    Just curious, maybe my inner-nerd coming out, but what kind of forum software is BA running? It's pretty slick and doesn't look like the usual vB/IB/phpBB.

    Heard it is xenforo. From everything I have heard it was made by some former employees of vBulletin. Oddly enough, instead of going with one of the many outstanding free open source options, the bros chose a company plagued by litigation (edit: allegations of course and nothing is substantiated) and some less than outstanding reviews. From what I understand a lot of stuff is really stripped down and simplified, so that might have been a positive for the bros.

    Their choice, their forum, their software. I am cool with it, and am enjoying many of the perks it does have.

    I'm digging the new s/w ... the only thing I really miss is threaded conversations. That, IMO, was the biggest plus from the homegrown forum that is lacking here.
