Server Migration is Complete!

It seems the new forum does not have the same rate of posts/day. Maybe I'm missing them. I've settled on hybrid mode for viewing and can't quite figure out what I should be reading. The other posts in this thread pointed out a few differences in the GUI. I can't quite put my finger on it but the culture of the winni forum crowd has changed. Maybe it will just take more time. The editing tools are nice but overall, the service has too many features that aren't being used. Three steps forward and two steps back. That's progress.

I think you are correct to a certain degree Lakegeezer but I don't think that is all that bad. I did and do miss seeing posts by some of the regulars like FLL. I never did find out if he got that outboard fixed but I did like his posts on ice thickness after he got that auger from wally world. I still miss the old "look" a bit but I don't miss the threads that turned into endless "did not...did to... etc". I must have been a nightmare for Don as he remained the impartial webmaster. As Jan said, I think the nonsense has diminished at the same time Don doesn't have to read every post. Change is not always easy for us old Yankees, both those from the "swamps" of RI or the "hills" of NH. I think most of the good people are still here.
