I'm not sure where to put this thread, but whatever... I just wanted to know what happened to the old forums

I think he said that the old site ate them all giving him no time to preserve their forumy goodness.
So we gotta start new.. blagh.

Iboards suddenly decided to close… probably something to do with aliens, or commando gorillas, I like this one better anyways.

Indeed. Iboardplus decided to pull the plug without so much as a warning. To make it worse, they didn't even put the old boards back up long enough to go back and get whatever information you needed from it. So I wasn't able to salvage any of those posts that I didn't have written down on my HD (like my #Kyoto TV guide that I was working on! That took hours to do and now it's gone for good!).
But I agree, this board is better. No insane popups, more options (without the rotating banners though) and it's just nicer.

I see... It's a shame the regulars of the old forum arn't here ...yet... (if they ever will). I mean, I only found out about this forum because I figured I should start browsing the BnG forums...

Yeah, I know. But if you think about it, how many people were truely active on the other board? Out of over 100 members, only 5 or so were active. So I doubt the other 95 of them even care that the board is gone. Besides, there's lots of ways to find the board again. Search engines My website B&G Forums I think I posted it in my LJ and UJ If they want to find us, they can. Plus there's always Pishi and the word of mouth on IRC.

No annoying popups. The only thing I miss is the rotating banners. That was one of the cool things about the other one. I had that script so that I could have as many banners as I wanted. That way people could submit their own and have it rotating with the rest. Can't do that here though..so I guess I'll change the banners whenever I get sick of seeing the old one.

LOL, a Puni Puni Poemy banner? That would probably scare people with the pure insanity!
