Adding my .02 . . .
I have been to the new board 3 times. It is simply no where near the level of our current board, nor do I see it ever being that way. It is not user friendly at all, nor understandable IMO. I thought when they got the new site up, there was going to be some sort of link to the current board (not just a simple link, but logging in there would have you logged in here), if not moved entirely to the new site. I understand it would have been a complex task to do so, but to start an entirely new board wasn't the best thing to do, again IMHO. If they really wanted to make some money, they would have done that. I love the show and the new web site is cool, but I don't see it "taking off" as somebody (not pointing fingers, just whoever made that decision) may have thought. Also, it almost seems like a slap in the face to this message board. I think we have had a positive effect on the show. Not that everybody that listens is a member of this board, but we sure vocalize the show to people unknown to it by promoting the fun of the forum. I became a VIP of the new site, not to be a member of the new forum, but just because I needed a new podcast. I would close by saying, the other aspects of being a VIP attracted me more than to be a member of the new forum. To me, those other "perks" are well worth being a VIP, and I don't think the forum was necessary.
