I just hope it'll be something similar to what we have now.
It's weird to think of, but something too drastically different could potentially drive away new players who were just getting used to finding things as they're currently set up.
And for my own convenience...something that has a 'Blue Solution-esque' color scheme would be preferable, it's so much nicer to my eyes..

The homey feeling is the main reason we haven't changed.

Though, I think we should see if we are even getting a new forum first. What about transferring threads and boards over? Would this forum stay up as an archive?
Almost everything would come over. I've done test imports on SMF, phpBB and myBB.

What's wrong with this one? Can't we keep it the way it is now?
Now, just keep all current forum data and the Deep Blue skin somehow and indeed implement the Karma system.

I'd like better mobile support, better performance as this forum really struggles under load and better antispam support.

' Wrote:It has to be fast at least. SMF if that and i think the new invision is too. Only new invision is also harder to check by phone. with iphone it works splendid and windows phone too (nokia lumia)
Btw fixed allready some template bugs now it should be ok.
No, the new invision supports mobile browsers and has its own forum layout specifically for them.
What if we do a kickstarter or funding call? If that fails, move onto free software? I'm sure some of us can drum up a buck or two, if everyone did that we'd have more than enough right?
Let the community vote for best software with cash in hand rather than free posts.
Think its up to us what we want and are willing to pay. Offcourse the new invision is also quite different but it depends what you want. I will leave it to the admins to decide. maybe even make a poll for what we as players want?

This is what I keep telling people. By upgrading to the new IPB you wont have the good old feeling of being on the same old forums. They are different, a lot different.

Cannon said that the current forum software is no longer supported, that isn't a good thing. Its a good idea to shift to a new architecture. Change isn't bad, especially if its a good thing.
