LOWEST MORTGAGE RATES IN THE WORLD ---> HERE :o :o :D

I was wondering about this thread in the first place, but sometimes the weirdest threads turn into some of the best ones.

There's always the chance of me splitting the topics...

Done, and done.

That is one thing I like better about this forum package, the splice and merge feature. The crappy one we have at NA doesn't allow for that.  I am sure there is an option for it somewhere, just need to dig to find it.  Wasn't an issue before, but we are getting so busy we need it now.

SMF is highly customizable. I like it a lot. It's sooo easy to work with if you know the basics of php. I don't even know the basics, but I still manipulated the php files enough to craft what I find to be an aesthetically pleasing forum. SMF is great, but doesn't the NA package come with the database used to post all the games, etc.? I figured that's why you all used that forum ('cause it came with the database).

As an aside, I work in school district and, without even realizing I was doing it, I named a file about the age you must to be to drop out from school "DropoutAGE" -- Dain's marketing is working. :D

All of our stuff runs on coldfusion, including the forum package.  That forum software is like 1200 bucks, and it still isn't that great.  Dain hasn't tweaked the code yet cause he is so busy with other stuff for the site.  We only have coldfusion on our servers and not even php.  We thought about getting a yabb for vbuttetin though, they are both easy and user friendly.

That is pretty funny JC, lol.  I think you have to play it on AtariAGE more than NA though since it was around first.

It's official, NintendoAGE is the most active NES forum out there. Just logged in today to see new posts...yowza. The only downside is the whole set-up sucks. It's so confusing. I couldn't find the reply button at all.

Yeah, it has been so freaking busy the last 2 weeks over at NA.  I haven't even been able to read all the posts cause all my time has been on Metroid Prime 3 as of late.  Dain says he has made some nice mods to the forum package so make it more user friendly.  Plus lots of new features like actually having a member list finally.  It should get better.

JC, I also sent you a PM.
