OK, as you know these forums, along with the whole site really, are generally functional but still in dire need of updating. I can no longer do some things on these forums, others are a PIA, and, as we all know, sometimes the darn things don't even load (oh, you thought you were the only one seeing Data Error pages?)

So, Nick and I have talked about new forums...and how to go about adding them. As those of you who saw my post on Facebook awhile back know, one issue with a lot of forum software (certainly vbulletin like we've had since day 1) is....their coding assumes logging into the forums is 'home'. Years ago Nick hacked an autologin so that logging into the site also logged you into these forums....which has always been a little problematic and these days is why you can sometimes click a link to another page on the site from here and have to do it twice to actually go there.

But, the reality is, Nick's time has been far too limited between a busy job, 3 kids, coaching sports....well, some of you know better than I how tight time can get with young kids.

Still, we've talked about creating forums completely separate from the site- meaning a separate log in on a separate domain.

That may still happen, but in the meantime, there's this- I could create a subreddit on Reddit in less time than it took for me to type this post.

So how many of you have a reddit account? And how many of you that don't would be OK with creating one in order to have a forum that actually loads without frustration?
