Nope not at all, I had a very brief discussion with Karl the other day, when i needed something, and going from that, i believe totally the opposite.

Fair enough I understand anyone that is running the site want it to be good and yeah change is usually for the best but still there are some issues that I have listed above which I am sure would put people off right away.

What ever you say about change thats fine but also remember that the old fourm was popular and worked well for a reason... but nonetheless you guys are still providing a service so fair play to you.

ps wasn't referring to my tone was referring to Carbo being as arse licker..lol

irishmind69 - Why don't you PM me and simply list as many things as you want that you think could be better or even simply if it's stuff you think is shit for no reason other than you just think so, I really don't mind.

how is asking for a bit of patience, being an arse licker?

its a simple request.

by all means, give your opinions on what you think, but wait untill its fully set up and running properly.

We're new to this niche of forum and we're just looking to see what works and what doesn't. You'll probably see a lot of things changing and then some of those changes being removed.

We're here to enhance the community, not destroy it. We've took your feelings/suggestions on board and we're going to look into it.

We're not here to destroy the forum for personal profit, we took over the site to stop it from shutting down - which is what would of happened because Robbie couldn't afford the server bills. The difference between Robbie and ourselves is that we can afford the server bills and the site will be here for many more years.

We're expanding on the previous successes of the site and hopefully by expanding we will bring our own success.

If you have a grievance with what we are doing, just contact Dan or myself and we will listen to what you have to say. Slating us on an open forum isn't always the best way to get things changed. although we will listen to what you have to say; it still won't get you what you want.

I've been contacted by hundreds of members in the last two days and I have replied to each and everyone of them and sorted out any problems. That at least shows we are listening and trying to improve the site.

Again, if you have a problem or have an issue with another moderator or administrator please contact Dan or myself.

Oh and by the way, we are looking into changing the hide hack feature so you just click a "Thank You" button instead of posting.

We only introduced it so content wasn't leeched and the members hard word didn't go to waste.

[irishmind69]

Fair enough Karl, the continuation of the site is the most importnat thing and if thats sorted great... just a bit taken aback by the changes all of a sudden and dont want the site to loose the good parts that it had.

Good luck to you.

Thats a good idea as its a bit hectic trying to keep up with all the posts atm, and this makes trying to moderate a right bitch.

at the end of the day it's a messageboard so it's the members make the site what it is.

The only thing the new owners have done is give the members a better forum with more features.
