I thought that I might surf to these "soo much better" forums and see what they are like. As far as I can see, these forums & the websiteforums are quite different.

Here, we deal with technical problems mainly. Scripting, databases etc... They on the other hand seem to be more general, devoting just one forum to technics, and the rest to money-making, e-zines, promotion etc.

They are quite different. And as for your criticisms of these forums, I see them quite lame. (Note: quotes are from websiteforums.com)

Quote:

They just ripped a phpBB 2.0 board and hosted it without even bothering to customize it. Everything they have there is the default.

This has been around for just over a fortnight. Your forum uses Ikonboard, and it doesn't look very customized either.

Well lets give Daniel Jarett the blame him for his crapy forums! Shut down 4WebHelp.net Forums!!!

This behaviour is childish. You seem jealous! Thanks be to God that the members of websiteforums are mature.

Hi there.

This is Knut from WebsiteForums. (The webmaster/owner/administrator/whatever Wink

I just wanted to apologize on our behalf, and let you know that what roly said is in no way representing the views and opinions of other users (and me) over at WebsiteForums. (You'll see this by looking at the responses in the thread roly posted about you)

You seem to have a good thing going over here, and I wish you good luck with your forums Smile

Thanks for the apology, but it's not your fault - there's some mad people around who'll post anything to get attention Smile

Thanks, and I'm sorry you've found our site in such a state. If you check out http://www.users.f2s.com then you'll see what it's going to be like - we've only had this site for a bit over a week, and it's taking us time to get going again, as we don't want to make the same mistakes again.

Best wishes,
Peter.
Co-leader, 4webhelp team.

Very decent of you Knut. Thanks for your apology. I noticed how you managed to get some sense into him in your forums, and he stopped criticising.

I guess I'll give you a hand whenever I can. I'll sign up.

P.S. (Knut - You like the K desktop environment? Have you the latest installed with Konqueror broken? - Sorry, off topic)
