I'm not sure I want to provide the link here that explains the available exploits to our site, but there are a lot of them.

- No more Ads

Adblocker? I also don't seem to get any ad's on mobile. Not really sure if this is much of an issue. If you're not using an adblocker in 2018, what are you even doing?

- Security is vastly improved

What exactly does this mean? From what I can tell, there is essentially zero personally identifying information used on the site let alone payment information, etc. I could potentially see emails/site passwords being an issue but again, this is something that common sense (not using the same password for everything) comes into play.

- Site would be hosted by a real provider that is accountable for any down times

Accountable in what way? How would a regular user like me be "compensated" in any way, shape, or form from downtime.

- MyBB has a massive list of add-ons we can make use of, this opens it up to allowing us to replace create a player pages with forms to simplify the process, along with a ton of other improvements to the site.

This sounds interesting. Similar I'm assuming to what SCOR does which cuts down on work overall.

- Skins for jcink are somewhat limited, not many people make them anymore since the backend is forum software from 2004

The simplicity of the currently available skins, to me, is a positive. It also doesn't seem to look really like any other forum out there. When I'm here, I know I'm on the SHL.

- With MyBB we can assign individual members with the ability to add users to member groups. This would mean that GMs could add or remove users from Locker Rooms and position heads could manage their groups permissions. I believe this would help a lot with having the right people in the right permission groups.

Wouldn't the amount of effort it takes to make sure every single user has the right permissions when migrating be greater than or at least equal to the amount of effort it takes to make sure perms are correct for a bulk of seasons on the current site?


The "look" of the other forum is essentially a knock-off of every other standard forum out there. While the current site is way too busy, the other in its current iteration is just way too plain jane for my tastes. I'm probably in the minority.

I am excited about the move. But be ready for a lot of backlash.

This

Its all minor crap we dont really need. Were all functional here, whats the point of going through all the work, losing semi actives that wont follow and forcing everyone to learm n get used to new stuff just for new skins and a couple bonus features?

Just my opinion

I think a lot of opinions will change on this move once the forum itself is actually set up with a custom skin, some addons to make player creation + updating easier, hell I think it might be even worthwhile seeing if anybody on the site with the ability to can develop more SHL-specific addons. I think it's hard to see the benefits of this move since its very much in a beta/planning stage right now, but I think the final product has potential to be something really great and a lot better than we have now.
