This sounds great, since the main site is bunches o' fun. Just wondering though (no pressure) if the site's just being moved or if it's being updated as well?

I've lurked and posted at the Bad Buffyfic Invision board and I like it. It allows you to go back and edit posts, which is a nice feature. It also has many options like adding spoiler space and stuff like that. I haven't spent a lot of time there but it seems to be a good product and a good choice. My only complaint is that they don't allow two-character usernames. I had to sign in as AC1. But that's a small price to pay for not being impersonated. It's more user-friendly as well, although the user-friendliness actually makes it a little more frustrating for us geeky types. Again, not a biggie.

I for one am looking forward to playing with the Invision setup. I think it has lots of possibilities. Thanks for doing all the work to move us!

I know we get frustrated and you have a life too, and we hardly ever holler for you unless things are getting yucky. So I wanted to say thanks for all the work you've put into letting us have a place to play, and getting us a new, fun playground.

AC (yes, the real one. Stupid troll.)
