Sorry to post a new topic here but this board is wack. LOL. All the replies to saint's message combined with the replies to my message below and makes for a very confusing topic. So, I thought I'd post a new topic so as to not make it even more confusing.
I want to thank everyone for their comments. I've never doubted the civility of the people on this board and I really appreciate all the suggestions.
One of the reasons I put a board on my site is the very problems we are experiencing now. This board was great when it was smaller. I joined it 2 years ago and it doesn't seem there were near the numbers there are now. The problem with the current system is a new post gets about 1 or 2 days of exposure no matter how many responses while it keeps moving down the line.
I created a board because there have been a lot of complaints about the current software on this board. I thought I'd offer something better. I'd love saint just switch this board software over to something like UBB or vBulletin. The last thing I want to do is divide the community.
I think this site needs new board software and I don't buy the argument that says otherwise. The other style boards are extremely easy to use and can allow anonymous posting. The new software could leave the board open to all of those who want to post without registering, while also letting people register. Registering is optional, but would allow one see number of posts, keep profiles, do searches, keep other people from using that name, and getting cool titles under your name like "Senior BYOAC'er."
I'm going to keep in close contact with saint about some ideas. Later guys.
