I totally understand what everyone is saying here.
First, I will say this again, one year is a date that is not set in stone. If we feel there is a lot of value at the end of one year we can consider an extension.
The goal here is to provide a single sign on experience. That was not possible with Vbulletin.
There are some serious security reasons as well. You may notice the new site is 100% https.
Vbulletin has never been able to effectively prevent spammers and hackers.
The new forum should effectively put up a huge road block to that problem. Since we now write and maintain the signup code, we can assure your data is much more secure than software where the source code is public.
I am not happy that we had to make this transition either. It's not something we take lightly. However, it has to be done.
We need to identify the best items on this site and make them available on the new forum or in another format, such as help articles.
None of us want to loose the content available on this site. So long as it continues to provide good value to our users we will continue to provide access.Dan Park,

Hey Dan, I get it, you guys definitely have your reasons, but there are a few navigational issues that should be solved if possible.
1. Newest posts on top of window
2. An easier way to attach attachments, I just tried with a new post and also a post I was editing and I did not see the ADD ATTACHMENT OPTION. I had to start a new REPLY, maybe I am missing something..... whatever, I could not find it.
BTW, is this CA's forum format you guys created or are you guys using something akin to vbulletin that I assume is an OOB program that you guys bought off the shelf, just curious.D. Scott Hall (The Bridge Troll)

The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.
We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.
If you are interested in keeping abreast of any new videos, please subscribe to my channel at YOUTUBE...... channel is ds hall
