I've been gone for a while so this is a big surprise. The look is clean. That's nice. It will take some getting used to the new way it operates. That's a pain. I don't know why the software changed. Maybe, like Ikonboard, there is zero support anywhere for software that was abandoned by the developers, or maybe this is just software the new owner/admin knows and can maintain, and the old forum software was strange to him.
I can live with any of it as long as our community stays together. This forum, to me, is about a community of Burgman riders. That community can only be destroyed by ourselves so long at the owner does not shut it down.
It is in the owner's interest that we like the way the forum works and he seems willing to listen to us to tweak it to our liking. Let's work with him to make it so; I haven't seen any other Burgman communities on the Web that even come close to this one.
In our lives and everywhere on the planet, CHANGE HAPPENS. Live with it, it could be worse.
