Hope it works out. The poor mobile site must be something that's holding Zetaboards back now. An app would excellent.

The whole idea of forums seem to be on the wane now. I'd hazard a guess that the demographic of the site is now largely mid-thirties plus and we seem to be losing more posters than we replace.
What are people using instead of forums?

Newsgroups -> mailing lists -> forums -> ???

Please don't say facebook because even that's on the wane now as well

I really love the professional look of KDS, so not looking forward to this change :(

Other forums look 'clunky' in comparison, with horrible emoticons
Oh aye. I forgot about them. Just wait until you see Tapatalks smilies.... :twitch:

On the flip side, we'll lose emoticons like :arrr: which are pish and don't mean anything

Twitter in part, I would say. Folks that used to post on here are prolific on Twitter - often with friendships initially forged on KDS :ph43r:

Something else will come along as technology & online communities evolve.

Twitter is effing brutal. It's full of self opinionated arseholes, not like this place at all!

Hope it all goes well Fitz/Mods, you do a power of work for hee haw and we do appreciate it! :thumbsup:

Don't really know. I work with a 20yo guy who's a Rangers fan and he uses a Facebook group. It's unmoderated so anything goes in terms of streaming matches and balls-to-the-wall sectarianism. I like the atmosphere round here and the tidyness of it but I've been hanging about here for 13 years now. We're evidently the forum generation.

Thank you for your patronage all of these years. We volunteers wish that the outcome were different. We will do our best to answer questions, but please remember that this decision was not made by us and we know as much as you do about what is going on. As board owners ourselves, we are just as upset about this decision. We will continue to advocate for all board owners as long as we can. Thank You

Their support volunteers aren't happy. Further posts saying the owner has sold out.

There is a link to see what a particular forum would look like under TT. I tried it, but it just showed error. Might be we are a wee while away yet? Just reporting what I've read.

It's all definitely a concern, but we don't really have much choice but to strap ourselves in and go for a ride. I'm not sure that we'd be here without the guy who runs Zetaboards, so I find it hard to aim any kind of angst at him.

KDS will be different, but then it would be different if we were to somehow negotiate the release of the huge DB and member list, then try to migrate it to a completely different host of our choosing.

My worst fear was that we were going to be forced to adopt the horrible, standard, Tapatalk skin that was highlighted earlier. Thankfully we're going to get some leeway to skin the site to get a bit closer to this one.

A gin-soaked Tory troll who frequented KDS for many years. Looks like Garry Bushell if I remember rightly. Threatened BBB with legal action when he called him a drunk :lol:

Still pops up in General every now and again under a different guise, usually in one of the politics threads. If you see a post from someone that reads like a Daily Mail article, it's probably him.

I'm a bit confused by this tapatalk stuff.

I have used it, signed up for "it" as an experiment.
Then you find forums - e.g. Huddleboard Pie & Bovril.
Then you sign in to them as you normally would.

This allows you to use a mobile interface which is shampoo.

Whats' the dual sign in for, if anything?

Are those forums independent of tapatalk at this moment in time, but just have a tapatalk skin?

I'm sure it will come out in the wash, but if Tapatalk's front page is anything to go by, we're effed.

KDS will still be a single forum on a KDS domain name, and you'll be able to use it on your current login without having to worry about the Tapatalk eco-system :thumbsup:

Ta - So basically Tapatalk acquired Zetaboards and the back and front end will have to be adapted to suit the "family", like any content management system, and there will be be minimal tailoring capability so that all forums look like clones of each other?

Pretty much.

Although the good news is it looks like KDS will be afforded some "grandfathered" features like the CSS tab in the Admin panel and your own domain name.

Be aware - if you ever decide to pay these charlatans for any of their additional "features", all previously-free "grandfathered" features are, from that point on, considered premium - i.e. pay us to keep using them.


Something else that will annoy folk - Tapatalk will have a pop-up on here every time you're logged out and then log back in that nags you to sign up to their "Tapatalk ID" scheme, which is basically creating a single account that will let you access ALL Tapatalk forums. It looks like this:

Posted Image

You'll be able to dismiss it and continue with your current KDS account, but it'll still nag you every single time you log in.
