From what I understand, if the NCFFB moved to a commercial, non-shareware software, they'd of course have to pony up the $$ initially, and then have a tech monitor it for problems that arose (like the WSOD). Since this is a volunteer board, and we all have lives outside of the NCFFB, that could be a problem to find someone to stay on top of thing as much as is needed. I think GM's background is in computers, and he tirelessly took care of the board for years. Understandably, I think he got burned out and seldom (if ever) posts here now. This is NOT to say that the current admin aren't working hard, and try and stay on top of all of the issues that arise on the board, but finding a solution for the WSOD has dragged on for much too long. To all of the board admin: thanks for all of your efforts, you folks kick @$$!
My background is not in computers, although I know how to do some basic things, I can't write code, create elaborate websites, or run a bulletin board. I also use a Mac, which also is different from 90% of the other computer users out there. SOMETHING needs to be done, but finding a solution that works the best for the most number of users is still proving to be elusive (obviously).
