i liked the old old boards. the style that was up right after we got the slug. there was a navigation bar on the right at all times and stuff.

then we got the forums.sabres.com and it took some getting used to, but it was good. once the NHL did their thing, I tried logging in and hated the layout and everything so much i didn't post anymore. i popped in the other day and say a thread asking where everyone was, and good old bill schultz in typical format, said something like:

they have all
gone to other sites
because this one
has issues with
clarity and navigation.
most of them
are still active
on other boards.

He tried...I tried to help him...he couldn't log in and I have no idea why.
I generally have no issues talking people through technical issues...

Feel free to reach out to him again though.

I like these boards better.

Basically no one ever got banned at the old place, long after it was deserved.

I miss some aspects, though.

The FuseTalk ones (gray layout)? Those were awful - they were the ones that we had from black and red until shortly into blue and gold (although it had a changable background).

Seriously, something like 40 users at once could crash the thing.

Plus at one time there were no custom avatars - only a selection of pre-chosen cartoons. And they didn't allow for image embedding or anything.

Invision (forums.sabres.com) was the best - it was a good interface and worked well. But again, there were times in which the webmaster(s) didn't maintain it properly and features didn't work.

But remember the Private Topics in Fuse Talk? Stuff like the bored board club or whatever. Ah, good times.

PHPBB3 beats them all though.

I remember when I just lurked, and folks would reference the private topics all the time. I forgot all about them until now.

The Gutter. The good old days. I don't think there's anyone left here from it except, Howie, Yankee, SF4, and myself. We've lost Raddog, Gil, LetsGoBflo, Fitty, SG14221, FanMiro(?), GKW, & BillSchultz.

I have noticed several new members (here) recently. I wonder where they're coming from? Maybe they saw Yhoshi post the link over on the WPoD boards. I'm often tempted to put it on the Official fb site, but don't want an open invite to 60,000 people.

Even though he wasn't a member of The Gutter, I still think fondly of our little buddy The Bowler. :|

Meh, I always say the more the merrier really.

new blood is always a good thing. if someone acts like an ass, you dont have to put up with it. the old boards were a democracy, this forum? not so much. (i dont mean that in a negative light. i mean if someones an ass, they can go to strike 3, just like that)

Well this is very close, but he isn't using Invision like the old boards.

This is using php BB or something like that.

Some Mods are quicker to pull the trigger than others. I've been on the receiving end of some nastiness, but I figure that is just part of message board communication. I don't favor banning anyone unless there is an ongoing pattern of dickishness that is disrupting the boards.

Bill is a bit long in the tooth; and he tends to forget things very quickly. He may have been told we moved over here, but by the time he went to enter this sites address, he'd forgotten what he was told......., and maybe even where he was! ;)
