It's boring right now. It'll pick up. I posted a lot of stuff to get the ball rolling, but when I got mad at the mod for switching a board I was posting on he said that since I was posting everywhere he didn't think it mattered or something like that. So now I only post if I really, really see a comment I want to reply to.

Also rumor (albeit a confirmed one) has it this is temporary and the old VBoards is coming back. Maybe others are waiting for that. Or could be most who have given it a chance and just prefer it here.

Not that we haven't plugged it enough but here are a few other threads on the topic for reference:
Maher Fourms - Who's going back?
Friends (and enemies:D) who are still MIA?
Bill Is Back!
Maher boards back up!

MarkMiller,

Thanks for the info. Why bother with phpBB at all? Weird.

Yes, I read some of those threads, but none really explain exactly what the @#$% is going on.

I don't think there is any explanation to this sort of thing. When they opened Bill's board back up I fully expected this place to go back to being a graveyard again so who knows and we've been very open to spreading the word about his site here.

I think it may just be that right now, there is no huge pressing need to post there. Trying to get a rhythm going again may take time as the clunks work themselves out. The season on Bill Maher ended rather abruptly. So there are no new topics from the show.

The biggest hold up seems to be learning a new system. Everyone knows it's there and I've seen a lot of people on the site from here. It will evolve.

I bet if/when they get the old board going again it will be just like home. Sounds like they are working on that.

Also...from my point of view, this is a familiar set up with familiar people. You can't just replace that.
