Wonderful! Thanks so much Lance! Slowly but surely we will get the hang of this & get all our stuff back. EDIT: You know this forum is really fast too! Lance you are wonderful!

Barbieq, I got to agree with you. Even on my Blackberry, it loads much faster than the other one did.

Certainly does load quickly Lance. Lets hope it doesn`t slow down too much as more posts , threads and images are added.

I wonder if it's cuz we will have 2 weeks of Ad-free forum. The other thing I like about this forum is the Google search on the bottom, it'll probably make it quicker to search through the forum.

Yes, thank you Lance. I also like the look of this board.

I think a big part of it is simply that it is not as large as the old Fans was with fewer sections. I assume there will be a tut section added in the future Lance. Can`t have a forum without your superb tutorials can we?

Thanks Lance for doing such a great job and setting up this forum. Great to be here and it's good to see all the familiar names. This'll be a great place to be with you and Welshy running things. Bravo.

So happy that this forum is running, too. Great job, Lance. This wouldn't have been done without you.

I don't deserves those praises. The mere fact you guys were willing to move here and spot what was missing, potential issues, and just being a great community are parts of the reason why I was willing to set up a new forum. I just wanted to keep all of us together.
We could have gone back to the main board, and possibly lose the sense of kinship we have here. It seem more calm, unified, and "clutter" free, if you catch my drift.

You do deserve the praise & thanks, Lance. We would have lost what we have here as you pointed out. It would have been a great loss.

Lance, the main board isn't the same as it was. It seems abandoned even though a lot of users are still on. I don't know. I guess people aren't as active on the board. I like this setting. It feels more personable.

I really enjoy it here more than the official board. It is so joyful, and everyone treats each other like family. I much prefer it here.

The main board has become more and more like a support forum lately. A lot of new users are signing up because PDN is gaining attention and popularity, so a lot of new posts have been dealing with "what's up with this?" Sarkut probably will tell us the story a bit more.

I think a lot of the reason the speed (forum loading quicker) is due to a better host. Free Forums.org has really hit the skids under the new owner. Hence all the spam on there. The size does make a difference, but even though they said they put in new servers at FF.org, my forum slowed down, had more offline time, more spam attacks, and lots of problems with virus attached to the adds. It's a real shame, but I guess that what happens when a jerk buys out the company.
Hey Lance, I love the Red with lines forum skin. Very nice !
