MCB Forum is reopened!

Post by betascollector »

Yesterday, I saw a e-mail by Rob Jansen tell me that the MCB forum is reopened.
MCB Homepage revised by me as there is any mispellings wrote:Forum reopened.
Yes, you saw it correct, the forum has returned and has been reopened, if you had an account before, it is still active and welcome back!, The forum is here to stay, make sure you read the rules once more.

Yes, I don't see any reason for him to come to BA when he can promote his own site.

His site is not like BA, and it would be great if he returned, he contributed a lot...

Well, IMO it indeed is like BA except for FTP servers ofcource!
EDIT: BTW, what was his reason of leaving BA?

BA is a community with a board, FTP servers, etc.
MCB is a site where you can find information about various Microsoft products... simmilar to UltraWindows. The board is just an extra.

So it's not the same IMO...

A question has been left unanswered! Tell me if it's forbidden to discuss that here or PM me.

I don't think it's forbidden and IDK why he left, but he probably won't return, it's in 99% of such cases when someone leaves they don't return (pretty much like KenOath)...

Well it's good he returned. His site is very useful, much more useful than other beta information sites.

Well he told us via Ultrawindows that he left BA because of the noobs and their stupid questions. Anyway, I'm glad that he reopened the forum again since I'm a member in it before the suspension.

well I see version 7.5 of MCB is getting a bit outdated, I hope the forum says some announcements for it.

You know that instead of doing that you could have emailed him and telling 'bout that?

It's really easy to point other people's errors but it's not easy to help, right? 8-)

Usually I try to defend this guy because he's obviously pretty young but I have to agree. There are errors in everything, so with that attitude you wouldn't even trust school textbooks or encyclopedias.

I never knew the site existed and I don't see how it's competition if it's mainly an organized repository of information about Microsoft products. I'm glad to have found out about it.
