Should the BBS be Opened up in a Separate Window?

Okay, that's enough! After Arwen left, this is just enough! We all love the board, but it's taking a [i:04393]huge[/i:04393] toll on [i:04393]so many[/i:04393] people's computers and drving them away! So I've decided to make this poll as a kind of petition thing to get the BBS back in a separate window! If you support it, then vote yes, if you don't support it, then vote no. And that's not the only reason, either. It's getting really annoying seeing tons of people complaining about this everyday when they could be talking about South Park! Most of the regulars are gone, and I'm afraid we're going to lose all of them unless this BBS becomes normal again. So if you support this, then vote yes. If you don't, then vote no. We just have to let the people up top see the overwhelming support for this. I'm sorry if this poll upsets anyone, but it had to be made.

Who the hell voted no?!

There are so many reasons why the BBS should be kept in another window! Just look at the WIDER BBS thread in the feedback forum!

Now Now, NSFY, everybody is entitled to their opinion even if we don't agree with them. We did all see a Douche and Turd episode.

It was probably a troll, but we still have to take the higher ground.

Although you're right, I still don't know why the hell anyone would vote no. NSFU is right.

Oh yeah, and first one to 50 votes sounds like a good idea.

I am just a stupid newbie right now, so I never knew about it being in a seperate window. Not bad of an idea though.

I remember last year, it was easier when the BBS was opened in a different window. I think now I agree it was better

I voted a definate 'yes'. The flash animation atop the screen causes the BBS to load slowly, and the displays on the right-hand side take up a lot of room. When someone posts a photo, it's annoying for it to have its own scrollbars.

I miss the days when it was in a seperate window.

I think it should be in the same window, but without all this distracting crap on the screen. It's also really pointless the way there is a 30k image rule to eliminate long load times, but then there's all this fancy animation, which takes a few seconds to load.

I agree with everything you just said, except I still think it should be in a separate window so that its easier.
