Well, that's okay. Now that I know what the abbreviation is, I know what it is. :P
No, I think the first idea's going to be better then messing around with the control panels of the forums.
and what was the first idea?

If the votes reign for Yes, then I'll consult with Boss (other Forum Admin) to see what he thinks about it, then we can go ahead with it. However, it will only be a PREVIEW to see what people think of it. In other words, this phpBB board will run at the same time as the IPB board, depending on the vibes of our site's host. If the IPB board runs smoothly, people have no problems with it, and we can get the layout at least similar to this one (or a new Digimon-themed layout), then I'll ask the host to delete this phpBB board.
If the votes say No, or I hear of or come up with a good and significant reason not to switch boards, then duh, we won't do it! :P
That idea.
And I did hear something interesting from Reo.... He said that IPB is very iffy when it comes to adult-themed groups like this one. Something we'll have to research.
Oh, so IPB isn't open source? Not good... :(
I've looked at their website, and no, they aren't open source. Just because they allow a demo version doesn't mean they are, it's the license agreement that makes something OSS or not. And IPB most definitely isn't, while PHPBB is.
I think Da_Wolfe should just figure out how to get the settings we want out of this board software, and if all else fails find another good open-source board.
Etherkye, that's great that they don't know about it, but I'm not about to risk having the board shut down.
Now, I need to know what settings we want so that Boss and I know what to look for!
IP tracking OFF, so that if the goddamned FBI raids the DaD they can't find anyone and we can regroup someplace!
Good point, very good point.
Hmm... I would... but I don't really know how to. I've been back and forth over every inch of the admin panel at least four times and I couldn't find any option for that, if it's possible anyway. I'll try to find something out about it.
Anything else?
