I think the bboard should revert back to the older style, before captured.com so rudely changed it. It just seemed alot better and alot less complex for what we're aiming for. We're a small community of only about 100-200 people, so we don't need all the complexities of a major bboard.
Basically the changes I'm suggesting are:
-- Consolidate it all into one "general" section, or, at the very least, don't shuffle topics around if they're in the "general" section (ie, don't move a topic about a map in the general forum to the mapping forum).
-- There shouldn't be a need to register a nick. I think the old boards worked fine where we just put in our names and started chatting away. Even better, do what the q3pball boards used to do-- make it so you CAN register your nick, but it's not required. If there's a nick conflict, the person with the registered nick takes precedence.
