In Reply to: DESPERATE request for the YABB board.. posted by Tony C on January 24, 2002 at 20:51:16:
No offense tony c but that actually looks fine to me. Now the stupid banners a few of em have at the bottom of their posts is kind of annoying, but everything else looks cool. It's just a nice graphic for each user and a link if they want it. Where's the tackiness? Where's all of that flashy stuff you were talking about? Maybe you linked to the wrong board for your example.
: Saint, some advice for the new board... *PLEASE* be judicious in what YABB posting features you allow. All the flashy schnazzy features can really become annoying..
: I'm all about a nice compact avatar or something, but some of these BBSes become twenty pages of peoples' signatures with graphics, Flash stuff, etc. and no content...
: The current WWWboard is kinda stone-age, but the other extreme makes things REALLY disgustingly tacky. I hope that YABB can disable a lot of the code things which people abuse and pollute BBSes with. For a bit of an example of what I mean, check the attached link... All the taglines and graphical sig's and crap really make a mess.
