It doesn't look like ANY of PPF is actually going over there. I've seen no threads migrated. Not even sure the same topics are there. Their BBS software sucks IMO. I'm seeing more about how uptight they are and post nazi-ish about getting off topic.

And WTF is with showing my real name instead of my Nick when I make a post? GRRRR

Maybe it will all change when it goes "live" tuesday? just hard to get excited about it so far.

found out if you choose to HIDE your name, it will use your loginID as the name.

Speaking of cost, maintenance, etc..
I ****** GLADLY ****** "donated" to be a supporting member of PPF before.

If you need another round of donations to keep this place as is - just say the word.

This wasn't a decision I took lightly. The people at PrintPlanet.com and I have been talking for several months. The reason they approached me was because of how awesome this community is, they want to create the same environment as we have here. I will be over there running the forums just as I am here, my goal is to create the same type of environment.

Combining forces with PrintPlanet.com will open the door to resources that I don't currently have. (I now have tech support!)
There are also many features i've wanted to incorporate into the site, but just didn't have the resources or ability to do. Combining the resources makes these things a possibility.

It will. I have signed on with my "30YearsandCounting" user name and that is all that shows. BUT... there have already been comments like this:

"I do respect people's wish for anonymity, however, speaking from behind a curtain in a public forum is not, IMHO, conducive to open and sharing dialog. If you feel that what you want to say can only be done anonymously then perhaps you should not be posting on those topics. Personally, I ignore all anonymous posts since not knowing the source means that I cannot determine their credibility."
