About the New Forums

I never really liked the old forums.

Usage was never very high compared to the article comments.
Because it was a common bit of software (YABB) I constantly had a lot of spammers trying to get in
The topics and lists where too rigid.

So I have written something of my own that is far less structured. I have attempted to migrate all the user accounts, but if you had a wonky username or email address, I probably left you out and you will have to re-register.

Let me know what you think.

Re: About the New Forums

Oh, there are two things I forgot to mention:

you should click 'reply' to respond to a specific message or else it might get time sorted away from the original comment...
there are pages for when the message list get's long... it is going to be a work in progress to see what works best for how many on a page.
