New Site Criticism
Sure you do deserve credit for all of the work that has gone into this new site but if people only post praise it will not be the benefit of this site.
Here are the major things that I do not like.
FRAMES! That's pretty much a no no today. Use server side includes instead, I suggest moving to php which will allow you to better integrate the main content with the forum.
Also I don't like how much space this vBulletin skin takes up. Maybe turn off features or find another skin that does not waste so much space. (One reason it takes up so much space is because it is confined into a small frame) Previously the board had been using a trimmed down version of the default phpBB skin and it was nice and compact. Also since you are using frames having both a header at the top of the page and at the top of the forum wastes a lot of screen space.
Where did all of the old posts go? How about putting up an install of phpBB and restoring the database, then locking all of the forums so at least all of the information from old forum will be retained and accessible. If you need a place to host it / help doing it I can host it for you.
Keep up the good work on the site!
