This change was done because we did not have another viable option. We either had to goto the VB version or lose over 3 months of data. I am trying my best here, and you are not looking at the finished project. There will be a better skin, better features and much mroe to come in the future.

I have recieved many messages cursing me out for this move. No one is forcing you to post here, and I don't like the foul language. If you are going to constantly critisize our job, then go somewhere else. I am very stressed right now and havn't slept for 36 hours, trying to get everything up and running. I'm losing money running this board. The last thing I need is for people cursing me out sayin I am a lousy admin.

I'm in agreement with Brian. This wasn't a planned change, but now all we can do is accept it and move on. All the complaining won't change whats happened, so live with it. It will take some getting used to, but this is a hell of a lot better than we had in the past when there was no forum at all.

Brian i see no reason as to why not just disable posting for a few days for people who are normal users. Let onyl admisn and mods post they cn update us and we can view the forum and thread but not post. Would stop he whole burn them from head to toe flaming.

It would only cause "censorship trolls" to appear afterwards....at least we still have the community. If people cant post, they may not come back.

As I have posted in other threads, I appreciate what you are doing.

Peerzy has a good idea :01: Just would give Brian and Krohn some time to think, it would keep us informed and there would be no flmaing.

im not trolling, i'm trying to express my opinions by saying that i don't like the skin. Sure I cant wait for all the features and new skin to arrive, but could you not just close the board down and get stuck in to applying these? instead of us all hanging around asking when it will all be done?


btw, quick reply rules B)

I think it all went down hill once Kazaa Lite K++ fell under and the creator, VB left. Just a little history lesson for some of you. And it's not just these admins fault.

If you'll read down a few topics, I'm sure you'll figure it out;)

All I am saying is that those of you who are complaining in just about every thread in this folder is not helping the matter. I am extremely busy trying to get everything up and running. Having to Sort through dozens of complaints from basically 4 or 5 people to find problems that members are having is not making my life any easier. Cursing at me in posts because you don't like the way the forum looks is also not going to do much to help out.

Quit complaining about the number of members here. The dropoff was due to the redirection problem that 7th never told me about. Martin and I will try our best to get this forum back to where it was a few months ago, and I am confident we can manage atleast that much.

For now, please sit back and relax. Don't jump down my throat every chance you get. If you are only going to stay here to complain then we don't want you here at all.

Why should we shut down the board just because the Skin doesnt
look OK for some folks eyes?

Sounds a bit silly to me.

Sure, there was ppl who didnt like the skin on the old board too, me for example,
I thought it was way too bright, but you didnt see me wanting to
shut down the board because of it.

Now, we got VBulleting up'n'runnin', things are improving as we post,
feedback is also wanted but the way some folks does it, especially when
"critisizing" the new stuff could be done with a tad better manners, so to speak.

even if the change was unexpected, you coulda expected people to give their opinions. And you could know for sure, they wouldn't all be possitive.

Brian for you and Krohn this board could be a place to make money, but for the members this was/is a place they liked, loved, hated and what more...
A lot came here before you even knew this place excisted. There are even people that lived their virtual life on this forum, hell they lived their live here :smoke: :devil:

Let them moan, it's not against you personal. You should be happy even with the heavy reactions, because it's that they care about this place.
And after all what is this forum without people that like to come here and care for this place :hug:

And in the end that's what make your counter goes beserk :beer:

one complaint. I cant use my old avatars without resizing them as the default size is too small. Ne chance of adding this to the list of things to be changed.
Loading times seems a bit quicker than earlier.
Skin aint too bad, just a fucking huge shock really
