I don't mind moving. IPB forums are awesome.
But Windstorm makes a really good point. There's nothing wrong with where we are now, and moving would be an unnecessary inconvenience. >>

Still for it though.

Mehh, the forums are good the way there are right now. And more features aren't going to really add something in my opinion too.
So, I'm leaning towards a ''no''.

I don't see what the point is. We have everything we need here, all a move would do is inconvience members. Knowing how often the server goes down, I would hate for the forum to go down everytime as well. Let's just stay where we are. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I'm probably going to end up buying separate web hosting for it actually.

You should stay(: <3
it'd be less troublesome because you guys probably have plenty of other crap to do. :o
& if the server ever went down it'd take awhile before we knew when it was back up.
Blahblahblah.

Well, he did just say he'd probably end up buying separate hosting. And if he does, that'd take a way of major issues with moving.

no, i think we should stay on these forums because what if some of our members dont decide to go to the new forums and just quit!?

those new things are cool and all but i dont think we should risk anything just for them.
Only the laziest and uncommitted players would leave the forums just because we moved. ._.
That being said, we probably wouldn't miss them, and vice versa, anyway.

Still, the fact that the the forum will be down when the server goes is a bit of a bummer - you get more load on the server, and while I have many people added on MSN and talk on Vent so I know what happened when something goes wrong, I know not all players have that and usually refer to the forums to check out what happened.

In that case, I'm leaning a bit more towards changing forums, it sounds cool and I hang around a lot anyway. :3 If donations/funding for the server can facilitate the extra web hosting, that would be pretty cool.

I vote no because we have all the we need in the current forum. Personally I see no point in moving for advanced board features. However, just by looking at what's been said so far it seems like a forum move is inevitable.

From a members point of view, yes everything you guys need is here. But for admins and staff, not so much. With the new features, I can actually run a lot more forum events and give out actual prizes easier, and I no longer have to waste time with manually confirming and setting up donations, and bunch of other stuff. IPB makes moderation much easier, also gives me a lot more security features for the forums.
