Everyone posting on the Outpost refugee board is from ACF.
I don't see a single rational advantage to that board. The only fake advantage is less moderators but I haven't felt the need to swear and insult gay people in the process of expressing myself since I was twelve.

Same. If I had to pick one I'd probably pick Planetfury but the layout needs work. From what I have read over there thus far the people seem cool, though, and it's the people that make a board.

Planet Fury sucks. The URL's to each thread use the title, which can often be NSFW. The others number each thread in the URL.
Not to mention the format and colors are painful.

I'm never going to make it on the ign boards. It's really pointless to even bother. And if you can only post stuff risque enough for a 7-year-old, what's the point anyway? Might as well just hang out on Facebook all day.

For those complaining about the forum style of Planet Fury:
http://www.planetfury.com/content/post-your-gripessuggestions-about-forums-here
I do listen and am willing to work on it (coughIGNwillneverdothatcough). I can't move the sky, as it were, but I can certainly tweak things to make them less of an issue.

IMO there are really only two options. IGN and Planet Furry. The problem with the refugee boards is that there will never be any new users stumbling in. The death of that forum is inevitable and I don't think it will take that long. IGN and Furry will bring us fresh meat and we absolutely need that for the forum to survive.
The main problem with the IGN forum is the modding and I think we should reserve judgment a little on that. Once Lyndrek establishes that as his territory he can educate other mods on how he wants things handled in his forum. The board tech is somewhat different than we're used to but it's got as many advantages as disadvantages. Inline video is a huge improvement. Pictures displaying in their correct size and scale is also a huge advantage. The disadvantages are mostly just a function of unfamiliarity and that won't last forever.
I see three significant problems with Planet Furry. 1) It's NSFW and that alone will keep a lot of Outposters away. 2) The native population is more libtardy than we're used to. Part of what makes the Outpost a great place to argue politics is that we've got an uncommonly good balance. 3) The board tech is by far the worst of the 3 options. I trust that Sinlock can fix that though. The question is can he do it before all the Outposters have quit.

How can you be sure of this? Not saying you're necessarily wrong, but I see no reason to believe that "new people" will find either of those sites, especially the IGN one, which (in the case of the Outpost) is an off-topic board related to a game that is pretty much dead.

The dying vnboards have been bringing us fresh meat (not a lot but enough) and these boards have wayyy less traffic than the IGN ones. Some will just stumble in by trying new links and others will follow venturesome outposters back there when they post elsewhere.
Not that this is a great example but we already had a half dozen Vesticles drop by and the forum migration isn't even complete.

He might be somewhat right. Because of the sheer size of the IGN site.
For example, months and months ago, I stumbled across Teh Vestible board just browsing the site. I still visit it occasionally out of morbid fascination.

I'm going to give IGN a fair shot.
Last night was over the top. It should not be what we make the decision over.
I think it will mellow out and be a good enough forum, but I still want to keep my options open so I'll be perusing all of them until one of them seems established enough to occupy the majority of my time.
If that doesn't happen I'll probably have to invade the boards my wife posts on. Which will be entertaining as they are a bunch of weak minded cry babies.

I will be here until they they shut it off.
Then to IGN Outpost until the mods become unbearable.
Then to Mithan's refuge.

The problem with the refugee boards is that there will never be any new users stumbling in.
That's not necessarily true.
The same thing happened to a bunch of us who used to hang out at the Compuserve Gaming Boards, back in the day. We had a thriving community for a decade, then, the various game companies started their own forums and this newfangled thing called the internet started sucking away people. The gaming forums eventually closed. So, a bunch of us regulars started something very similar to the refugee board. That was 8 or 10 years ago and we are still going strong.
Now, we don't get a lot of new blood but we do get a few new folks, mostly from meeting them in games we play. And we're a fairly closed society. I suspect this refugee board could end up with a critical mass of folks that would ensure a regular supply of new folks. Same with Planet Fury, though, I suspect, their main demographic is different from the usual Outpost demographic.
Anyway, I'll probably be hitting all three for the near future.
