Hello! Thanks for all of the hard work that surely went into our new home on the web. I greatly appreciate it.
Thanks again,
Chris
Looks good so far.
But, am I to guess by the name that we're giving the MN-12 stuff the boot? Not that I have a problem with that.. (I mean, I have no problems with MN-12s.. but I'd rather have my Fox) just wondering.
Not at all. In fact, if you look at the name of the old board, it was also called the Fox T-Bird/Cougar message board. We've always been fox-focused, but anyone is welcome. The MN12 guys have their own messageboards anyway - the TCCOA and SCCOA boards are pretty much MN12 exclusive
good job guys, glad to see people trying to keep this community alive
Thanks Guys. I appreciate it as well.
Thanks to Sam and Eric for making the POP UP FREE message board that will actually load in under an hour on my pc (unlike ezboard. :mad: )
This makes coming here SO much better.
*Gasp* a New Posts button? File attachment options? A working search feature?! What ever will I do?!
Wo0o0oo0o0o0o!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEW BOARD.... so fast and efficiant.
Cool, It's gonna take some getting use to start visting this board than the old one =)
this is gonna be great. thank you to all. this is a good move i think
Erik
exactly my thoughts. It'll be so much better though.
Looking great guys :D
Very nice, looks real good. Thanks guys for all your hard work!!! :D
i'm here :p
everyone ALL SET?? :p
So when is the old board officially going down?
Good Job Guys.. I like it alot
OOO It feels like the Corral and all the other UBB sites, thanks so much for your hard work!
ditto
---whats up with this 10 character min limit in order to post a reply
The official move date is now. Everyone should join the new board and start posting here instead of there, because there will soon fall into obscurity. I've talked to Eric about discouraging people from posting there and he's gonna see what he can do (perhaps lock threads, delete 'em, etc, depending on what EZBoard will let him do with his admin powers).
Scott: I'll look into that. As this place is shiny and new we'll have some teething pains, I'm sure, but as problems are found they'll be fixed ASAP. F'rinstance, this morning I fixed the avatar and cutom title problem so now y'all can customize things a bit.
*EDIT* Fixed. The minimum character count is now one. Also, the "Quick Reply" box is now automatically enabled. Slowly but surely i'm getting the hang of this...
i think you guys are doing a dam good job :)
"ditto" with five exclamation points or periods would've worked..
:p
A little to get used to for alot better board seems like a fair deal to me! The upload feature is awesome and overall it seems much more user friendly.
Thanks
Scott
:D
Thanks for all your work!
Yea, you guy's are doing a great job. Keep it up! :)
So long EZBoard!!!
Thunderchicken- Are you the mod on this new board? After all your hard work, I think you deserve the title.
BTW - Since the community chest is gone, and we previously had to donate to pay the ransom to EZboard, are you going to collect to recoup the costs of starting and maintaining the site?
I'm an administrator, as is Eric. The board is all paid for, and I wasn't planning on shmoozing for donations, but if'n you all want to donate I wouldn't turn it down. I'll set up a PayPal account specifically for that purpose if'n anyone wants to donate (but I repeat, nobody is obligated to!)...
It's good that no one has to bring knee pads and Chap-Stik to keep this place running better than the slEZboard did. :D
Looking good and like my old girlfriends....very fast.
PeAcE
Wicked job, Carmen. This place is going to be my new home online. :D
I'll proceed to remove the old board from my bookmarks.
And hey, a propper URL. W00T!
just wanted to take a sec and say thank you!
Thanks to all who made it possible to escape the EZBoard! Looking good & happy to be here!!
I too want to say thank you... New board is off to a great start.. :)
Woo Hoo I can't resist this one.. :hick:
Scott how could that be a problem for you??? Most of your posts are at least 3-4 paragraphs long... :evilgrin:
:flame:
i just cooked your bird,,ooooppppssss :headbang: :flip:
Yes, the new board seems to be humming along nicely, teething problems and all. Now if only we could get people to stop posting on the other forum and move over here we'd be all set. So far less than a hundred people have made the move (although I knew there were nowhere near 2100 active members of the old board...)
I think people are still joining the old board :( . I did my best tonight to spread the word about the new board, but It would be much easier if the forums were locked down and the announcement was bigger. I'll still stop over there and let people know. You and Eric been doing a great job btw :bowdown:
the websites are still linking to the old forum...its link should be removed completely
Yes the board looks great. Thank y'all for your selfless work in getting it up and running. :hick: <== That's hilarious. I actually know some people that look like that.

Don't think I ever saw that many people on at one time over at the old board. Maybe half of that.
Location Western North Carolina.... Well that explains that... :hick:
True, although I bet vbulletin reports active users differently than ezboard. There's a thread about unread posts being marked as read and the value to change for those unread posts to remain unread for longer. It also affects how long other people see you as online. By default, people will see you as "online" up to 15 minutes after you loaded a page. This value can be changed easily and really messes up the "currently active users" report.
On a side note, the other board was running quite slow earlier today, both from home and at the college. The server this one runs on seems a bit more reliable. Pretty much everything about the move is better.
great job guys! looks great! thanx!
Oh, really? Try going back today. THE POP-UPS HAVE STARTED!!!!! :yuck:
I knew I should have worked faster to get all the forums saved. It's going to take forever to get the last bunch of pages. :shoothead
