I want & need your oppinions -- PLEASE READ!

NOTE: THIS IS AN OLD THREAD FROM BEFORE WE MOVED TO THIS DOMAIN AND THIS FORUM CODE!!!

No New Moves are planned

Group!

You guys have been the most active group on the website and I really need and want your oppinions as well as opinions of anybody that has been visiting the site!

I have been having HUGE problems with forums on a number of other website that use this same forum code. I believe much of the problems I have been having were due to a cheap host (Where the websites and Database is held) and this website does not suffer from that problem as I this website is on a much more expensive and secure hosting location...

In an attempt to fix the problems I have been having with my other websites I am consolidating all of my other forums into a central forum. I am just starting the process but you can see the start here...

Yea, the layout needs some work but I only bought the domain, set up the MYSQL database, and purchased the forum software 36-hrs ago and I had a ton of information that needed to be saved before I had any additional loss due to crashed databases...

The new website is with a very robust host that is actually cheaper then this host but they give me very powerful backup and security features so that I can monitor who is doing what, when, and where...

So anyways, the question is... should I move the forums that are on this website to that new community? If I do so, I will actually try to directly import all of the data in these forums into the new website including member information if I can...

This is a big decision as the forums seem to be stable here and the software that we are using here is decent but the software at the new site has a TON of additional features that are really nice...

Please let me know what your oppinions are as I feel you guys that come here are the real owners of the place... I am just the guy that got things setup for you all!

Please play with the new forums and advise if we should combine all the forums... and I can then look to see if I can upload all the forums right here at Quarterbore.com or just how I can make it work...

Lastly as long as the forums here remain stable, I will not do this without your feedback! If I have any hint that this bard is having similar problems as I have seen with M9Bayonet.com Buck-184.com MustangReview.com Lathetalk.com, etc .... expect the move the same day!

OH YEA... Here is a link that gives you an idea what things might look like when it is running... It is the info from M9Bayonet.com, Buck-184.com, and M7Bayonet.com all combined into one area....

Also, I do own the domain eazyforums.com... I needed to buy a new domain to test things out... It may be possible that the forums can come here!

I'm all for the upgrade if we can import the databases intact... If we have to move them by hand again I'll abstain from voting ;) ... Eitherway, Let me know if you need help moving the posts by hand again!

Thanks Buddy!!!

No, I made darned sure that I have a good backup of the database and I have verified that the new forums will allow me to import all the forums, posts, members, etc. Th emore I play with the new program the more I have grown to really like it!

The program we are moving to is the same software that drives AR15.com, AK-47.net, GlockTalk.com, and UZITALK.com... That is some of the biggest and best gun forums on the web and all the reference I need to justify the move!

I have requested that a couple of my domains get transfered to this new host (M9Bayonet.com and LatheTalk.com). I am going to get those two running as those two websites were with a really crappy host and I am really angry at them for changing things on me that caused a huge number of my websites to crash over a three day period.

This forum is sound and it is with a great host! I will not be moving Quarterbore.com BUT I AM PRETTY SURE that I will be merging the user base and all of the posts that are here to the new forums at EazyForums.com. I may well get rid of that "EazyForums" domain name as it was a $20 investment that gave me a place to screw around for a few days but people are finding the new domain...

Thanks for the feedback - - I appreciate it!

It is no longer a secret... Here is the new forums!!!

www.Quarterbore.net

I will work on merging all the forums as soon as I can!
