Yuku


So ezboard will be yielding to Yuku. Is a migration date (or even month) known yet?

 

More to the point, would it behoove* us to establish a presence in yuku now? even if we're not into the Packers or NFL enough to justify joining lambeauleap. net?

Or would it be just as well to let you Packerheads stumble through first and learn the yuku quirks before brewerfan.net migrates?

 

Oh - and will there be any way to preserve our more classic threads? Like most WOAH SOLVDD content? I realize maybe it's too early to answer some of these questions.

 

* = vocabulary builder!

Remember: the Brewers never panic like you do.

If I were you, I'd hold out as much as possible.

 

I think I finally know my way around it pretty well now, but that doesn't mean it's easy to navigate. It's still a beta version right now, and there are a lot of bugs that Yuku needs to fix. So, unless you're feeling fairly temerarious*, wait until until the eleventh hour to switch.

Yeah, i'm going to hold out on transferring Brewerfan over until the last second. I used Yuku for Leambeauleap so I could become more familiar with it before the inevitable happens.

 

So far, i'm not terribly impressed with Yuku. They seem more interested in gimmicky functionality than useful stuff.

[ Why are they getting rid of EZboard in the first place? Its my favorite board style out there. ]

 

Yeah, it's very disappointing. Oh well, they won't be getting our $1500+ a year. While I think phpBB might be in our future, at least temporarily, perhaps this dissatisfaction is going to finally lead me to write my own sports-oriented message board software.

Alright, I think i'm going to break down and try a phpBB board.
Brian,

 

If you switch, would transferring existing threads be out of the realm of possibility? Mainly, I'm concerned about all of Jim's wonderful link reports. Even if they could somehow be maintained in a read-only format, that'd be cool.

That’s the only thing Chicago’s good for: to tell people where Wisconsin is.

Worst-case scenario, i'd build some kind of extraction program to screen-scrape the old forums.... I do think that ezBoard however has some kind of back-up facility that will make the job easier.
