These online petitions really work. There was one against that war in Iraq, and you don't see that still going on do you?

Please sign my Get rid of the human race petition.

The UBB here is a bit old and I myself prefer the phpBB but creating a petition won't get you anywhere.    

It's all up to the Webmaster actually.   ;)

I have no problem with UBB. If a new format is chosen, please allow the modifiable nickname option. It's a great idea.

Oh and please allow silly ass script kiddies to use those characters that allows them to fake member names, "Calum:Crusader for BS" was hilarious(to name one example).  :D

Okay, this forum is out of date, but I don't care and you have too much time on your hands to be thinking about this.

i agree.

the 'UBB sucks' movement sucks.

that said i am morally opposed to UBB compared with phpBB and ikonboard (which are both superior in my opinion, well maybe not ikonboard depending on what your expectations are) for the simple reason that UBB is closed source and it costs money.
now THAT sucks.

Here is what I have to say:

UBB is SHIT.
It is a paid product which is inferior to other free products such as phpbb
It doesn't even encrypt passwords using MD5. SO THAT MEANS THE ADMINS CAN SEE THE PASSWORD YOU USE
You can't have avatars

I'm not going to insult the people who run this site but WHAT GOT STUCK UP YOUR ARSEHOLE WHEN YOU PAID MONEY FOR THIS SHIT

I hope we don't have avatars, I hate them. When reading a thread I wan't to read a thread - not look at a stupid 35x50 image that some d00d thinks is funny.
Signatures are just about acceptable...

Those are some good points. How ironic that we've been using closed source to help spread open source.

Well this isn't exactly an OSS/FS advocacy site - the webmaster favours a propritary operating system. As do you.

it would be nice to move to something like phpbb, but that just seems like a huge pain in the ass. i think for what it does, it works fine. there are some features i would like to see, like stickies & board-wide announcements that reflect on every forum, but it isnt that big of a deal.
