You were right Mike! I never Modderd before , so i have to figure some things out ;) Sorry!

That Chemicalfan is such a sexist. Just because she's a female doesn't mean she's rubbish Chemicalfan. You need to keep your misogynistic views to yourself. God damn it i'm starving, where's my dinner mum! :x

Let's see if I can sort of cross-post this message here and to the POLL topic.



My view: NEW BOARD



I don't understand this "hacking" idea at all. Sure if someone is able to compromise the server and take control of it then we would get to somewhere but that's a) hard and b) probably very illegal and c) would gather some attention (the wrong kind).



I think the "hacking" people are actually suggesting here is that we only need to gain access to the administrator account. Wrong! There is no admin checklist item for: "Would you like to have spambots swamping your board? [ ] Yes [ ] No". phpboard and other common forum software is constantly getting hacked to pieces by spammers which leads to new security holes and therefore more access for the spammers. This forum has been running from I guess the year 2002, the forum software is likely to be from that year or even older. In that time probably a zillion exploits have been discovered.

My main concern about moving to a new board, other than losing our vast archives here, is losing touch with Tom & Ed. Though their visits are infrequent here, they are always welcome and it's a cool thing when they show up.



Will they keep in touch via a new board?

Yeah, we'll tell them about it at Turnmills :)

This way we can continue being nerdy without annoying spam about viagra and big tits -

That's because you're a girl. They are my favourite threads, although; I don't need viagra for the boobs thread.



Cast your minds back, to a forum member who we all slated for creating a new forum. Who was he? where is he? Is it still up?



I'm definatly up for a new forum :D and if possible our post counts set to as they are now otherwise I can see a post war happening, and that is something we do not want, we get toomuch'stash talking enough shit as it is.



If it can be simular to this board, white bright and alive it'd be good. Not some dirty techno forum where it's all dark and every post feels like your last.

LAWL...

New board..cheers...

I dont like the idea of a new forum because it'll only be us and wont be the 'official' forum.



Unless you get in touch with the people who run this thing and change the link on the main site, but this will always be the official and i dont think it should change.



I vote - hack



it can be done, especially since these are old boards surely it can be hacked easily enough.
