TeH g00fy admin (I wonder why no one takes me seriously...) Posts: 749 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: December 14, 2006	You may or may not know (depending on how closely you follow InvisionFree, which probably isn't all that closely, if at all =P) that the same people who created IF (...and are in charge of InvisionPower, the people who hosted PCF) have essentially left IF to die for their newest venture in forum hosting, ZetaBoards. From what I've seen of stalking their support forum, it's quite similar to IF, if not better. It's got more functions and features (and in some ways better mimics IPB than IF does, in my opinion), and conversion to ZB saves all accounts, posts, topics, PMs, statistics, all old links would link to the new board, etc., etc. Pretty much everything on the forum, except for the skin (I think). So that's the question: do we keep the board as it is, or do we upgrade to ZetaBoards? I could be wrong, but I don't think the skin is converted. In that case, I'd have to find a new one, but it's probably small price to pay. I've thought about it for a while, but decided it would be best to ask you guys first. Especially since conversion is permanent. =P The last thing I wanted was for people to log on and say "ZOMGWTFBBQ!!!!!1 WHAT IS THIS?!" so I figured getting opinions would probably be the wiser idea. Oh, and so you can see what ZB is like, here is a link to their homepage, and here is a link to their support forums. (This section has a lot of info on the conversions, if you're interested.)

If the convos are permanent what are we going to do about spammers?
