I was/am conor-mr2 from boards but I took the opportunity to swipe my actual name as I saw it was free. Whoever had this username on boards looks like they were last active in 2011. I only had 642 odd posts in my 19 years there. So more of a reader than a contributor. Very sad to see the recent mess of an upgrade. Its a real lesson in how not to do an upgrade. Seems like there was no test/customer experience environment or if there was im not quite sure who tested it in advance.

Either way I still feel theres a need for a forum based approach and quite frankly if something aint broke....

If it was a case that their current platform (vbulletin??) was no longer supported/end of life then why not invest the time in migrating across to a well established forum platform. I mean this is phpBB and is perfectly good.

Instead they are left with a cluster f*ck.

Best of luck with this venture
