This community is a success. Everyone plays the game and knows the score, which is to the credit of all.
But successful organisations must always be thinking and looking to the future, to grow, to develop, to stay relevant to modern times.
This thread can serve as our steering group to discuss and develop a business case for organisational change. Once key themes are agreed they can be voted upon.
To kick us off:
Should we stay here, in the Creataforum ecosystem?
Should we go to Proboards?
Should we find something better, cutting edge such as up to date vBulletin?
What steps can be taken to ensure nobody can ever come along and turn us off or shut us down? There will always be grasses after all.
And finally, is it ever going to be possible to unite the boards and bring peace to the realm?
Considered thoughts on all matters please.
Personally I’d rather post on pro boards, I’d probably post more if we were on there.
I understand that might result in a few votes to remain here though.

So much business-speak! Next we'll be having team meetings over Zoom!
Here are my thoughts:
Should we stay here, in the Creataforum ecosystem?
I'm quite happy with this, but not adverse to change. Ideally, we'd be on a board which had a few more options such as an online calendar we can update with fixtures and key dates.Should we go to Proboards?
As above.Should we find something better, cutting edge such as up to date vBulletin?

After ErchieBairdsBar's recent complaint, grassing is indeed a concern. Making it a private forum could be an option, but only once we have more posters IMO.And finally, is it ever going to be possible to unite the boards and bring peace to the realm?
I think it could be. Maybe this year's newly crowned POTY could have it as a new years resolution to start negotiations with Faniel the Spaniel? Reading between the lines, he does seem rather power hungry but we'd have nothing to lose and it would be a laugh just to see his reaction? What other boards are there anyway?
Thanks for taking the time to address these concerns, Pete. I am 100% behind a move to Proboards.

Faniel likes his wee group of pillow fluffers. He doesn't like being called out for the junkie waste of space that he is.
I'm not really bothered if its this board or a different layout tbh.

What will it take to buy your vote, Mr Rambo?
I’ve got used to using here on mobile, but Proboards was better.
I'll go with whatever providing the numbers are in my favour
Quite a few guests looking in. I’d hazard a guess that our development and expansion plans are causing some disquiet in the Little Kingdom.
What are the benefits of proboards compared to this?

Far easier to navigate and a lot more user friendly.
I'll go with the opposite of Hardliner 😀
Seriously though Proboards would be my choice

In that case I'll take your lead and call for proboards too Brother AJ.
There seems to be a broad consensus regarding a move to Proboards.
Let’s put it to the vote in short order.
If that is indeed the outcome then great, however can I suggest some timelines?
This place was set up in a knee jerk rush and as we can all see isn’t perfect. So I would aim to make it happen ahead of Awards season and if that didn’t land then immediately after awards season.
Nothing can get in the way of Awards season; I think we would agree on that.
With a bit of lead in time we can configure something new that will have the best possible user experience and have all modern bells and whistles. And I need to unravel the domain name and bring it across.
The ethos, “rules” and democratic structure would remain the same unless there is any vote to change any of that. It’s important that we be free of tyranny and all posters have freedom in equal measure in these days of censorship.
