It's probably just a coincidence, or maybe my imagintation, but it seems like there has been a lot more activity on this board since Phil updated the software. I'm starting to get used to it and I would say it is a change for the better. I don't mind registering and I am certain registration on it's own will not kill a bulletin board - just look at the Anarchy pages.
Thanks Phil for the quick responses to issues and for hosting this board.
