It's good to see people coming back again.
This forum has it's pros and cons... the theme was much easier to modify than the phpbb was, that's for sure. I'm not happy about some of the missing features, but they're mostly things that are "behind the scenes" so most people won't notice a difference.

Seems a little less slipshod, if you catch my meaning.

I think this software is based on the YABB software, it's very similar. YABB is outdated, phpbb is definately better. But you know what they say... you get what you pay for.

I guess I could always make an official rule: "Changing your name too often shall result in a ban" or something like that. It might not be a bad idea to make such a rule, but the potential problem doesn't seem to be as bad as I originally thought. It appears that when one changes their display name, it changes in all previous posts by the same user. That should prevent all the 'sock puppet' shenanigans that was going on over at GLP.

Long time lurker - very long time at the old Apollo Hoax board. Same for the BABB - although I have posted once or twice over there. Nice to see the forum up and running again... hopefully all the HB'ers will find their way here for more fun.

Long time lurker - very long time at the old Apollo Hoax board. Welcome, Bbabu. I'm glad you decided to de-lurk. Nice to see the forum up and running again... hopefully all the HB'ers will find their way here for more fun. If we can get the old apollohoax.com domain pointed to this site then maybe they'll start to come back. If not, I fear it may be quite some time before this site's activity begins to pick up.

We actually have two names... a username (used for logging in etc.) that doesn't allow spaces, and a display name that everyone else sees. The display name can have spaces. You can actually change your display name any time you want, which I think could cause problems... imagine someone like Ong or xoox changing their name any time they feel like it. Funny you should mention ol' buddy Ong(aka RRBum, RailroadBum, werewolf etc) When the old ApolloHoax went down I wondered what he would think if he tried to access his old posts there and found the website gone. I did not bother telling him, I am still yakking on his pravda thread which is up to 1055 pages long now. Anyway, glad the new forum is up and running. oh, and I won't bother telling ong about the new forum.

Good we have our alpha site back and good we still have the spacey theme for the most part.
No private forum?
