Car-Seat.Org Forum Upgrades - Please vote!
Greetings,
We are considering an upgrade to our current forums hosted by Ezboard. Unfortunately, ezboard reliability seems to be declining and outages and slow loading are becoming more common. In addition, ezboard now charges us nearly $100 a year to remain ad-free, and the ads are some of the most aggressive pop-ups anywhere on the internet.
So, I am researching new forum software and hosting alternatives. Some may even allow me to import all our current posts. Unfortunately, it is likely that most member data would be lost, and current members would have to open new accounts. Any change is likely to be gradual, and both forums would coexist throughout the rest of the year.
The new forums should be much faster, easier to search, easier for non-registered members to post and retain much of the look and feel of ezboard. Many packages tend to thread messages differently, so there will be some variations. There would be absolutely no registration fees, community chest or membership level plans as ezboard has now.
So, please take time to vote, and feel free to reply to this post if you have comments. If you do reply, please also post how you found us (link, search engine, ezboard, etc).
Thank you for your input!
