We need your feedback, all of you...

Thanks for all your feedback, please don't stop, we need it all so that we do make the right decisions on the path we take. Be sure of one thing, we made a pledge that we would never resort to taking on advertising as a means of support. For those of you that might remember our past, this is on of the major reasons that Big Blue was begun. For those of you that don't know, our old forum, "The Gauge", morphed into a revenue producing forum being run by big business where we lost our identity and had no say in how it was run. Nay, you won't see ads on Big Blue nor the influence of anyone but us and our devoted members, and we thank them over and over again for each one of you for your support.

We don't want to make changes for change itself, but we do need to reduce the risk of having problems and losing data. We have enough storage and bandwidth to house photos on site, to be sure, we encourage that because we've had members lose whole threads of photos when their links change to another site.

Our goal here is to make it easy to upgrade and do backups, and to maintain our database intact. If we do change platforms, we want to be able to take advantage of any features that will improve our site. We don't want to lose anything in the process either so we're going to approach this with lots of caution and lots of testing before we let lose.
