i would not have backed rami's offer if i did not think he would keep things the way they are.

those who protect feel threatened in some way. this was only a genuine offer to help preserve the board - my main motive as stated numerous times in this thread.

if tommy can provide a medium though which we keep our board - then i thank him. just dont make the TI forum out to be some evil incarnation of this board...

cheers

Yes. I know. But eventually the users blend when the forums are on the same site and the pressure of unification gets bigger.

Radio stream, file hosting, endless traffic...

I said earlier that I don't have anything against the TI forum. All I just said that two almost identical forums under a same roof could eventually lead to a unification process, which would change thinds a lot. It's like moving to a big city from a small town.

But think of it: A links to two almost same forums. New people probably sing in to both of the forums and eventually majority of the double users get tired of bouncing between the forums and start to demand an unification. I don't say it will happen, but it could happen. Probably in the far future, but still the danger exists and I don't want to lose this board.

no probs at all juho, and i understand your points.

like i said - if tommy can host the board with no change - it is a very generous offer.

nice to see you have started to reads my posts

cheers

I am glad that TimmyS is able to host this board and with some new features. That's really cool!

I am sorry i haven't really replied to this thread. Ive been really busy lately and i will be for some time forward aswell.

What is the feeling on changing from phpbb to vbulletin?

The db should be able to be converted without a problem.

Vbulletin? What's that?

Edit: Googled... Seems ok.

btw. what sort of skin are we looking for the forum when it`s on vb?

A good selection is at:

http://www.extremepixels.com/skins_vb.php

I thought oivar may suit Unofficial Access Virus forum.

http://www.extremepixels.com/forum/index.php?styleid=52

I know the appearance means alot to some people. Whats everybody`s opinions?

Juho L · #78 05.05.2005, 08:51 PM

I want a clear and clean appearance. Nothing too fancy and graphic-drenched.

TommyS · #79 05.05.2005, 09:03 PM

same here. a simple layout lets the board function alot better

DIGITAL SCREAMS · #80 05.05.2005, 09:10 PM

Looks great TommyS. I think something simple would be cool and probably make the server run faster?

Also.....will you have the capability to not crop topics? Im hoping that if you do transplant our forum over to another host...then we can keep all posts and build a better knowledge base for the years to come.

Cheers man for seriously considering to save our forum
