I came here to ask Uma if anyone had or would have an account on yuku. It's not just blogs (you can do that if you wanted, but who the hell would want to?) most people I know are setting up message boards or planning to move thier existing board eventually. It takes a little getting used to, but it's not bad, especially considering we won't have good 'ol ez board much longer. So anyhow, Uma - anyone set up over there that you know of?

It's funny really... Ezboard takes a big leap and brings together cool things, its like ezboard crossed with myspace or something, maybe thats not for everyone (hell i use myspace) but they wont force you to use both, the option is there. do we rejoice, or even say 'nice try'? nah... People hate it with a passion. Anyone remember big bad ezboard 7.0 coming out? Everyone was all the sudden going to stop using ezboard and send Vanchau nasty letters... Why? Yeah I complained... probably even to ezb staff... but why? we seem to all still be alive, 7.0 didnt kill us i doubt this will.. not that im wanting to say to anyone "you should do it because ______ whatever", strictly your decision to make. I'm just really tired from no sleep and wondering why the fire and brimstone on anything ezboard tries to improve.. apologies for the rant-ish thing but hey i made the topic *cartman* i do what i want!! lol...
so yea if anyone wants to add me or whatever you do on there (still tryin to figure it out) i'm the same name as here. ![]() |

Quote: It's more the fact that ezboard is throwing away years of history to try and be "cool." Sure, they're more than welcome to change things up (it's there service, after all), but to force people away from ezboard after such a long period of time is just wrong, no matter what "yuku" offers. Sure, they might put out a good product, but is it really worth it if, at the end of the day, they're nothing more than a MySpace ripoff? ================<br>

well my thought on it was the potential to excel because the feature that myspace was very lacking in was their 'message board' related services... completely sucks, imo. i do agree with you though that they are throwing away lots of good history, and i think that at the very least they should offer some sort of retro skin for the thing (they seem to be able to do what they want, IF they want) so the boards' interface and controls are the same as the old ones. as much as i used to complain about ezboard back in the day, i liked it better than any other message board system, always.
i just thought that if ezboard could maintain their emphasis on boards and offer things on a more individual basis too (like comments, pictures, buddy lists) that it would be so much more successful, if not for everyone then for them at least bc it would attract a whole different crowd of people who wanted to keep in touch and all, and throw them into the message board world at the same time just by it being at their fingertips was i arguing for a point that doesnt exist though? i was under the impression that they were still going to be mostly boards but also incorporate the other things as well... i figured it was just a way to branch out under their sort of new leadership.. dont get me wrong i think what they *should* have done is add it to ezboard over time instead of show up with something completely different, and create this upheaval thats going on... and i thought mio was one of the main ones that hated 7.0... well there were alot maybe im just dumb haha. i do remember pom though that was a kickass board. it was like complete spam, but it made sense at the same time and was very conversational ![]() |

Yeah, but I hated it because I had to do so much work to get shit rolling on the same way as before. namely the profiles, I hated the new ones, because I could do everything that I can do now with profiles before. They just dumbed them down so less clever people could do shit with them, and oh made them paying customer only. Altough yes it is still possible to use custom profile without paying thanks to a bug, unless they have fixed it which I doubt.

I am a member at Ez's single largest active board, Survivor Sucks. We are over 41K members, and to a person we're scared sh**less about moving to Yuku. The format is atrocious, the layout is abominable, the "features" resemble a sophomore Technologies class project. This is a bad move on Ez's part. VERY bad. Out of business kind of bad. I'm scrambling to collect as many IM contacts from there as I possibly can, because chances are I'll never see some of those people again. That's the biggest tragedy about all this.
I hope to God that the Gates survives their move, and that at least this community retains the close relations already here. |

Maybe SS should consider a vB or other sort of board as well? Surely someone there has a site it can be hosted at.
I actually made a board on Yuku to expirament with it... seems to be similar to ez but as an administrator, so far at least, I don't have half of the options that I would have on here. The navigation is a bit tricky with the profiles and the community options. Takes some getting used to. ![]() |

Yuku looks like arse. Also you need a speciffic browsers for it to work at all, for me it doesn't show anything
Then there is the speed, it's painfully slow compared to ezboard. They just took the basic idea of ezboard and fucked it up. Hell they might fix it eventually, but at this point it looks nasty and feels terrible to use. I don't mind the myspace shit they have going on much, but they could of added that bullshit to ezboard and perhaps had a better result.. at least the likelyness of this would of increased. Also doesn't load if I use a transparent proxy Actually disregard that, what I'm trying to say is.. my interest in this thing has dropped to 0. ---1000
