hope they don't fusk it up too much

if it ends up looking anything like mpora.com i'll be v sad

despite grumpf's protestations i thought that was one of the better forums in terms of use

in terms of it being chatty and being able to see the threads and the history quickly, the boards one is the best i've seen. It must be the mags biggest asset at the minute. Am sure they'll do everything to keep it safe. All the history, that's a lot of content that they got for 'free'.

Me too. It is simple and clean (unlike this one which is far too heavy and needs pruning down). Starboard used to have a very lively forum until the screwed it up and made it complicated. They did improve it but it never recovered.

I am sure our stubborn streak as a group will complain about whatever they do but remain anyway.

Juat imagine how upset basher will be if his 20k+ post count is reset

loads of the factory sites just link to the mpora forum. for me, that's the risk here as I don't really like it that much, but it seems that's the lazy way to do it.
