The Option B board style doesn't look all that much different, just a bit more fancy-shmancy. If you're looking for a new server though ( ) he-man.org and toynewsi.com are kinda neat. Umm...hope it works out...

Hey, Rob, what happened to my post count? It can't be just because you got rid of LHQ-- Then, Frantie woulda lost close to 2,000 for all the Llance pic posts there!
It's not really what they DID as what the DIDN'T do, which was post there. Robby busted his butt setting up LHQ for Legion fans who were disenfranchised with the new DC boards. The majority of them were even LESS enamored of the hijinx of the beloved and illustrious NBz, and fled in fear of the dread LLANCE onslaught of '03. Since then, it's pretty much been Llancey's (and Franta's!) playpen and an eater of bandwidth. Rob did well to delete it.

Well, after reading this thread I almost forgot what this was about... :)
Rob, you know I am in the same boat as you with the POW. It's really us that are POW's. Prisoner's of this companies lamebrained skillz.
Not that my opinion matters much but I do have suggestions.
The Board: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" It only broke because of Pow-Web. You cant just Copy and paste boards obviously, but these things are not so obvious to the POW. There are other boards but I dont think most of them have the flexibility of UBB (or the support in general on ubbdev), while usually lacking in good code as well. Thus the price difference I suppose. I am sticking with UBB for good or evil, this mostly due to lack of crashes and again, flexible code in conjunction with mods and hacks. The far above mentioned boards I would avoid, I like the possible (and current) looks of UBB. UBB does have the elite service which is supposedly easily upgraded to, including the hacks.
The service: "We gotta get outta this place" They screwed me several times, and their guarantee of 99% uptime is laughable. Try 90% at best. Plus, there is no guarantee. And on a technical standpoint, they have pissed me off many times, your's Rob being the last.
I am definetly getting another service and while the download and upload of the boards is a lot of work I think the price is worth it for the future.
Here are a couple links to reviews of Web Hosts, notice Pow web is not ever listed as a good service, its mentioned in passing as a decent "deal". We all know now that it's not, an end-user should never have to put in a call or e-mail, ridiculous...
I am thinking about Lunar Pages but haven't decided yet.
Either way, Pow web is way gonna be subfucked by something major in the way of my technical boot in their server's ass. I dont care at this point if they find out.
Another option is Dedicated Hosting. On a dedicated host, they would never ever move your stuff to another computer without first consulting in depth.
yes, yes. all well and good, what with the llance boobies and all.

please, if you will, preview this page. its a little unnecessarily over bearing and cluttered, but... it could be the future home of the rkmbs.
the link takes you to whats called a "portal" page. its got all sortsa crazy shit, like newest members, a 'shout out box,' calander, important announcements, etc.
its like a "before the forum" page. you can access the boards by clicking the "main index" link up top, or directly, by just going here
