New Forums Launched

[Castanet Moderator]

I think it’s finally time to launch the new forums, don’t you think?

Sorry, it’s taken a lot longer to get going than I had promised. There is so much going on day to day at Castanet, its tough to squeeze in the time to get it done.

The new forums are live and can be found at forums.castanet.net

Unfortunately, there is no way to import our users off this board so you must re-register on the new board. I advise you do so quickly to avoid someone claiming your sign in name.

What’s going to happen to this board?
Come Monday morning, I will disallow posts to this board and re-point all the links on Castanet to the new forum home. I post this message here as a courtesy to existing regular users, before we publicize the new forums to the masses on Castanet.

What's new on the board?
• The new board has the existing look and feel of the Castanet site. (If this drives you absolutely nuts, web to forums.castanet.net/index.php instead.)
• Custom avatars are supported.
• Due to popular demand, there are more boards. Post your suggestions for more on our suggestion board.
• We can allow some of you to be forum moderators of individual boards. This might give the board a more organized feel if we have more of us sharing the work. If you are interested, drop us an email.
• The boards are 100% on our Castanet servers. That means no more Pro-boards “we are too busy messages”. I hope this will also deal with the mysterious “disappearing message” syndrome too. (Yea, we know, no one believes us.)

I won't remove this forum per say because of the history of the past fire messages. not to mention the messages since then. However, I will lock this forum to prevent new posting. Otherwise we have two forums going that split the posts. I think everyone would agree, one board with more messages is better than two with less!

In any case, today is the last day of posting on this board. Enjoy!

Just a reminder, be sure to visit forums.castanet.net to get your username. There are already a few posts going on over there too!

I trust there will be stricter rules to limit the abuse and noise
of some members

[diogenes]

who are "some members" and "some people"
identify those to whom you refer

[watershed]

In DIO & RT debate - the term noise was mentioned, that may answer Dio's question. Noise means two or more persons
debating in a public areana when it should be private.
It is called courtesy to the other members.

Anyway, congratulations on the new site.

[Diogenes]

Of cours e you would engage in anything like that, did you?

[watershed]

Some of have had a good time on this site.

But for others a nod is as good as a wink!

[Diogenes]

Had i realised you were"blind" i wouldn't have given you the wink.
sorry for you loss
