I admit that I'll miss eblah. It's very easy to use and is quite fast. It's a shame it's now so unreliable.
I think everyone agrees, eblah has it's good points and it's very straight forward and simple. It's a shame to lose it. But sometimes you just gotta move on and let the chips fall where they will.

Now one thing we could do is host both, but turn off all posting and sign-ups on the old MAACA - so it's just a reference archive - for Google. I wonder if that will work - disable PM and emailing from the old e-blah and just point everyone to continue in the new forum. Bet you wouldn't notice a difference after 6 months or so. same old crowd. same jokes, same compaints. and those damned Hollywood Heats and Hyperballs going back and forth...

The platform was stable for the longest time. Are you sure it isn't a compatibility issue with something else they upgraded on the server?
The forum is a pretty powerful tool which allows you to use embedded code. It would be a shame to lose a lot of it's functionality. The interface is pretty easy to use.

I don't understand all the rigamarol about the server... I have offered a good one for free.... the only problem is set-up time/manpower at the moment. For gods sake how am I supposed to do it when I have to answer all these MAACA posts.....
In any case, I've been enjoyiong the 500 errors. got me back my life, I can actually take pee breaks and talk to my family instead of waiting to try to beat Gory to the post for a free Firepower.... or that mythical $2000 GNR ... or that damned Silver Slugger that got scooped right from under my nose...
I do remember growing up in Vancouver where we were all given a map to the air raid shelters, and practiced in school for "bomb drills" - their answer at the time - "Hide under your desk." I also remember praying at night that if THEY did drop the bomb, I would be at episcentre so that I wouldn't have to live through what the Japanese in Hiroshima, and Nagasaki lived through.
