EDIT: I'm a programmer.. NOT an artist ! I suck at creating nice logos and layouts.. so i might need someone to help a bit.
There's lots of us here with graphics abilities. I'm willing to help with the graphics if you need it. |

OK, so i have a basic phpBB installation done under http://futur.maaca.orgPlease, everyone interrested to help build that new forum, join it and give your comments. Try it, see what works and what doesnt. Try the things you would expect to be able to do etc... I'll go by the list and try to fix/modify things. Please dont pm me for everything, just post in the "Comments and suggestions" forum of the new site. Thanks. |

Hi, this is just to let everyone know that i will be installing phpBB in a day or two. The way i will do it is simple: 1. I will install it under another vhost, probably "test.maaca.org". 2. The current forum will stay untouched while we test the other. 3. Everyone will be able to join the new one to b**** and moan about how crap it is compared to eBlah and how it doesnt do this and that  4. I will try to fix it and implement all the suggestions to make it a forum we like. 5. Once all members are happy with it, i will move the eblah forum under "archive.maaca.org" and make it read-only. That way we lose nothing.. 5. phpBB forum will be moved to themain maaca domain and be the only one we use from then on. 6. I am NOT planning to convert the userbase with a converter, i seen there was one a few years ago thou. i may give it a try but i'd rather start fresh. If you want to have a quick idea of how a fresh phpBB install looks like, you can have a look at one i did a few months ago for testing purpose: http://www.flashtavie.com/forumI hacked that one for leaderboard pubs at the top and bottom, ours will be different. I'll keep you all posted then the new one is up so we can all start to brainstorm on how to make it better. Sylvain

phpbbs if the sysops (admins) want to set and forget with minimal maintenance. joomla if you like to fiddle, tweak and expand the board into more of a CMS driven resource centre with a lot of researched sticky material and interactive features. I think we generally fall into the first category, and phpBBS is more like E-Blah. Cheers to Sylvain (Azatotht) for pushing this through while the rest of us were trying to best our high scores!  |

PHPBB is more like eblah but not eblah. Albeit eblah is no longer!!! |

woo hoo! I'll be top poster on there in no time Seriously though, I like phpBB.. very easy to use from both a user and an op point of view. I've always thought eblah was very scattered and not very pretty to look at.. I do like the "quick reply" feature, though. |

You can Use Joomla for whatever you want it to be. Sales, dating, forums, video sharing, file sharing, picture gallery....... in short, ANYTHING. There are so many extensions and components it would make your head spin. However, I do think phpBB is a good direction for MAACA. I was merely stating that there was another option. |
