uer.ca has spoiled me

I can't join any other forums now. They all seem so poorly desinged. I was trying to converse with people on a typical forum elsewhere, and it was impossible because i've become so spoiled here. I was getting angry because clicking on thread subjects didn't take me straight to the last post I read and I actually had to search for where I had left off. I can no longer stomach the sight of people's signatures containing fifty dancing 300x300 animated gifs and flashing lights (not like I could really stand it before, but now it's just impossible to look at)...

Thanks av, thanks for ruining the rest of the internet for me. Asshole.

Hey, I just set out to code the forum that worked how I wanted it to, and not how other forums did. What I call "Read states" -- the ability for the forum to remember exactly where you left off, even months later, is very important to me. How can you be expected to remember every thread you participate in? So yeah, I can totally understand your complaints.

Thanks for the kind words

Ya Av... you're such an crewl a$$bag for being such a stellar programmer, thanks for nothing, you inconsiderate prick!

LOL - Now those of us happy with you have something to complain about, Av! ;)

Yay!

Those inervision boards and those vBulletin ones are so crappy. Thanks for being such a great programer. Oh an idea, want $$$ for UER's upkeep? Sell your forum software.

Heh, then I'd have to make it ready to be sold, and deal with all the licensing hassles and also support and so on. Plus, since I'd be selling the source code, anyone could fuck with it or resell and steal it.

Sorry, but no

sometimes i find the features "over the top", but for the most part this is definitely the most functional and useful forum i've ever been to.

I'm going to cheer for the other team here and say:

Forums ? Nope.
LDB ? Yaaaayyy!!

I've never been able to get into the forums here much. I'm more used to www.hiddenglasgow.com where the conversation is a little less.... rigid ? It remembers read states too.

But I would say that as it's 'my local' so to speak.

Not that I don't like the forums - just that they are not my favourite part of the site - which you can tell by my forum post count.

BUT

I LOVE the ldb - there is nothing else quite like it I have seen on the internet anywhere else.. It's great. The idea of uploading a picture and then having picture by picture comments and discussions around it is a really, really good idea. It also lends itself pretty damn well to UE.

Major pat on the back for that one Av - it's a great idea and a masterpiece of work.

Chris...

We all had ostriches. My dad had an ostrich farm! I remember one day someone came in and said the high altitude bombing of Kosovo had been a limited success, so we all went out and celebrated… by killing an ostrich and boiling it in kiwi fruit.

I love the forum format, but I'm with Turbo Here, the reason I love the ldb is to see peoples reaction to my pictures, and those that I have commented on.
My gripe is that it consumes too much time. And now with the addition of chat, I can spend countless hours talking about nonsense.
This should be for sale. I've never seen a forum I liked. This is just "slick" . There should be no gripes whatsoever about the layout.

I got your tour winner right here pussies, at least he'd crash out trying.

I think it's funny that a lot of the messages giving kudos to Av are sarcastically calling him an asshole. ;)

But yeah, kudos Av! You're a s00p3r-l33t ASP h4x0r. Now you'll begin approaching MY l33tness when you start using PHP and Linux... ;)

In all seriousness, AvBoard is one the cleanest nicest to read forums I've ever been on. The only other one I even like remotely as much is LinuxQuestions.org

yeah, i have to add my voice to the chorus here - i have pretty much dropped my other boards in favor of this one - Av has created something that really works well for me. definately the best designed board i have been involved with since the BBSing days

of course, the people on it deserve some of the credit too

Av,

You should package this forum software for sale. It has so many features that are not found in most forums today it would probably be a hit.

Hey, profits might even be able to support UER... who knows.

I think it's a good idea too, and he could make some good money I think, but as you can see, Av's not for that idea.

Whoops. I missed that post for some reason. Just doing a little skimming... thought it was another sarcastic 'Fuck You Av!' type of post.

I have a buddy who has a similar build to his forum. I dont like the color scheme as much but he has a super nice board just like this. Since I stay in these two I feel well at home.

I used to frequent www.j-body.org and the forums over there, but lets just say that they are a bit 'juvenile'... How can you cvall someone an asshole for two pages because they happen to like a certain kind of wheel? But I digress...

I spend most of the day here... At work, in between trips, I am hogging the computer in the security office looking at the DB or over here in the forums... I really like the community here. As much as people fight here (and that will happen with diverse people), it still is far more civil and intelligent than anywhere else.

I like it here.
