I'm for keeping the current site. It's easy to use, just a few simple buttons with no clutter like most other forums. And the multiple viewing options should keep almost anyone happy. Long live the current site! :)
: Hi all
: Kurt recently posted, in remarkably diplomatic terms for a redneck
: Texan kayak builder, that he would like some of the features of
: a more modern forum.
: Add my vote for upgrading the BBS too.
: I *really* appreciate the free access and advice available here,
: and I am super impressed that it has been operational since
: 1996! Now that was embracing technology.
: But I bet Nick would get more search results, links and casual
: browsers via a more modern forum (passed through from this
: address), hosted on on the Guillemot Kayaks website, with a
: preserved link back to the old forum for searching etc. Forum
: posts rarely crop up on Google searches whereas, for example,
: WordPress blog articles with good category and tags attached
: return very high results, and I bet a more modern forum would
: similarly increase Google search results for information.
: It would also be fun to do stuff like polls, link to multiple
: photos, link to other sites, edit responses, etc.
: Cheers, Ian
