>I vote to keep the current forum.
I do, too. This forum is not that bad. I can deal with it being slow loading. The losing posts thing is a bit annoying, but I personally don't think there is enough payoff to justify paying for a better forum or getting all the resources together and devoting the time to set up and run a JAC forum ourselves.

I agree to this. Personally I wouldn't mind the "you must log in" thing as long as there as a way to post annonymously because then probably you get more options, such as being able to edit a post you made. Plus I hopefully wouldn't have to type in information like name and email every time I wanted to post. I could just log in instead. ^O^

I at least am grateful for the work she has done for JAC all these years. :) It is a bit hard not to take things personally, though, when you work your absolute hardest to get something right and then find out someone else doesn't like it or thinks your work is lacking something. ._.

Yes they can. But so can anything else that involves dealing with other people. ^O^
