I have been going back and forth with many of the admins from all the forums on Zetaboards and the consensus on the merge with Tapatalk is not good. From what everyone has been saying is that this move was being sold as a improvement to the site and the service and in fact it is being done because the owner has neglected this site and servers to the point where it will cost too much money to update. So what he did was sell the forums to Tapatalk who happen to be one of the worst forum hosts on the planet so he did not have to invest any of the many dollars he has made off the forum into modernizing it. I myself put a ton of work into this place from loading emoticons and getting the place to look and feel the way we all like and this new forum is going to complicate things greatly and put that all to waste. Unfortunately something has to be done because this place will change over to the new format and from what I see will not be enjoyable to the people here and over complicate things. So moving forward I am in the process of looking into a new server and my main decision is going to be to continue using a free hosting site and have to deal with this nonsense every so often or just pay for my own place that will completely make us independent and free from all the other nonsense dealing with free hosting services. I plan on creating a new forum to be as close to this as possible with as many improvements that I can provide and when I am done I will post a new link and everyone can re-sign up there and we can put this place to bed because I will not be going to TapaTalk and this place will go by the wayside. I am sorry for the changes but I decided it will be in the best interest for the forum and keeping everyone together without having to be held hostage by Corporate greed. If anyone has any questions or concerns as well as any viable suggestions please let me know because I will be working on this ASAP. I am not looking forward to all the work that I had to do when I made this place but I want to get it over with and put it behind me. It will also allow us to build a better following because I recently found out that Zetaboards was keeping us and many others off the directory so in essence nobody ever new we existed. When the time comes it will be as easy as it was signing up for this place and there will be no strings or gimmicks and it will be just like it ever was. Thanks, Dan |

Here is a link to the new place New NY Sports Board It is still a work in progress and I am going to switch it over to a paid subscription and get out of the free sites stuff and this place will allow me to create the forum and get it up and running. I looked into the whole server thing and it was ridiculously expensive and then required me to legally commit to a whole litany of things I did not want to bother with. As I said it is a work in progress but I am trying to keep it as similar as here as I can but the Zetaboards is using outdated software so some things will inevitably change. Eventually we will have our own URL and the free forums will no longer be in the URL. |

Dan, aka slapper, all this tech talk and computer lingo makes my head spin. After all I am old school, and remember the good old days of using a pen, pencil and paper. So all I want to do is talk sports and argue with you about the Rangers, so just point me in the right direction and I am with you and all our Ranger Family. You are the best my friend. Thank You once again for all you hard work, time and dedication to keeping us together. Lets not forget Ranger Fans Friday Night is the NHL Entry Draft. 7:30 NBCSN |

Our permanent address or URL is now nysportsboard.com and it is complete. Please use that from now on and start using the other place so we can wind this down here. |
