I'd prefer a board like vBulletin here, although I do admire, understand and appreciate building one your own. Only wish it, at the least, it had thorough search and page features. 

Search: https://ssl.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/nbbw.cgi?Gw=site:celephais.net+inurl:board+bees

Page features?
I am so glad you cannot have avatars, signatures or other nonsense here. 

I like how it's streamlined, but the two aforementioned features are useful. In any case, even if a known board brand was used, that stuff can be disabled. 

it does have page features... that's what the "First | Previous | Next | Last" links are for. 

Someone's GOT to make some mashup how func would look like as a standard forum. With avatars, signatures etc. Haha!

agree++;

I would like a Search function though. 

Just wanted to add one more vote of NO to avatars and sigs and YES to search. :) 

the old temporary forum peej put up that we tried for a while? That had avatars.

Not giving a shit either way.

Oh, god. /me cringes 

You mean the one that was derived from Peej's site code?

Yeh. It was horrible.

And for reference Fraqture, the design is based on a previous incarnation of the board which was based on a previous incarnation of the board which was custom written before premade PHP boards existed. We find it works. That and we're all very stuck in our ways ;p

But at least you worked out how the General Abuse/threads system works. That's better than the vast majority of new users. Welcome to func :)

No it wasn't, I had a Bob Ross avatar! Ok it was a bit. 

being what they are, forcing into extremely minimalist board form is a very good idea...
(People would not be ignorant or lack taste or an artistic eye, but annoying, malignant and repulsive on purpose!) 

it was unfinished, but we used it as a temporary home after qmap crashed, before this site was ready. 

I'd be cool with that.

What was the story with the cheeseboard now again? Was also an in-between forum wasn't it? 

If we had any sort of ability to post pictures and the like this place would quickly degenerate into 4chan.

Do not underestimate us. 

And on the subject of which, this would be my signature:

All the talk of the func_ site design got me inspired to fuck around with photoshop and knock up a quick concept for a subtle redesign.

Probably of no use to anyone, and god knows there's actual web design projects that I could be working on right now, but there you go. 

the func of the future!

I want to crush starbuck....
*Shakes fist*

That's horrible beyond horridity. Did Steve Jobs inspire it? 

"we fear change" indeed. 

Electric Fish board, bitches!
