hi,
for that login stuff, please contact me via email :
ok@kreuzinger.biz
and for the forum stuff i suggest you just make a new forum here and let the "masses" decide. as long as you use the BU forum too (i.e. react to requests, post news and anounce releases), people will start to switch, BU regulars will probably not use your ezboard board, thus some stuff will only happen here and you will probably start posting links to the BU forum in your ezboard.
so the main problem will be user convinience for double registering. if you can export your current user accounts i might be able to import them into the BU forum.
so even when i share the concerns PMB has, i also see the need for a soft switch, hey after all BU is supposed to be here for much longer than Cpl. Shrike has prepaid his board :-)
to speedup account creation, pls tell me in the mail, what you need from the wish list:
->email (proposed name ?)
-> http subdomain (shrikebot.bots-united.com ?)
-> ftp or scp upload
-> mysql database
and also i would like to know your realname (will be kept private to the council and me).
cheers
