Unless Teddy and Alex are that freakin' amazing and made this forum by themselves? :batface:
The forum software that we use is phpBB (http://www.phpbb.com/). I wish that we could develop something like this. It really is an amazing piece of work. Although, we have spent quite a bit of time styling the forums to make it fit into the Nolan Fans - Year 2 theme. That shouldn't be discounted. ;)

On the quick reply feature: we can easily implement this here. I'm not really sure if we've discussed this before, but I'm not too fond of the "quick reply." I feel that a quick reply feature discourages longer and more throughly constructed, thought-out forum posts. The chatroom fulfills the need for a more instant back-and-forth discussion.

Well, its not really for a back-and-forth discussion like a chatroom. It's more of a convenience really, having the box on the same page as the discussion.

But you guys are the bosses. ;)

I must have missed that reason too. I'm with chee on the convenience area, but I don't particularly mind a separate post page. It's just another extra ping on the server.

The extra ad impression that we get is well worth the ping. ;)

That as well. :lol: My personal experience is that ad impressions don't really pay a lot, but well, you do try to get the most of everything, right? No harm in that. :lol:
