Any idea when there's going to be a halfway decent board put in place instead of this one? It's really not a very good system and considering good, free, bulletin boards like phpBB and YaBB can be put in place easily i don't see why it hasn't been upgraded. Perhaps past topics wouldn't be converted, but it's better now than later (or never..)
Views on this matter?

No ability to subscribe to posts, all messages shoved onto one messy board, all replies displayed on the one page, no private messaging... to me it's horrible to use..

i agree - i like threaded boards or ones similar to this one; phpBB and all those suck big time.. they are not boards, they are heavy applications, with lots of unneccessary who's-online-for-how-long-when-is-your-birthday-shit we don't need
but, maybe it's just me..

Jaroen, how? the frank zappa site board has a good few busy boards instead of just bunching all the posts onto one, and that's just for one artist.. here people are discussing everything from afx to squarepusher to autechre to boc to bogdan to philosophy to personal matters. It just doesn't make sense.

PhpBB etc. are quite unstable compared to this board. OF the two sites I've used that are run using it, they have had about 200% more "faults" than this one.

Not a very good system??
You're kidding. This is one of the most efficient, attractive, user friendly messageboards i've ever used. The problem with things like PhpBB is that there is so much inconsistency. Plus, with so many seperate forums, the place wouldn't seem so lively. I like how i can refresh the page and see 10 new posts. Also, the strict interface guidelines that phobia has in place make the board very nice to look at, avatars all the same size, color scheme matches, etc.
I wouldn't want to have it any other way.
However, I do think they should get rid of the "temp. messageboard title"

personally, i dont partake in any other board. this one is perfect because it avoids all the bullshit like private messaging and all that other crap.
plus, the people who use it are sensible and the people who run it keep good control of it.
its a straight to the point message board and i lovez it.

The secret of this board is that is closer to real live than other boards. You don't change rooms IRL when you wanne talk about something else.

I know I'm new here but I can't see me staying around with this board it is AWFUL. I came here because I heard the traffic was great and it is, which is precisely why this board type doesn't work.
The topics are moving around so much, and there is no indication of who made the last post in a topic from the index page so you don't know if there is anything new to read. If I come back 3 hours later all the topics have already dissapeared onto the next page. I can't see anything to hate about the other free webboards out there. Having different forums means you can talk about what you want and not get bombarded with shite, and the topics don't dissapear to quickly.

This is the only messageboard that i've been coming back to for such a long time, and made over 2000 posts! It's perfect as it is, and i wouldn't want anything different about the layout and/or the way it functions.
It's chaotic, yes... but that's what's so good about it :-D
"here people are discussing everything from afx to squarepusher to autechre to boc to bogdan to philosophy to personal matters"
Exactly! You've just summed up all the reasons i like this place so much ;-)

i know i'm new here and all.. you guys probably haven't even been reading my posts... nobody's responded at least :-P
but this board rawks.. it's hard to keep up with topics, but now i know i can put 100 topics per page, so that'll make that a bit easier.. i've been on a few web-based forums and even though i don't have any problem with the phpbb boards i've seen (can't say i've used a yabb one), i really like this one for the sleek streamlined look and feel.. this is starting to sound like a car commercial..
