The forum is dead, long live the forum!

I think we just got a new motto! :)

I checked out the Proboards forum for site administrators and I don't like that place. It has a Terms of Service agreement that would limit what we can post, and it looks like they're pretty fascist about enforcing it. There was a board there with 7,000 members(!) that was running for a few years, and the Proboard people decided there was a copyright infringement posted on that forum, and they deleted the whole place! Without warning! They didn't even get in touch with the administrators first, to give them a chance to delete the offending post. The last I read of it, the admins were begging Proboard to at least put their archives back up, so they could store their threads to put elsewhere. And Proboard refused! fuck them.

So I think if we move, EZboards would be the next option. I'll check into that further. If we do end up going there, as much as I think calling the place the Euphorium is a good idea, there's a pretty big problem with that. The main CC forum on EZ is called Cornell Euphoria, so what I was saying before about not wanting to cause confusion between the sites... well, as you can see that really won't help the situation.

Amadaun-- you can make things bold or italic almost the same way that we did on the official site. Put [b] [/b] around what you want bold, and use [i] [/i] for italics. EXCEPT instead of using brackets where I did, use the 'less than' 'greater than' pointy-looking keystrokes instead. The ones on top of the comma and period keys. I can't show you an example, cause you'll only see the bold or italicized result. :P

The archives here are easy to access-- they're shown by number near the top right-hand corner of the page. I wish there was a search feature, though, and I wish we had more than a limit of ten pages for them.

I just made the pink brighter, so it should be easier to read now. It looks kind of obnoxious to me, so I'll probably change it back soon. So read all the links while you can! ;)

What bothers me most about the style of this place is they stuck us with a serif-type font. I think reading it is very hard on the eyes. I'd love to change it to sans-serif (simpler unembellished letters), but I'd have to change the whole type of format that we're using here to make that kind of style change. So that sucks.

Thanks again for the thanks! You really can stop now y'all, before I get really embarrassed. Except for GarlicSoul. I'd like to hear it from him. heh
