We're to feel the limitations of this forum software, and I'm wondering if the time has come to switch to a new forum software package. Here are the implications of the change:

1. All old posts would be lost

2. Everyone would have to reregister

And the benefits:

3. I would edit everyone's post count so that they keep their titles and post number.

4. The forum looks sorta cooler (though I've be editing colors and tweaking it to make it prettier): http://desertcolossus.com/forums/index.php

5. With the new software, I can put in a points sytem and shop, so you can buy stuff like in HA2.

6. It'd be so much easier to block spammers.

Anyways, please vote. This is nonbinding, but if the response is overwhelming, I will probably go ahead and do it.

Well I like the benefits but the layou \t we have is so much cooler... :'(

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Losing all our posts and such may not be necessary. Click!  ;D

Anyways, I don't know, Jack... I kinda like the whole integration into the site, but if the posts don't get lost I think we can live with it being on another page. A better layout could probably be made, anyways...

Sweet find KP, I'm bookmarking that.

I'd be fine with a change. Not like I care about my post count anyway, and registering takes about three minutes :D

Besides, it would be prettier.

Wait, I don't get it, Am I still going to be a lone Wolf thief? Do you know how many posting I had to do to get to this. Just Kidding, I don't mind, it is your forum after all.

Hi no Seijin

I like the new layout.  You're doing a good thing, Jack.  Way to go.

Its different, I'll get used to the change though.

It will be better! Im sure of it! Will it still be called and located at desertcolossus.com? Also, will we keep HA2, just on a different page? And furthermore, will the layout be cooler? I hope its not the one i posted in, that looked really plain to me.

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.

JDog

Wait, you mean the layout at your forum?

Nabooru

Are you hosted by a site, are there going to be ads?

JDog

You lost me. What are you saying?

Anju

I hope we don't lose our creatures and eggs. :'(

Nabooru

You can make a new sig. And I was asking if a site hosted him and if there were going to be ads.

Jack

No, it's still here at TDC. It's just a different program. Everything will be practically the same.
