This is NOT a slam session. And I do NOT want other PR sites/forums named.

What I am interested in knowing, is what you like and don't like about the other PR forums/sites out there. Be it features, an abundance of ads, etc.

This is more for me to get a better idea of where I want to go with things on PRE in the future. By better guaging your likes and dislikes of other PR forums/sites....I'll have a better idea of where to go with things.

PRE is doing very well and I want to keep it that way. I've tried hard to not change things on PRE....but instead to improve and expand upon current features and abilities of what Vbulletin and PRE have.

Member feedback is important to me. So let's see what you've got!

Nope, I used to go to one but it is down.

There is only one other PR board that I am a member of, well, two, but the other one I visit only to dl something every now and then.

The reasons I don't visit those sites as much as I do here has little to do with the board or applications. It has to do with atmosphere and friends. Most of the people I met on PRE haven't been on any of the other sites I've been on, at least not actively been on. That plays a big role in it. It comes down to atmosphere and moderation, which I think the latter controls the former.

Only one, really. Though since PRE opened again I've been there less and less given that membership has suffered, likely because of PRE's return.

Either way, the lack of ads is definitely more appealing, knowing that members' suggestions are really taken into consideration is also a plus. The witty banter can also be fun lol. Overall imo PRE just has a better sense of community than the others I've known and I enjoy it - the reasons mentioned at a good part of it though

I think we need one of those chat/shoutbox thingies.

Oh god no. 2 main reasons:

1. If they get active enough, it can kill the server. Don't want that.

2. It usually starts killing activity on the forum itself. Which causes a drop off in members joining and new activity taking place. This stagnates the whole atmosphere, people become less active, and many leave. Which is counter-productive to what you want on a forum. People start Role Playing and using the shoutbox as their own personal soapbox as well. Serious turn-offs.

If people want to chat with other people, that's why they invented such things as Yahoo, AOL, and MSN Messengers.

It's a novel idea. But not one that works well with this fandom.

The thing I like here is that you can answer any topic you want without anybody make an irony of you or think you are a spammer. People were afraid to express their selves there because of a stupid infraction system that they had. I got banned from there for good. In that place it was crime if you haven't watched all seasons. I am so happy that I found this forum. Finally I can share all my thoughts of power rangers without any problem and here there is freedom of speach and not spam-fear. Keep it up like this. The forum rocks!

I go to 4 other PR boards and 2 Tokusatsu like boards. I hardly visit PR sites though.

Been like this for oh 2 or 3 years even before he had shut it down for awhile. DHA speaks truth though. I don't really go to any other pr board anymore. Though their was one i was fond of but it hasn't come back yet either.

We did that several times, they were never successful.
