How many of you would actually join it?
It's been a fun ride but I really don't like how this forum is turning out, it's dying plus we get spammed every other day and all proboards staff tell us to do is limit registration and that takes away member activity.
This way if we move to a open source forum we could probably track down the spammer easier and take better action. Not to mention all the open source plug ins we could get our hands on.

I'd join for sure! The biggest issue is the lack of a mobile app, but we could look into getting into the 'Tapatalk' app (which is what the Pb app is based off of).

I'm not sure how many of you guys know but I own another forum called AdminsHut, the spammers get stopped at registration and that's it, I just see loads of un-activated accounts.  The only problem with moving is we loose all our posts and I'm wanting to stick around for v5. We just need to keep our spam protector on (limited reg) and keep the posting up, we all go through rough spots but I think it would be to hard to move..... |

I'd move with, though I'd probably copy some of my topics from here. I like AdminsHut, but the community has a lot different feel to it. I like the community here more (that, and I'm one of several people working on their own software).

Tapatalk sucks, for your information. I see no reason for this forum to ever leave ProBoards. It would have to change if that's the case, it's a ProBoards coding forum, so it should be on ProBoards. If we were to have ProBoards codes and such, then codersCommunity would need to be on ProBoards. Trust me, I'm a big fan of phpBB, but seriously, cC is fine here. Also Kenneth, who is to say that anything would change if the forum were to move to real hosting on a real forward software? Do you think that we would see a surge of activity if we made the change, compared to the forum dying on ProBoards? No, it wouldn't. The only thing that would be stopped would be the spamming, and it still would not be full-proof. You are also saying the forum is dying, it's not. ALL websites have changes in activity amount as things are always changing in our world. For example, school going on right now could be a factor of the forum being a bit slowed down. Drops in activity are perfectly normal on websites, especially around this time. |
