No disrespect but prefer old site

Rummpd,

Just an explanation for the change. Though ezboard may have seemed more simple and had a more homey feel. We had to upgrade; I couldn't take it at ezboard anymore.

You were probably not on the forum often enough to notice, but ezboard had major problems during the last six months. There was significant downtime, sometimes days at a time. Every time when there was supposed to be 10 minutes of downtime for server service, it would go on for days.

Also, there was bugs in the system that just weren't getting fixed. For example, a problem with the custom les that was supposed to be fixed in two days took over three months to get fixed. And their customer service response about problems was horrendous.

I couldn't imagine continuing to pay money for a service that I had no control over and had so many problems with.

vBulletin is the best message board software that exists. It's extremely customizable and you control where your board is hosted. (ezboard was hosted on ezboard) It will end up being more expensive than ezboard, but I don't care. The most important thing to me is keeping the board up. And though I know we won't have 100% uptime, whatever we will have will be better than what ezboard was giving us.

I much prefer this new board.

It has a slicker look and a lot more features.

Well if this is the thread to voice our complaints....Here goes....

I think that some of you take Lakers fans for granted. Yes, I know that's a disturbing accusation, but it's true. I mean, we could be sipping Martinis at the beach rather than sharing with you our invaluable round-ball insight that only comes from being there for all that bling-bling throughout our rich & storied history. I realize that most of you love rubbing elbows with us celebrities, but there are a few that still don't get it. We should pray for them...

I was born and raised here in California and, although I've never, ever given a dime to Kori or LJ to support their hard work, diligence and tremendous efforts to put this fabulous media in place, I believe in every fiber of my being that they owe me, but then again, so does every other So Cal because that's not just the way we are, but the way we choose to be...

I don’t like all this silver & black that adorns this place, either. It's like an old ’I Love Lucy' episode, whereas a little Purple & Gold would give this place that Technicolor effect....you know, bring this place into the 21 Century...

I thought Texans were known for their oil, not their whine - which is what too many of you do way too much...Wah....04 is no fair...Wah...The Fakers are Sterns Darlings....Wah...Our Schedule is too hard...Wah....The Large Market Teams Get All the Calls!!!!

Hey Guys & Gals...It’s all true.... Suck it up & Deal with it OK? There's going to come a time when there might not be a Lakers fan nearby to put you in your place and boy, will you look stupid.

There are too many threads about Tony Parker. Who's Tony Parker?

There are too many threads about all this nonsense in Eagle, Colorado! Let’s not forget what really matters in life... 3 rings and counting!!! And her husband, Kobe, has a few too!

Lakers have no rivalry with the Miami Heat...Most of us don’t know the difference between Orlando or Miami...Lakers fans could not name three players on either team....Stop posting quotes from big fat guys on these teams....We could care less what they say or what they think!!!
