DSMCentral _ General Talk _ The future....
Posted by: mitsu90 Jun 21 2011, 01:29 PM
With the recent death of dsmpurity.com I think this is a great opportunity to fix the registration part of dsmcentral and open it up to many potential new members.

No feed back at all?

I think that's a good idea. However, to get this site registration fixed with-out problems from spam I would have to hire an IT guy.
So instead of doing that Evan has set-up a forum for DSMCentral on Facebook that anyone on Facebook can join. There hasn't been much activity there yet. Though it is ready for any and all conversations turbo, AWD or just banter between our members.
do you know how to get this information to the X-DSM Purity members?

There is a purity facebook that don't see much traffic either. I have been letting them know dsmcentral is here if they want a place to hang out.

Hmmm... This registration problem is a pain that no one has been able to fix without throwing away the history stored here.

I wish I new how this stuff worked..

I'm going to see what options we have. I know we liked the IP Board stuff, but honestly if I can get a conversion to PHPBB working, that would be the way to go since i'm so much more well versed with it, and their new anti-spam stuff seems to work fairly well. We may have to come up with a better option for things like the garage, but I know there are other ways to go for that as well. I have a test platform I can play with, so may try and pull down a copy of the database and see what I can do for conversions.
IMO, Facebook is a decent place to have a presence, but I know a lot of people still don't like it. So to have it as your forum, you're going to lose potential contributors. I myself prefer a standalone forum like this, even though I do use facebook. I check this a lot more than the facebook forum.
And sorry for the delay. Had to do the honeymoon thing last week

I tried to get some people over here but they were loyal to purity and it seems as if they have resurrected the name under a .net. I haven't given up hope for DSMC yet
