Very interesting new forum that's just been popped up by one of the admins in a Metroid Forum I visit. The video shows how it works, and there's info all over the site. The only advantage ProBoards has over this is that ProBoards is, iirc, free to use, whereas Taiga Forums require a monthly subscription of $4.99 a month.

Meh, I like the look and feel of ProBoards much better. I've become so accustomed to it. ProBoards seems so much easier to use, too.

It is fairly new, and it is not free. Although $4.99 a month is a considerable price being as they are in fact new and host their own products. Plus, it's not user customizable as of yet. Perhaps it might be a good option in the future when if it ever becomes free...

There have been many attempts to move the forum somewhere else. All of them phailed epicly. Whatever advantages this one may have, they are counteracted and then some by the perils of attempting to move the forums, and would most likely fail anyway, thus being a waste of five bucks a month.

i took care of that double post for you, i've seen that kind of thing happen in the past too; is it a browser glitch?
anyways, i think that the hassle of changing the location, the trouble of getting used to a new system that is not yet as tested, refined, or customizable as this one, as well as the cost make it unlikely we will switch over.

Yes, it is a browser glitch. It happens sometimes.
G, you've been over this as well as I. We have yet to remove the failed attempts at moving. Some people aren't joining this forum because of the three other official ones, which are simply attempts at moving this one. Only one of those was moderately successful, and that was simply because Listo redirected us to it. That code was technically against the ToS, actually, but that's immaterial.

Although, In the case we ever DO in fact decide to move on a more... applicable type of forum programming, it would be best to change this entire site to a single page with a re-direct link...

Kurai, we can't do that. I just said it's against the ToS to have any kind of redirects. The forum would be deleted.
Anyway, we can't move. You know what a failure all previous attempts to move have been. I don't mean we should not, or we cannot afford a move, I mean we simply can not.
