OK Guys what's it to be - PLEASE READ AND RESPOND
(and let's try to keep this one on topic as I believe it's important!)
As Hobo's Heros decided that it was myself, mav and merc that were the cause of all this, I've asked their opinions so far on this but we've all agreed it needs opening up to everyone.
We need a decision and we need it fairly quickly before everyone gets too settled here to be bothered moving again
Question 1 is "Do we just stay here now we have the keys or do we disassociate completely"
My own opinion is that we need to move on to break any association with 606v2 - even though they have no powers here anymore this place is still loosely attached to them. I'd say we move
If the answer to question 1 is "move" then question two is ... where to?
I have set up a couple of test sites - one on forumotion and one on proboards that I've used before
http://v4golf.proboards.com
http://golf-chat.forumotion.co.uk/
Please take a look at them and lets try to decide what we all think. Don't get too hung up on colours or forum layout - that can all be changed - its more how comfortable we feel with them and the features they provide
For my thoughts, the forumotion has slightly more features, but proboards are more reliable. forumotion have been known to mess people about (look what they did to 606v2!) and I've used proboards for years. However as I said, forumotion do offer a few more features
Please guys - for once lets try to keep this on topic and get some sort of agreement as soon as possible. Both test forums are open to membership but you don't need to sign up just to look about. If we decide not to use one or both of them, then they will be deleted so don't put any important content up there yet

Q1: Ambivalent - not sure I see an issue here that moving elsewhere would solve, but then I'm not as embedded in the whole flame war/mods/admins thing as others.
Q2: I'd go for reliability over features
Edit:> What do I win for answering first??

Re: OK Guys what's it to be - PLEASE READ AND RESPOND
Firstly, can I say I agree, we should move.
Although we have the keys, there is something about it that makes me uneasy, especially given the underhand way in which certain members were excluded from V2, so any association to that, IMO should be severed.
Secondly, I do not have any knowledge on which is best of the two, they both look fine to me, and as long as it is easy to use and organised, and as a poster you can be visible and post freely, I am ok either way.

Re: OK Guys what's it to be - PLEASE READ AND RESPOND
Gut feel from cursory look round I like the look and feel of the forumotion setup better. It's also what most here are used to, from their 606v2 use that is.
Have no experience of boards hosted by proboards so not sure I can comment on that too much. Not so keen on the feel of it though.
You say forumotion have a habit of messing people around? What sort of messing around?

Q1 I don't have any issues or agenda either way. I've not fallen out with the admins on the darkside but I have firmly pledged my allegiance to this site. Personally, I see no real need to move but if others deem it to be for the best then like the good sheep that I am, I'll follow.
Q2 Agree with bob, reliabilty is more important. Also, goes without saying, it MUST be work friendly.

Happy to go with the flow.
Have no preference from both examples shown, albeit I'm more used to the forumotion look/feel I don't mind. Happy to leave it up to whomever will be structuring/organising the site.

Will go with the flow. I quite understand why people would want to disassociate themselves from 606v2. In terms of an alternative I think forumotion looks the better, but am willing to give proboards a chance if that is the decision.

A couple of reasons for saying that, NBS
One doesn't necessarily apply to us here, but there was the problem v2 h ad with them when they suddenly (and massively) increased the cost of advert removal when the site got busier. That won't apply to us assuming we aren't throwing any money at it and put up with the default adverts.
They also are possibly of a more dubious heritage (far east company I think as opposed to a US one) - though I never personally had any problems with v2 some people reported an increase in junk mail after joining V2. It could just be that forumotion could be a bit more fst and loose with the members' data though I have nothing to back that up.
The other thing is that a small number of people have had forumotion blocked by their place of work. I don't know if proboards suffers the same

I did see a post on V2 which implied you were too lazy to set up the forum so the nice admins in V2 had to do it for you which was obviously bollocks. Clean break is the only way forward.

To be fair I think that was a regular member who said that, who obviously just had the wrong end of the stick

Ta for that Davie. Re. the move/non-move thing, I'm happy to go with the flow. I don't have any specific issues with v2 so happy to defer to those that do/did.

Q1 - Move / stay put: whatever, it's a democracy I'll go with the majority.
Q2 - Which forum: Difficult to tell, more used to forumotion so maybe biased but reliability is key. However like D4S says MUST be work friendly, and avatars of a reasonable size, some of them aren't too work friendly. However based on LP's I wouldn't mind meeting her but I think she photo shopped her picture...
Work friendly, not sure if I got kicked out earlier by work but seem to back in now. Hope I'm not on some sort of IT watchlist

No decisions yet - we'll wait for more people to chip in but at the moment I'd say moving is winning over staying and forumotion is looking good for the choice despite a couple of worries

Has forumotion got the facility for you to DJ for us in the background when we are on here in the evenings?

As long as we all go to the same place, either will do.
Do we have any ideas how to attract new people to the new place, otherwise it could quickly become a bit samey.
NST - nice photo, quite a good likeness, but nowhere near as pretty as Mary's winking pussy! There I've said it, now I'm just as bad as that really bad man Mercurio!

Newbie here.
So, hello and best wishes with your new golf forum.
Do hope it works out well and, with that thought in mind, I would imagine that a move to a new site would be best. Liken it to a divorce, if you will, with a new beginning.
Have also registered on the other site as well with football being my other interest.
As for choice of of proboard v forumotion, sorry but do not have any knowledge of either to make a comment on.
P.S. Will you be keeping the same name for your golf forum or, if moving, starting afresh with a new name not associated with v2 ?

Re: OK Guys what's it to be - PLEASE READ AND RESPOND
Seems no one is really prepared to stick their neck out here and it's looking like someone is going to have to make a decision
I'll leave it a little longer to see if anyone comes forward; I really don't want to be seen as some sort of dictator here (we had enough of that over there)
At the moment it's looking like http://v4golf.forumotion.co.uk/ will be our new home (nice that is has a .co.uk domain though we still want people from all over the world to join in)
Let's see how the next 24 hours go but if the situation remains how it is at the moment I propose a move en masse there. Next question will be admins and mods. I have already set the site up but I'm happy to hand over if that's what the majority want. I'm also quite happy to keep going - you people must decide.
I'd like to nominate Mav as another admin but again you people must decide - we may also want a mod or two (or even another admin). Would anyone like to volunteer or shall we just see how it goes?

What's your problem John? Who is the pathetic one here?
Mav and myself were dumped without any notice or warning; Merc may or may have had a reason to be dumped and we'll probably never know (personally I think he was as badly treated as anyone)
The admins of V2 decided to cast us adrift - pretending to set this place up for us in a fit of generosity (most of them don't know their ass from their elbow if the truth be known)
So, cast adrift and with quite a few followers already, what are we supposed to do? Thank them for their generosity?
All we are doing here is looking for opinions on what is the best alternative. If you'd like to be a part of that, then welcome - if not then the door is over there

Not really bothered Davie. Although as I say a new place would need a way to grow it's user footprint. I like the idea of this domain name and then paying google to throw us up in searches ahead of the other place.

Ok I'm back! Alive breathing and severly depleted of funds from hellwater(bluewater) may have to step up the work bext year and worl 17weeks instead of 16!
Mary did you say you were easy..... Where do you live again!!!!!
My 2penneth!
Q1.as I said to davie I feel we need to move on 2 counts firstly that this was setup by the pig swill that is hobo and by remaining he can gloat (stroke his man sausage) over the fact he put us here! Mind you its like early australia the criminals banished to a foreign land, end with better weather, better exonomy and hotter chicks (mary & LP) ;)
Secondly if in future we look to gain new members which would be good and healthy any google search will bring up V2 rather than here as by association we have v2 in our name and may feel were part of that mob!
As to where I don't mind but if everyone is happy to move I'm happy to help set it up/fund a move be a damn site cheaper than shopping with my mrs

I would prefer my see through strides, in my christmassy posing pouch (red, shiny and with a bit of tinsel on the arsecheek area) for the site photo/mascot.
But apparently others feel this would be offputting.
As for names. How about calling it after a pub-type approach. The Wedge and Nurse?

Is it me or is there no easy way of finding this Forum without actually having a link?
Literally being 'set up' or should it have read 'been set up'.
Sadly, I'm very disappointed in the lack of professionalism and the vindictive and juvenile manner in which this whole episode has been dealt with by the Admin on the other side which has led to this. One thing for sure, in my view, even with the quality of posters on here, it will be suffocated by the lack of easy access / communication unless a new site / identity can be established.

.net sounds like something you lot use in your dodgy post-curry clubs to catch unwilling females! and .org is more associated with charitable places... but I'm easy with it.

Regarding the .Domain, you could setup the free forum then lease a/any Domain name from Forumotion (or indeed lease one privately) just a matter then of configuring a redirect so the free forum and leased domain are working in tandem. Could be .com, .net, .info whatever really.

Are you saying we're not charitable? I'd say we were very charitable when we all handed over a fiver each to SmithersJones for his outrageous Barnet banditry I'm pretty sure we can use the words 'golf' 'forum' or 'chatroom' or something in such a way as to be able to add .com on the end. There must be some domains left in tharm thar hills

Good point by Redrage regarding the name. If V4 came up on a google search it probably wouldn't lure me in. I came across Golf Magic when searching for something golf related and have been positing on there for around 4 years.
Unfortunately I don't have any bright ideas at the moment re. an actual title for the forum.

Re: OK Guys what's it to be - PLEASE READ AND RESPOND
I'm not that struck on the word 'forum' to be perfectly honest. It sounds a bit exclusive rather than inclusive to me. It's just the sort of 'up your own arse' phrase I'd expect the toffee-nosed gits attending the Nam races this weekend (called Giles or Rupert) to trot out. Can't we find a more accessible word; golf-chat; discuss-golf; golf-matters; all-about-golfI don't know something which will pull us up the rankings. And before the wise-cracks start, NO I'm not 'Diggers in disguise!'
