Okay, and all of that sounds like personal beef. But... why make a whole thread trashing them on an unrelated forum? That just seems toxic. You didn't want people tangentially complaining about that forum in the Samuel Benta thread. So now we actually have a thread where complaining about that forum is the whole point and you still have a problem with it. Because it's creating unnecessary drama between two forums I enjoy going to for no reason AND people were attempting to turn that thread into something that was completely off topic of what it was supposed to be... Let's not phrase this as some kind of noble act, it's really just people venting their frustration with RB. Which is none of my business, but I'm throwing my opinion out with everyone else's that this is unneeded. You guys are completely entitled to your opinions about how it's run or the people over there or whatever, don't get me wrong. But it does toxic to create a whole thread hating on another part of the fandom just because you personally had bad experiences. It's really not better than you're trying to make the other side out to be.

Just a note: RB has ditched vBulletin 3.x. and is now running on latest version of the XenForo platform. And it was about time.

Rangerboard grew to be so big because of PRC and it was one or the leading forums at the right time. Ray kept pushing the board to the top platforms. In the beginning the board was even crazier and had an anything goes atmosphere. Of course as it grew to be so huge and the internet changed so it became more tightly run.
Decade can be tough but I have to admit she has done a good job keeping the board going since Ray gave it to her. Its not easy to manage a forum like that.
The reason they are bigger then here is due to the fact the had a huge head start. Also many of there veterans don't want to post on other boards. This place also took a hit when the old Rangercrew closed and we moved to a new forum. Thats not a knock, overall this board has done a good job carrying that torch. Its not easy starting from scratch like that.
It seems like a lot of the other major PR Forums have shut down. We do have Henshin Justice and Toku Fusion for general toku. I know social media is the way now, but I still think there is a place for message boards. Social Media can be all over the place and harder to search. You also don have the privacy you have on a message board. Its hard for me to follow long discussions on facebook. We are also far from the only fandom to still use them.

That's right. And even now when I backtrack back to even PRE, I think it was more of a stroke of luck for it to have 10,000 regitered users at one point and to be as activa as it was. Even during numerious server issues, crashes, forum platform switchovers, fusion & de-fusion with another website and a couple of name changes it managed to stay very active. However, not as RB because of its longer internet history.
