From Ellie:

I got an email today from the president of Proboards! He said that they have noticed that our board is generating a lot of traffic and that they are going to move us to a better system that should be faster than what we are on right now. Awesome! We're one of the big kids now. ;D

[pixy0stix]

Faster load times, and a quicker search apparently.

[ESF]

We are here, what two months, and we already get improvements (on an already superior site) for our loyalty?

Suck it, Nest. We are never coming back. Proboards rocks.

[mrshandy]

Yay!

Right? I mean seriously. Best rewards board ever.

ETA: Also, I need to throw in some praise for the fact that the last update fixed the bug that caused the app to force close if I clicked on a YouTube embed. It's nice to be heard.

[ChillyMcFreeze]

Yay! I've been getting a lot of error messages in the last few days... maybe this will fix it?

[heyjude]

Wow.

Can someone tell me if there is any update from the nest?

What sort of update?

As far as I know they're not working to upgrade the boards. There was some talk of developing an app (as in what people would look for in an app for the boards).

[heyjude]

Like any "wtf happened" moments among the nest gods?

[thejackpot]

That is pretty impressive.

Not that they've posted. They've been pretty quiet about the whole thing.

TB hasn't been effected at all, so there was absolutely nothing over there.

[heyjude]

Bummer. I like to imagine them running around and crying because they miss our awesomesause so much.

[marynjoe]

Awesome!!!!!

Preach it sister. It just proves the incompetency over there. Maybe they've tried to diversify themselves too much to keep or something.

Anyone have the latest traffic stats?

Yay proboards!

ETA: I should really learn to keep scrolling.

[bqbride]

Meanwhile, TN still doesn't have a search function.

This is totallyfuckingawesome! Thanks, ProBoards!

[heightsyankee]

Yay, ProBoards. It's small and petty, but I love being able to tell the nest to suck it. I do. I'll never tire of it.

[heyjude]

Why can't I see how many members GBCN has anymore?

The Nest tried to be the online version of Cosmo and failed.

[UMaineTeach]

oh thank goodness! good news.
I was holding my breath at 'I got an email form the president of PB and they noticed...'
I was thinking, Crap, too much sex and guns?

[pixy0stix]

Apparently we've all been pretty good at keeping it clean. Either that, or no one is tattling on us.

I'm still a little shocked that this all worked so beautifully.

[copzgirl1171]

Hey, thanks Proboards!!

[lyssbobiss, Command, B613]

Can I be the lone cynic and worry that these "upgrades" will cause the same crappy problems as the nest? I'm a little worried. I said it. And then I will go ruin the shit out of someone else's Pampers experience.

Yes, but if they send you free Pampers? ;D

I'm on another forum that is technically a ProBoard. It started out that way and got really big and has been through a series of upgrades. Sometimes there are issues but they never last more than a few hours. I think the big difference is that ProBoards is actually about forums. TN is about bullshit and ad revenue.

I just got a pop up survey on the bump about how I access the internet. Maybe they're gauging interest for an app. Cuz, you know, it's not completely obvious that they need one.

Also, YAY PROBOARDS!!!

I've been really impressed by how well the boards are self-policing. I thought the TOS would be a problem for us, but really we have maybe one post a week that gets picked up by their filters and has to be deleted. Not bad at all considering how many posts there are overall. I guess keeping it clean is easier for us than I expected.
