what do you think about a new forum? (less down time)

[slammed89civic]

i am contemplating making my own 88-91 civic/crx forum....i was wondering if you guys would be willing to move over to a new forum, u could expect less down-time, i would try to keep ur post counts, and i would keep the same mod's (as long as they would agree to move) with an addition of myself as a mod.....anyway, vote on the poll and tell me what you all think

i do get a lil tired of server busy but im not a fan of moving again . doesnt matter if i keep my post count or not. Im kinda undecided so ill pick #3

[TrailerParkJake]

exactly my thoughs.......this server used to be pretty good, but then started gathering more and more traffic that there servers cannot handle, i cant blame them though, it must cost them a fortune to keep this place up (although im sure they make up for it all with all there banners ad's)

Banner ad revenue only really happens if you click the banner. How many people here do that on a regular basis? Truthfully?

Compared to the old server, this place is paradise. Going to any other publicly hosted server that cops the usage this place does would yield similar results.

If the community splinters, which it prolly will if we move again, then we all lose out. My suggestion is to stick with what we have for now - we've been through worse.

i'd be up for it, i get that damn server busy message after looking at one thread.

I agree with him, Hostboard went down for like a week or so straight, maybe even more....i dont really remember. I have to say though, we are part of the reason its so busy, this board get a good amount of traffic itself. We been here since 04-29-2002...i checked the first post. We are within 3000 post of the 92+ forum which oldest post is 12-13-2000. We have had 24343 in 6 months 92+ has had 27015 is about 2 years... So wherever we go ( if we do) its jsut gonna happen again most likely.

I guess if everyone else decides to move i might but it just seems like we are going to have the same problems we did at hostboard if we move again.

...there's gonna be problems anywhere, not necessarily the same problems...but there's always something.... like setanta said, the only thing that's gonna happen if you all decide to move is that we end up losing a bunch of people...

Yep i agree. Nothing is perfect.

i already posted this in another thread so here it goes again:

first off, i'm not going to complaine. our old message board left us down for a month straight. i'm not into switching 4thgenerationcivic.com's forum. we have switched 3 times and we lost important people each time.

AF is going to have another server upgrade. be patient, please. for the amount of 4th gen memebers we have...this is the best home for us.

try checking out the 4th gen chat in the evenings!

newbies...you just have to take the word of the old skooler that this really is the best place for us. due to the volume of members, we have have server troubles no matter where we go

Do as you will, but the AF server problems are being worked on. Things just cant happen overnight.
