Mr_Pestilence -- all you're posts weren't actually DELETED, they just say they were posted by a guest now. That's it.
Nicknames: Everyone lost 'em. I still have to fix that.
Functionality: Plenty of new stuff. (Warning, I may get kinda technical)
* Coded in PHP, not Perl - more function, faster, and I can upload it myself
* Uses a mySQL backend, not flat files - an insane amount of times faster and much less server intensive
* mySQL backend also provides more functionality with relation too...
* searching. Full fledged searching
* mass move - move posts by user/date
* mass prune - prune by user/date
* create BB codes on the fly
* MANY more things I can set for each forum
* MANY more things you can set in your profile
* email capabilities
* create icons on the fly (well, actuall the old boards had that too, but its better this way)
* COPPA compliance if I ever decide to use it
* censoring
* create smilies on the fly
******** BIG ONE: EVERYTHING is controlled by web-editable templates *****
* set permissions for user groups (which means I can "group" users, too)
(Ok, so most of THAT stuff was backend.)
* private forums, if ever needed
* searching - its just that cool
* more preferences that can be set
* the "blue arrow"
* custom headers/footers for each forum
...and a bunch more.
Other than a few UBB tags, what did the old forum have that this one doesn't? (oh, speaking of those tags: they should be back soon... hopefully)
This one has more features and a much much better backend.
And one last thing: your name has the underscore back in it.
