I concur you know what is best for your forum too. This modification is setting the foundation for interconnecting forums. Anyone can create a decent profile system. If that's what we were trying to do, we would have integrated with vBulletin 100%. Our vision is to allow people to hop from community to community to community like driving along a virtual freeway. Is it what everyone wants? No, and we respect that. But I prefer to innovate. And any time you innovate, you're going to polarize groups of people. It's not that we have done anything WRONG (though we obviously have many areas to improve) it's that we've done things different. Different doesn't mean bad

In the end, together we are strong. And the self-marketing campaign that will be included in Zoints Local 1.0.2 is going to prove that. A single forum marketing themselves will have a hard time being noticed. But hundreds of forums all utilizing the same means of marketing gets people to take notice.

Stay tuned...
