Delphy, I have been posting @ Oasis the update of the last few pages here, especially the VB vs SMF talk. Also the customizations you have offered. They will be along soon, but I am sure that they don't care about what servers or whatever is used, they just want their forums back.
Being an INSim member for 2.5 yrs, and sometimes contributer, I can care less either. I don't need pretty, forum sites to chat just need to see what been going on in the community and look at the contests. That's all the pretty I want right now. Oasis has been going on for a few days now and you should see all the posting and gathering that is going on there. It's heartwarming.
Okay ready for my boiling in the crockery now for being soppy. Can I haz a little rum to ease the pain?
EDIT: Oh yeah! Do want easier search whatz-ama-gig. No tech savvy here.
