Definitely no smileys - can you imagine what Miiru's posts would look like if you let her use those?  You wouldn't be able to see the text for the graphics!  hehehe.

Really, it's a foofy graphical thing that just clutters up other forums and annoys me.  The text variety is much less intrusive.

What's wrong with what we have?


Sure a few added features would be cool, but many of us seem to agree that we want smarch to remain smarchy. Is there some serious issue/reason why we have to get a new system? A few add-ons or upgrades might be all we need to keep us happy, unless of course there's some reason why we have to get rid of what we have.

I don't mind changing but I'm firmly in the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' camp.

The features that most people are mentioning seem to be things that Guthwulf's board has, surely ours could be amended to add those features?

Or did I really miss something? Was there a big reason why we have to ditch this system?

I don't see a good reason to upgrade feature wise, either. The only big problem with this board is it's stability.

At the current level of activity, that doesn't seem to be a problem. When the Smarch books are released, a lot more people might come here to visit this site though.

And we'd better have a more stable board by then...

stable??

Hey! That looks like fun!

*flees and screams, too*

Weeeee!

p.s. My thinking on the possibility of a board upgrade is. . .I think I'd like it the same, but different, if you know what I mean? teeheeeeeee!

or screaming at fleas, which is entirely futile.

....what was this thread about, originally? *g*

I *think* YabbSE would be more stable than XMB for large amounts of users, its boards seem to load up very quickly and supposedly use less bandwdith than other php/mysql solution s and vertainly cgi ones.  It is free to boot.

I went with XMB due to the minimalist feel of it and the fact that it was, at least to me, more flexible than phpBB.  It is used on some fairly major boards, but my application for it will (hopefully) not be as popular as this board or as resource heavy.  It does have it's flaws though there are hacks/mods to overcome them.

I really would recommend yabbSE over phpBB and invision.  If you want any help with the templates etc I'd be willing to pitch in.

A bit on the late side, but I agree. No evil images. Being a global moderator on a 700-members community, I can safely say, images... are... hell...

:)

And yes, I'd agree to no graphics smileys, too, I like the text ones best anyway. ^_^

Another no-graphics vote here.
