Yuku free message boards

xanax, that's an excellent poll, thanks for putting it up.

From a staff point of view I must admit that I prefer the yuku format, because the MSN format could hide bugs we'd never detect.
If view or topic count were off on those boards, we'd never know it. I've also seen boards with public main security while most forums are private, but they are displayed in the sidebar. So people get a 404 error unless they accidentally click on the correct forum. If they don't, it looks like the board is broken. Also, while we were doing MSN migrations, some boards already had the MSN format on their yuku board, it had to be removed because we couldn't see the data transferring and we couldn't work without seeing that.
If you use MSN format, say your admin made a forum public, you'd never be able to tell by looking at the directory. With the yuku format, you'd spot that right away.

Heh not trying to talk anyone out of using the MSN format, it is nice that people have a chance to use what they are used to, I just don't think it is the most comfortable set-up but that may be because I'm a kid that grew up on the yuku block.
