Maybe the owner is just hoping everyone will think it is due to a lack of funds and everyone will become a paying member. I finally divied up a while back and got that warm fuzzy feeling all over :rolleyes: And now that I've paid, I use it about 80% less, go figure :(
Dig deep and pass the collection basket :D He who does will be rewarded with free speech? :confused:
Who's got the best price on "The J_ _ _ _" anyway?
:D

have we ever checked into EZ Boards (www.ezboard.com)
they are free except for popups, and sponsors could donate to eliminate the pop-ups (about $500 a year if its a VERY busy site)
example at http://pub122.ezboard.com/bmithanielmarrdailynews
they can do about everything and are very easy to use
(dont laugh,its an online game my nephew plays :cool: )

We tried Ezboard and I would not recommend them..We use Vbulliten at www.ZRXOA.org a much better product..
This format here now seems to be ok..www.labusas.org uses a simuilar program as this site does..
-
From a user standpoint, I find EZ-Board's software to be much easier to use. Additionally, it's method of marking updated discussions and using profiles is much better, IMO.

I only have one request. Can I be sent back to the duramax 6600 forum (or others) after I reply instead back into a thread I just read to the end? Seems like common sense to me. I would think it would be an easy enough change.
How many out there agree? Or am I missing a valid reason to be put back to the top of the page I just read after posting??
-
Sledzap - I agree. I'm always wondering the same thing. I'd prefer to be taken out to the forum I was in so that I could continue on to the next topic. Hmmmm.....

While the EzBoard may not be the most wonderful place on earth it DOES work. I am the admin. of a 4-wheeler site--we are using the EzBoard. We have pics, links, & and can 'mark' the threads that have been read since one's last visit. The way that a pic is loaded is that it is 'linked' to a server; so that server is picking up the 'blessed space(bandwidth)', and not the EzBoard. We have never had any trouble or breech; and like the others mentioned, I do not see how links within a post would be any more of a hazard than links in a sig.--or links at the top of the page doing paid advertisment.. I have been a paying member here since day one (that I have been here). On the EzBoard, it is all by contribution--simply put--if we don't raise enough money to meet the benchmark, then I figure the board it not worth having..?? We have been around for about 3 years.
Also, not everyone puts contact info in their sig., so one can not effectively 'PM' someone else based on THAT criteria. Say, if it were 'mandatory' that everyone put some sort of contact info in their sig.--well, that would be about 1/10 as good as PM's.. Just my [wondering] thoughts...

I just checked and our Motorcycle club ZRXOA.org has already used 35 gigs yes, 35 gigs this month so far...with 12 days left in the month..yikes!

Aside from that you guys need to remember this IS, WAS, and ALWAYS WILL BE: More Power's house! We are all guests here, and should act as we would like others to act in our house. Polite suggestions and requests are one thing, but chronic complaining is another...

So John, how much do you charge to visit your house.
It seems the only say we have is if we want to be a member or not. Period. Pretty cold visit if you ask me.

From what I see, the DP never had a forum until recently. The membership fee did not increase when the forum was added, so it is like a bonus.
Members and non members alike are allowed at most of these forums. Still DP property, and provided at no charge or no ADDITIONAL charge although, I'm sure members would have a stronger voice in the suggestion to change than non. That is just a fact of life...
This thread never should have gotten as long as it did. I believe MP's original intent was to get people to post about engine related items here, and non engine in the drivetrain forum. Pretty simple if you ask me. Now some stuff is pretty vague and doesn't really have a proper forum, so off topic posts will still happen, but Allison threads should not be here etc etc...

Hoot: This ain't no Stinking American Express!!!!
Who says membership has it's privileges? :confused:
JK: Not everyone has to make that call.
I'll give you this much... You know a lot! BUT... It's not like your the "diesel god" or something. :rolleyes:
There are other sources of information out there!

This has gotten way off topic....
There is a simple solution for anyone who is unhappy with this BB. Just tell me how you want your refund handled.
