Welcome to my new forum! I've recently discovered this great service!! This forum is so much better than the last one that I had to use it! It's better in every aspect! Only drawback is that it displays ads. I hope you like it! Please post your comments! Michael

Hey Mike! This is wicked!! =) Wow! Spinal can kiss his forum goodbye! Seriously; I really like this forum-service. In the short period I studied it, it seems even more userfriendly than Spinal's forum was. Thanks so much for all your effort Mike! ;D sAner

Thanks Pieter and Leigh, I hope that all the others will join us soon! I don't understand why Spinal hasn't appeared yet (in either of the two forums I've created). Spinal's forum still has some of the best threads ever made in a similar forum and it would be nice if we'll be able to browse it in the future. The forum you're currently using is probably the best forum you can get for free. I searched a lot and I think this one's is excellent! It has a lot of options, no restrictions on the number of messages (the other forum has a restriction of 250 messages!), no restrictions on how many categories or boards you can create whatsoever!! Only drawback is the ads (but this can be tolerated, after all the ads are the reason we can use this forum) and that the server that hosts this forum seems to get overloaded often. Well, I guess nothing is perfect! Michael

Hey Micheal, I like the old forum better. I tried logining in before and I couldnt get in because I didnt capitalize my first letter!(How stupid is this service) Anyway the other forum was easier to see and read. I don't like change so much... P.S. I want a crystal screen!!!!!

Matt, the old forum has one restriction that renders it unusable in the long run: the number of messages any time in the forum can't exceed 250 ! That means that nice threads will be lost after a while since old messages are erased automatically to leave room for the new ones.
It was nice, but this is a lot better. And you'll soon understand why. Regarding the login name, all similar services have case sensitive login procedures and this forum is no exception. You can create a new profile if you like and use "southbomb" as your username. If you do it, let me know so I can erase the old one..
Michael

Southbomb, Not only the restriction of 250 messages made the old forum worse than this but (next to the looks of this forum which are obviously way better) also the fact guests can't post is a very good service. I mean, my tag/handle will only appear when I used my password. That means I am the only one who is able to post under the name sAner. In the old forum guests were able to abuse other people's names and ruin their reputation. On top of all advantages I just named (and these are a but a few), is the advantage of this forum keeping track of the number of posts a member made, naming the last replyer on a post and the date of reply, etc. I really hope you will see that this forum is a big step forward! Imho this forum is absolutely great and I don't think there is any better to find for free. I am sure you will agree with me in the long run!! See you Southbomb! sAner Ps-I forgot one of the best things about this forum; it's possible to modify one of your own posts. It really irritated me that this was impossible in the old forum.

I'm all in favour of this forum ...the adverts are a very small price to pay for somewhere to chat for free. Thanks again Michael for the time and effort you've done for setting this whole thing up QJ
