For the time being we are scrapping the new board. We will come back to this one so the whining as***** will shut their pie holes. We will devise another plan and then I will probably leave this one open so the whiners will have a place to congregate while we talk about vintage cards on a new site. I hope the whiners are happy!! |

Ouch sorry Leon short of the speed issue I thought the new board was kind of cool. It had some neat features etc. that I thought could come in handy... |

Agreed. Like the new site, appreciate all the effort that went into creating it and moving the data, and look forward to using it. |

I agree the move should still be made...and this forum should be locked down. The Luddites can go back to their rotary dial telephones if they wish to communicate. |

Now I feel bad, since I am one of the Luddites. If I may speak on behalf of our forlorn group, I thought the high tech look of the new site was kind of cool, but I also knew it was unlikely I would use too many of the features. Like I said, I enjoy to read what other collectors have to say and respond when I think I have something to add. But even on the old board my interaction was never any greater than that. Doesn't mean I liked it any less than the next guy. Some love to drive a Maserati but I'm equally happy in my Honda. |

Not sure what the next plan of action is. I will get with Brian, Dan, Matt and Mike and devise another plan. We might go to a new board, leave this one open for the people that are crying, and the other 640 of us can be happy. So if you don't like a new one you can keep your happy ass here....For the immediate future we will be back here. Sorry for the inconvenience. I am going to do my volunteering at the Salvation Army...Ya'll have fun.... |

Dave- I was doing fine on the new board and even stopped looking at the old one. If the slowness issue was resolved I would have been perfectly happy sticking with it. But I still would have primarily read threads of interest and posted when I could. I'm not sure I would have used all those new features. I am 56 and with limited computer knowledge. Most of the people on this board are in their 20's and 30's. I will gladly go with whatever board we ultimately end up with. |

The other board was a lot better than this one. It is mind blowing to me that people would rather stay with this format. The only problem was it was a lot slower but I am sure it was being worked out. It is a shame because most of the popular boards use the one Net54 was going to be on. |

I didn't get a chance to really get into the features of the new board because I was just sort of waiting for the issues to be worked out, so I don't have an opinion there. But the thing is, I don't deserve an opinion! All I do is read, learn, and occasionally post a comment. I don't put any money or time into running this board. I didn't move all of those posts over from the old board to the new. I don't have to monitor the content of all the posts. I just get on when I feel like it. It's other people who put all of the work in, yet it benifits all of us. I wouldn't enjoy collecting cards nearly as much if it wasn't for this forum. So I think it really sucks that anyone would complain about the functionality of the board, because if you're not one of the guyus that put the work in, you don't have the right to complain. If you don't agree with me...I challenge you to a cagefight! |

Dave- like I said I will go with any board we ultimately end up with. I have already apologized to Leon for posting that I liked the old board more. I did not realize everything that was going on when I posted. But again, people like what they like. If I prefer simplicity I am neither right nor wrong. There were likewise problems with this board, especially with the lack of tech backup, but if we never made the change and continued here I would have been fine. I don't think there is anything more I can add to this discussion. |

Actually Robert I think Barry has every right to voice his opinion. While he may not have put any work into moving to the new site, over the years he has provided a lot of important content. Content that requires a lot of work to provide. Content that was so valuable that it was all moved over to the new site. If it was just the best software that made this site, people would have moved on long ago. It is the content that makes the site and the people like Barry and Leon who provide it. |

Shut this board down, and get the new one going (exclusively). I guarantee that those saying they will not participate on the new board will participate. It will be impossible for them to stay away. Don't even waste a moment getting upset and second guessing the decision. |

Another vote for the new board. Thoroughly enjoying it. Once the speed is fixed, it'll be great. Tried three times to respond to this thread, and got an internal error on the first two. |

Everyone needs to calm down. The fact is, the new board is not working well. Until it's fixed there is no point in using it. After all, one doesn't use a board like this simply because of the bells and whistles -- it's the content that matters only. When the new board is up to speed, literally, it will be a better place to be than this board. There is no question on this issue, that is a fact. But until that happens, there is no point in using a board that frustrates its members so much due to an eminently fixable issue. Similarly, short of the speed issue, there is no logical complaint to be made about the new board. |

I haven't read every thread on the new board or this one, so maybe I missed something. But I didn't see a whole lot of whining. I sure hope I'm not one of the offenders. I mentioned in passing that it was a "royal pain in the ass" to post images to the new board without having your own website. But I certainly meant no offense and appreciate all the hard work that Leon and his helpers have put into the board, without pay. |

Paul, you don't need your own website to post photos on the new board. There will be (and was) plenty of help to make sure people know how to post images on the new board. IMO it was just as easy if not simpler to post images on the new forum. |
