Testing Out a New Forum
By Dan Shive, 03/14/2003
Zapped by FemV5 and Flirting Like Crazy
As those of you who use it know, the TWC Forum is often done, and I created an EZBoard forum as an alternative. EZBoard, however, is fairly slow, some people can't sign up, etc. So I'm trying out this other free message board. There are currently some pop-up ads, but if enough people start using it, I'll pay the monthly $6.95 fee to get rid of them.

I'm a little annoyed. I attempted to set up these forums so that guests could reply to posts without registering (which would make it quite different from the other forums), but I can't get it to work when I'm not logged in.

The registration process isn't exactly fast, is it?

Correction: it's broken. I never got the registration e-mail. Requesting a password reminder e-mail worked, though.

Hotmail?
Keenspot recently had a problem where hotmail was classifying their auto-response emails as spam, and deleting them before people got them.

Good God, Dan, how many forums do you need? 
Anway, I like these; they are almost identical to YaBB, which is what I am most accustomed to. (You should try those, too. Free w/ no popups.)
Anyway, the registration process for these took me about ten seconds.

I have a sinking feeling that these forums are going to die. They don't really appear to have caught on. Sad, this is the most I've ever gotten into any particular forum. Spread the word! We need more peeps here. Btw, how do I make a custom avatar?

He may not even need these forums, if they are to be a backup to the TWC forums. Essentially, TWC now operates on a dedicated server, and there should be no server downtime issues anymore. Really, the only time they've been down since the DNS cleared up was last weekend, and that wasn't the servers fault.... it was just a horrid, confusing ordeal that is best not to be brought up.
But TWC should be solid as a rock now.
