Re: new forum, what happened? make a plan?

I think that comparing the new forum to other forum software, such as SMF or 
phpBB - well, there's really no comparison.  Those are fully featured forum 
wares which have been developed over many, many years, and are quite 
sophisticated.  They provide every feature which anyone wanting to run a forum 
might ever want or need.  (with emphasis on "might ever")

But do we really need every feature?  If we look the history of the old forum 
and at only the features which members actually use, and depend on day to day, 
the "new" forum has all those features.  (as much as the 3 of us have been able 
to remember).  I don't think our community needs all of them - at least we never 
have needed them yet.

I don't see any reason not to give the new forum a try.  If after some time (5 
days or 5 years), we realize there's a need for some new feature, and for some 
reason it can't be added, all those sophisticated wares will still be available 
for us.  We can always switch over to one of them.

Well anyway, that's my perspective.

Your loaded criticism is just wrong. The forum is serious, a fine
alternative and a proper forum. It's current state is good, but not
perfect.

I have checked it's design and functionality with multiple normal
people. None have had any issues. Remaining issues are so many levels
deep that I'm confident we'll be able to prioritise these paper-cuts
with more users using the site.
