We Need A New Forum Here

For political bickering, insults and trolls.

An updated version of the forum software would be nice too.

Edit to add: If the reason for running such an old version is due to the cost of an upgrade, I'd be willing to chip in some $$ to help cover the costs.

That would eliminate most posts here

Or just a sticky “I hate Trump” thread.

I think we have one, no one uses it.

Especially the phone app, or lack thereof. I would gladly make a donation to push this along. Where is @NEED-A-VETTE?

I'm just trying to figure out what will be left when political posts are removed from OT.

~links to Gene's e-mail

~occasional engineering

~funny cat videos?

~floor mat and Zaino threads?

While we're at it, can we get the game room back? Also, how about bringing 8-track tapes back, too?

These are the forums the mods use when things get out of hand in another forum I use. Threads just disappear and end up in one of these. Some of the best times are had there, no rules or moderation, Kind of like here.

Looks like the upgrade version is only $209 (or $249 for a new license). That's less than I expected.

I'm in for $50, or more if needed.

IIRC, the loss of the game room was purely the result of the discontinuation of "Flash", and had nothing to do with the forum administration nor the version of software in use.

The loss of flash also nuked my Rosetta Stone app.

What features would you like with a newer version?

Perhaps you would be more comfortable in a more heavily moderated forum.

All the best,

I like the fact that you're asking for input

If Steve created this thread at the other place, the thread would be locked & he'd be sent to band camp

I don't even know what the options would be.
