Hey guys! Today I ask you a question that I have mulled over for almost a year now... now that it seems feasible, I'd like to put the question directly to you guys.
Invisionfree has come out with a new board system by the name of Zetaboards. It's shiny, it's new, it's awesome- but it's not the Invisionfree we know and love. I can find no reason anymore not to switch. The reason I haven't put the question to you before is because no skin was available that fit our needs. However, I've located a fabulous skin that looks very similar to the one we have currently, and looks much better. It would be a big move, so I just want to put the question to you all first- to switch or not to switch? I have below a list of new features that come with Zetaboards, including personal blogs and more. I want to switch. I just want to know if you do. This is a switch that will happen far in the future- I can't see it happening in 2008. This would be SQ 4.0. Depending on this vote, I will or will not put SQ in the conversion line. After we get a suitable number of votes, I'll let you know what's happening. I want some input, people!

Ooh, I like this... It sounds nice, but it would be a lot of work for us!
VOTE PEOPLE VOOOOTE!
From what I've seen of it so far... I like invisionfree better. It's got a lot of great new features, but isn't as developed as a community yet.
But it is realllllyyy cool. So... either way I think it'd rock. :lol:
Do you really? Zeta hasn't got many users yet, mainly because the boards are being converted by hand and it takes ages, so there isn't a big community yet, no. But I don't really think that that's important, personally. This is something far in the future, it's not something we particularly need. It's not going to happen soon if we do in fact want it to happen.
Wordy- there actually isn't much work involved for you and me. ^^
