be missing my point, I was suggesting getting rid of EZboard. If there have been 10 million visitors, how about an upgrade. vBulletin?

FA, The put down was unwarranted, we don't need the negativity. To answer your question: Yes, it has been considered. Mostly due to the pop-ups or fees rather than any perceived technical superiority of vBulletin or phpBB. To date, I have decided against it.

My intentions weren't to put down anyone, only to suggest something. I appreciate the clarification. Edited by: <A HREF=http://p074.ezboard.com/bmnhs.showUserP ... eeAGENT</A> at: 9/10/05 11:51 am

The put down I was referring to was your "thick skull" reply to another poster (which has since been edited).

Tell ya the truth, I kinda like the basic easy to navigate forums. I do wish they had the "go to the last unread post" button and got rid of the "post flooding", but overall I like them a lot.

I like the way it is set up right now also. If there were two things to change,one would be to possibly to either get rid of some of the state forums that nobody really goes too (ie Wyoming), or move those type of states all into an other state category. The big ones, like Michigan and Massachusetts, are fine, but smaller ones like Wyoming, Utah, and Arizona don't get much action, if any. I would prefer my 2nd option, because then you can still talk Utah HS hockey, but I'm thinking most people on here don't know too much abuot Utah hockey. The other would be getting rid of the poll forum and just be able to post a poll on any page. The majority of the people don't go to the poll forum very often- they usually are at the main forum or the Cafe. And I remember when I did my Ugliest Athlete poll, I wanted to put it in the Cafe, but couldn't so I put it on the poll forum, where it looked out of place. It was something that should have been in the Cafe. But those would be the only thing that I would look at. Otherwise, Mitch and Lee, I think you are doing a great job on the site, and I don't think we need to change the forum. ------------------- Who is the orca? Who is the octopus? I AM THE WALRUS!

I will open the poll function in the cafe. The reason it is disabled in the MN forum is that the poll topics were all moving to the top of the board anytime anyone voted, even if they did not post any comment. If that "feature" is ever fixed I will reconsider enabling polls in the MN Forum. PS The Wyoming Forum has Polls!<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/eek.gif ALT=":eek">

Mitch, the Quick Links near the top were a great idea. It makes it a breeze to quickly change forums. vBulletin? First, the software isn't free. True, it's cheaper than Gold Community, but it isn't server based. You need to also find a server to run the software on. My account with Powweb.com could handle it (I believe), but for a number of reasons, mostly personal, I prefer to not do that. I think what we have here is good enough. Even better if we can raise the jack to keep Gold Community. A quick plug; did you know that visits (which is what determines the Gold Community cost) don't count when an EZ Supporter visits our Board? I have EZ Supporter, and it's worth it. For just over a dollar a month, I can go to any community in the EZ system and don't have to endure the pop-up ads. While it's true that we don't have pop-ups since we're Gold here, it only applies to this Board. Other Boards one might wish to visit (and there are some pretty neat boards out there besides ours) may or may not be Gold, so hello to pop-ups on those Boards, unless you're a Supporter. I recommend this to everyone. C'mon, we're talking about one less cup of coffee a month. Ten less miles of driving. Not even one box of popcorn at tDECC.

I like falcon30's idea of a bowling forum. There are a lot of bowlers out there who have a lot to say. Lets let em know who we are.

How about an EZSupporter only forum? Me & Lee would have some great convos I'm sure... <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/laugh.gif ALT=":lol"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/glasses.gif ALT="8)"> Elk River AA State Champions- 2001 Boys & 2004 Girls

Packerboy I suppose you already got your tickets to the PBA Midwest Regionals Senior Open at Dale's Weston Lanes in beautiful Weston Wi.!!!!!<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> On a sad note, longtime PBA announcer Chris Schenkel passed away. There will be a moment of silence before the beginning of Monday nite bowling leagues across the country. <img src="http://www.leggnet.com/images/pba/pba3a.jpg" style="border:0;"/>

Well of course I'll be there. Chris Schenkel is one of the first broadcasters I can remember. He will be missed. Say, ah , where do you stay in Weston , WI?
