I have been contacted by a couple of people over the years who have sent me to Forums that they like. I never actually found one I liked though (from an Administrator's position). The old program that we used was not so flexible, and I was ready for a change. I've been looking for awhile, and this site presented itself in the strangest of ways. When I went to the "alternate" No Casino Site nocasinogettysburg.proboards.com/index.cgi , I actually liked the general look and feel of it. The content sucked, of course ;D , but the Forum appearance seemed kinda nice. I played with it a bit, and it seems pretty straightforward, and easy to adapt to. There are a few annoying items, such as Forum Titles, but I'll see if they can be worked out as I get used to this format. The funny thing is how I came about to do this today. I got a message from the No Casino in Gettysburg Administrator that said they were closing shop I went to the ProBoard link, and signed BoroughVENT up. Like the Phoenix rising out of their flames! It says that the first two weeks are "ad-free", which means that it will look like the No Casino site in two weeks, unless we want to PAY to have it banner-free. We'll see how that works out

So, my first thought of WTF is now

If any of you guys are Green/Red Color blind, this may be a pain in the ass. But so was making the color scheme!

Just glad I only have to register once. I had to go down three screens to find the year of my birth, and only two selections for gender. Registration needs a little work

Gene, Good move, the proboards are easily learned and from a admin perspective, very easy to use.
I am not returning to the site, but I thought I would register just in case down the road I wish to express an opinion, I would have the oportunity.
Hello to my old chat buddies and even to my not so fan favorites, hope all is well with the group of you.

I've made it not such a big deal. I've been on proboards before on a fire website and they moved away from it cause it couldn't handle it but they had 10x more people on it then here maybe that was the problem.

Well, signing up to something involving change is always a pain in the backside, but it is what it is. Looks like I'm still going to be around for awhile

is there a way to make a "personal quote" at the bottom of each post like on the old format?

Hey Inspector, glad to see you here, even if you didn't post. Hey, wait a minute... if you didn't post, then how... Never mind, too much thinking on a Tuesday/Monday.
