Welcome to Broadband Bulletin

I created this community to be the spiritual successor to DSLReports. DSLReports, after decades of service appears to have been shutdown. The mission of this space is to provide an early web experience without algorithmically driven content by sorting discussions based on date of last post. Since this forum is running more modern software than the forums of yore, it may feel like on the surface it may deteriorate into the social experience we know from other sites, but that wont happen here. With the community's support I plan to retain the old-school forum experience with your help. Please create discussions, reply and engage with others. We cant let this community die. Is there a forum missing that you want to participate in? Create a discussion in t/broadband-bulletin. Spread the word. We want as many community members to find us as possible. If you a new here, welcome! This forum isn't just for old timers. As this site takes hold moderators will be appointed and community guidelines will be established. I have been a DSLReports member since 2005 and daily visitor since before that. It is good to see you again.

camper Other forum sites allow the “general landing page” to be customized to view specific fora.

So, you seem to be admitting that this site uses lower-quality software.

Software, that won’t be upgraded to be more helpful to the users of the site.

How much $ are you willing to pay, and make others pay, for upkeep/upgrade and hosting and admin costs for your perfect site? As I understand it it’s a volunteer effort right now.

That’s correct, it’s only one person administrating the entire site and a few more helping tidy up posts.

Software, that won’t be upgraded to be more helpful to the users of the site. That’s the part that concerns me the most. The negation of my suggestion to avoid improving the user experience here.

Hey, if that is the reality, I’d say it is a shame to be so reluctant to hear user suggestions and also be so ignorant of providing great forum software.

But I’d try to deal with it.

You seem bent on projecting and judging and criticizing. I can’t help you with that. And you are off-topic in this ‘welcome/thank you’ discussion. Feel free to start your own discussion and rant on there.

Nah.

All I would prefer would be an easier-to-use UI.

What else yer got?
