I guess this message board will be going down for about a day. Just learned about it this morning. Here's to hoping the new version is a little more stable and we don't lose any of our posts.

And the only feature that sounds like it'll actually be worth anything...

Wow. Thanks for the insight, Comrade. Good work!
The drop down menu to navigate pages sounds like a good idea. We don't really have many threads that warrant something like this except for the NP and Recent Shows thread, but regardless there's a lot of good info buried in there.
EDIT: Whoa...there's actually a ton of cool stuff they're going to be adding. This is just the tip of the iceberg, but what sounds most promising to me are:
1. Protection against publicly displaying your E-Mail in your profile to being picked up by spam bots.
2. A Notes section will be added to individual users which can be viewed by admin only.
3. Custom titles for regular users (!!!!!!!) along with a new detailed ranking system. This is a very cool option, by the way. Now we just need to come up with some ranks...
4. Admin can lock a user's account for x number of days.
5. Ability to bookmark threads and directly view them from your individual profile.
6. Introducing a calendar system...which looks like it's going to be primarily used for keeping track of user's birthdays, but it sounds like you can use it for anything. Listing shows, for instance!
7. Ability to upload files to a post and list it as an attachment.
8. "Hidden Catagories". Very fucking cool!
9. Detailed stats showing how many people have contributed to certain threads and whatnot. I'm a stats geek, so stuff like this make me happy.
10. Mass deletion. Very handy if this forum ever gets spammed by trolls.
11. I'll be able to link the KitF logo at the top of the page back to KitF.com
12. The ability to choose how many posts can be viewed per page.
13. Address Book added to the PM's so you don't have to remember the user name or find a post of somebody you need to PM.
There's going to be about 120 improvements and enhancements, but these are the one's I'm most interested in. Very cool stuff.

I wonder if the custom titles have to be given out or if users can give titles to themselves... By the way, if anyone wants to come up with ranks throw them at us. We've discussed this between staff members and come out pretty much empty handed. |

We've discussed this between staff members and come out pretty much empty handed. I've never seen a board that allows users to give themselves titles. Hopefully this won't be any different. It would be cool to have ranks based on actual album names like "Hell Fuck Demon Sound" and "Frozen Corpse Stuffed With Dope". |

What's the first one you're quoting? I know the second one is Agoraphobic Nosebleed.
We should definetely have "Get Up And Kill!" as a rank.

But you can order pizza with any three toppings you want. If you want olive, you can order olive. If you want mushroom, you can order mushroom. If you want pineapple, you can order pineapple.

Ha! I love that. I'm always quoting, "If I want pineapple, I can order pineapple!".

I still think Geico has the best commercials.
"And a little aside to the people of Grand Rapids...I didn't know that was meatloaf."
You know what else is really fun? Imagining yourself smashing the guy who does the Enzyte commercials in the face with a golf club.
