Hi,
We don't have a separate board for off-topic discussion because of the costs of extra bandwidth that would be required to accommodate it.
Previously there used to be an separate off-topic Knightmare board on the NKTP website which worked quite well for a while, but that closed down so the off-topic/backup forum you see now is essentially the replacement.

i guess, if we could find another host, we could find a way to host the forum... i dont know if anyone keeps their computer on 24/7 and has broadband, if so it is possible to host a forum on it...
Either that or we all band together and donate some cash so we can contribute to the bandwidth...

well another forum i post at is almost focus chat with a bit of topic thrown in for good measure. i know the admin is always looking for new members so if people want to check it out its up to them...

Why is the Off Topic/Backup forum in Threaded mode, while the rest of the forums are Flat? Threaded has to be the worst forum viewing option, IMO - you have to wait for each message to load separately.

It's just a free forum from Bravenet with no option to change the way the forum appears.
I would like to now make a request - is there anyone out there who would like to set-up and moderate a replacement social/off-topic/backup forum for this website? I think this would be the best way forward so I can concentrate on this forum.
http://www.proboards.com/ seems pretty similar in style to this forum and is free. Any takers?

done....i didnt mean to..i was messin around there and ive created a board.
i'll make it presentable now.
well, its ready for a first look...
-

Great forum PIckle!
and as usual i'm first to sign up, hehe
ooh, i'll sign anything nowdays.....

I wish you'd said that before. I can make a board using ASP code and host it on my own server - I'd have more control than a free board from a provider, and plus, no ads whatsoever!
Give me a day or two, and I'll create you a board the likes of which you've never seen before!

That also sounds like a good idea. There may still be other people with suggestions, so I think the fairest way would be to have a quick vote/poll on which forum people most prefer once all the options are known.
Let's give it a week for people to come up with proposals, so we'll do a poll next weekend.

Gee you're all so clever at the ol 'computer web page forum thingumy bob!
Goes back into corner with Dunces hat on

i actually remember you mentioning it but i have never made a forum before and had no clue how.
anyway, you're more than welcome to sign up.

hey im on the Challenge forum, username = WhiteDevil.. Some of the people there are a bit immature yeah, but us sane people just remember to use the forum how it was meant and we'll gain a lot more respect from the people at Challenge...
Respect = Listen to what we have to say = Knightmare

I looked at the Challenge forum with a view to joining, but only really for the Knightmare threads, but then decided that i'd rather not have the company of pre-pubescent boys who feel they need to litter their threads with abuse and swear words in an effort to sound grown up and macho.
It's much nicer here
