    Which one of the two forums do you prefer and why?.

    Please only post if you were active on both (ie, don't post 'Well from reading UPSB V2...').

    Well from reading UPSB V2...

    I prefer V3 cause it's easier to navigate through wink.gif

    I used to lurk there, but never posted.

    It's hard to say. UPSBv2 had a much different vibe for me than UPSBv3. That could mainly be because I am a moderator here and was just a member there. I look at this board with a much more critical eye every time I visit rather than the much more casual eye that was used ith UPSBv2.

    I come to the boards for different reasons too. UPSBv2 is a collection of static bits of information, while UPSBv3 is still changing and being added to. V3 had a few years to gather information, while V3 is still quite young. I still go back to V2 to find information, like I did when it was open. I use V3 for the actual, live community and to help add to the growing amount of information here.

    The two boards are too different for me to give a decent answer to, it's really like the old "comparing apples to oranges", not really worth doing.

    I'd say I prefer UPSB V3. Personally, I find UPSB V2 a little rigid. Kam, the leader of UPSB2 tends to treat things too formally and needs them to be perfect before proceeding. The community doesn't has much say over the things in UPSB2 and suggestions get implemented only if there are clear successes for them (the battlezone for example). An extreme example of the previous claim will be the number pf moderators. Only 4 members were allocated to manage the board despite the task getting increasingly difficult. Only after repeated suggestions was a new beta-moderator (Phya) was appointed.

    On the other hand, UPSB V3 is more flexible. Efforts are made to turn this into a community instead of just as a board for pen spinning information. Interactions outside pen spinning are encouraged to enhance the relationships between members (e.g. forum games, arcade, etc.). Most importantly, I guess, is that Zombo, as the administrator, is much more open-minded and willing to accept changes.

    I like V3 because It gave me a chance to get involved in the early boards, the first conversations and what not. In V2 I joined around the middle of its life and everything was so foreign and different. Now I feel more like I'm in the foundation. Also, it is of a cleaner design and provides more opportunity in the way of chat, radio, and a better forum design. Not to put down V2 though, everything has to start somewhere and there would be no V3 with V2.

    The spammers bin of UPSBv2 was god like.
    I liked peoples attitudes more on UPSBv2
    But I like the set up of UPSBv3 and all the information we have.
    So I liked UPSBv2's spammer bin and UPSBv3 better overall. ;]
