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 |

Does this mean we risk a HF comeback? |

anything is possible but if the same crap goes on he will be booted ASAP as well. By the way, this is the Link for the New NY Sports Board it is a work in progress but it is ready to use. I will also be switching the URL to where we will own the domain. It will be the same place but once I get it complete the URL will no longer contain free forum and it will be a .com or something. |

Nothing specific yet but I want to shut it down before they do because I do not want TapaTalk to get any of our information. I also want to switch over to our own URL for the sole purpose of if I want to change sites and update the system I don't have to notify anyone on the forum or have anyone re-register. This way as long as you got the URL you will always find the site. Right now the URL says zetaboards/nysportsboard and the current new site says nysportsboard/free hosting.com and our name piggybacks with whoever we are using. If I buy the domain and do it like I have my website for my business then we will truly have our own place and we will not have to answer to anyone or play by their rules. The way I feel is after 15 years MSG tossed us all like a sack of trash and this guy here is doing the same thing. Who is to say the next people won't do the same ? This way by doing what I want to do we won't ever have to deal with this again. By best estimates I figure it might cost me like $500.00 to $600.00 a year and to me that is worth the peace of mind. But for now I am trying to let everyone know and accelerate the process and if everyone can at least register with the new place and get it in their favorites it will be there ready and waiting. I would strongly encourage using the other place because I would like to get this place wrapped up sooner then later. When I get the time I will be getting the domain name situated so there might be one more address change coming after this one but it will be for the final time ever because the next place will be permanent. |

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. |

Slapper, thanks for all that info. And again for all your hard work. Glad you now have your own domain name and hosting - now have the stability you seek and I'm sure many here, if not all would agree it's nice to know there's permanent home now in nysportsboard.com. |

When you lack a keen eye for pure talent and personal attributes then blindly conclude one's future, you usually end up with egg running down your face. |
