The timing of the move proved to be extremely well timed. Imagine if those virus attacks had taken down the board? As far as I can recall all those versions of VBulletin were badly effected. The old site had a couple of things broken by the end. Like the weird spaced out vistor messages. Half the Arcade games no longer worked.
In the end, it’s definately been the right move. The speed of the new site is amazing and the user friendliness very good. Would be nice to get member numbers a bit higher up, but it’s not too bad for now.
Only things I really miss from old OA is probably MDC and all the history of the posting, was a shame to lose 13 years of content. But I suppose as each year goes by on the new one, we’ll develop new history and it’ll make up for it over time. I’ll never forget the old site though, it served it’s purpose very well for a long time. Now the new site is the ideal version for today’s times.
