Converting to a new forum system

[flyboy 28]

I all ask is that we keep the blue and white. It makes it more cozy.

There may be a little change between the styles, but I think the blue and white should be able to stay ^^

Admins - I would like to offer my help in setting up the style for the phpBB forums so it mirrors this style as much as possible.

Something just occured to me... I realised that I should check that phpBB had a rank system. Luckily it does!! I think it works a little differently, it still goes by number of posts and is self defined but the image is set by the admin. So we could have something a little different from the 5 stars and such. Maybe a different aircraft for each stage? For example working up from a Cessna (1 star) to a 747 (5 star)?

On the phpBB website there is a set of rank images with the rank stripes used on airlines
would be pretty suited tot he nature of the forums I think

also, like wingo, I don't mind helping with the switch-over if there is anything i can do. Would be nice to give something back to the V after using it so much. Just waiting until I turn 18 now so I can join

We've been over this before. I don't think we want the rating system. Besides, now that I'm over 10k, I don't really care either.

LOL i understand ALL the benefits of upgrading, but i like the current one its more Relaxed and cosy for my liking, and is very easy to operate and understand. But thats just me. But if a new forum means better performance and quality i think its a good idea.
