Yes.

I think, at the very least, you should do Wii/360/PS3 separate from PS2/gamecube/xbox1. But I guess if you wanted, you could put each into it's own category. I'm all for cleaning up the forums.

Probably, if we do ever upgrade, it will be to phpbb 3. It does pretty much everything vBulletin does, but you don't have to pay a yearly license fee.

phpBB is horrible. vBulletin is horrible as well. To be fair, most forums systems are horrible. But phpBB is definitely the worst. It's buggy, insecure and buggy.

PHPBB2 here works so well.

PHPBB3 on my little forum is awesome...

I vote no because it would be near-impossible to sort the existing topics and it would be a huge mess for a while.

Maybe some members could be made into mods temporarily to sort the topics (I'd do it).

As would I, for I know that I'll never become a mod any other way for any period of time...sigh...

BTW, even though I know you will all refuse, would it help if I promised that's the ONLY thing I'd do. The last thing I want to do is get banned...

vskid, I'm sure we are up for consideration.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. As members, it appears we want it, but will we be inconveniencing the admins and mods(all 3 of you)?

All I know is that sorting through it and updating the sticky at the same time would be great for information.

If I were to become a mod I could help...
Anyone remember the trading post update, that shows my dedication

Should we give the new consoles their own spinoff?
