It gets a thumbs up from me. With the new board, hopefully we can get a fresh in-flux of members and a new level of (civil) discourse.

If it is, it will be easy to find out. Just check to see if he is posting from Boise. But at least he will be able to catch this years game in Idaho.

so whats the over/under here? somebody want to open up a pool?

If he behaves he will be here for a while.

Nevermind, I lied. He's gone already.

hahaha

This new board gets a double thumbs down from me, why did they change it? What was wrong with the old board?

This board has a lot more features. Read the conversion site to see what they were. This board is a lot like the NIUFans.com Forum. I like the quick reply and quick edit options. Makes things simpler and faster. You just have to get used to it, even i do after posting on the previous board for over 2 years.

While there's a lot to get used to, I love the multiquote and quick reply features.

i cant remember if they were like this before, but the "new topic" and "new reply" buttons are easy to confuse/misclick. personally, i wouldnt include a new topic button if youre already within a thread, since it seems unlikely to start one from there.

I don't really like it either. I liked the old format.

Ghetto.

It gets a thumbs up from me too. With the new board and reputation system, we might be able to turn this board around from the garbage it's become...as long as people stop trying to create fake identities.

agreed. maybe now that the board is new again maybe we can get back to discussing NIU athletics, NIU academics and hopefully have a relatively enjoyable discussions on those subjects regardless of the views of the board members
