The Dink Network

Again, all those people you list would be there, but will have to abide by the new forum's rules or risk punishment/banning. Nobody will be banned before it even starts. This is why at first I suggested just replacing this forum completely, but I understand Skull's argument that if we'd do that, there would be no good place to fall back to and it might end up causing more harm than good. I don't understand what's so different about upgrading this forum to a version of vBulletin or something compared to having a new one, that's vBulletin driven. If Redink were still active here, I'm sure he would have upgraded the forum to something like that anyway by now.

Skull is not out for power here, he's out to conserve what's left to conserve. I'm still struck by Sharp coming here and leaving again the same minute because of all the negativity around here. But, seeing how this garners so little support and most of the members who constantly complain about the annoying people are silent in this thread, I'm tempted to just give up myself, in which case I don't know how I can keep up my positive attitude.

Of course, as always, those who are so against it usually have their own hides to salvage. Reminds me of politics and the corruption there.
