    Forum issues: word from TGR HQ

    Yo maggots, please bear with the forum issues!

    Contact has been made with the mothership. We laughed, we cried, it was better than cats.

    Seriously, we explained that the forum has been pretty jacked lately and seeming to be in a downward spiral for a while, and that the maggot community was worried and wanted to do what we could to make the forums thrive again. We were told -- these are direct quotes with very minor editing and some cut/pasting -- that "we want to solve this problem and we are committed to the forums. We are making an upgrade to the main site currently and want to address the bigger picture forum issues asap. It would be great to have an option if we were to migrate. The other thing I was thinking of is hiring a vb expert during the main site upgrade and taking measures to fix them during that time and have legit ongoing support.

    We are hoping to start the major overhaul to the main site in 2-4 weeks. It will be a 4-5 month process. I am not sure exactly what stage of this the forums will be addressed, but it should be a few times along the way as there will need to be things that are undone, retired together, etc.

    Let's try to put together some options and work on a better solution."

    So, we have seen XenForo mentioned as one possible forum software option, perhaps there are others. For those who have expertise in this area or experience with other forum software, please PM us or post in this sticky in the Padded Room or Ski/Snowboard (so we don't have to read 9 threads to put the ideas together).

    Thanks for your patience and let's keep this going. It's gonna be HUDGE!
