Considering NR is no longer an AOhost product and AOhost effectively doesn't exist ... I think a new banner is needed.

Use it for now, but seriously - we discussed making NR a Tsugaming product, rather than an AOhost product so putting the forums here then putting an AOhost banner is kinda confusing.

I'd say leave it for now, but once we get a good Tsugaming logo, use that. You could use the tsugaming banner if you wanted, too.

And yeah, that graphic did kinda suck (for tsuservers)

Yeah, the permissions were all messed up. That was my fault. I was kinda in a rush when I set them up, lol.

Everything should be good now. I asked Lee how he wanted each forum set up and I think it's been done properly.

I find the old forums where somewhat more organized, but that may just be because I hate forums with so many levels of subforums.

And this style sucks, although I realize phpBB3 has very few usable styles for the time being considering it's current development stage.
I'd rather enable the option to let members choose their preferred style rather than being forced to use one, you mostly only have the same style in different color themes anyways so I don't see the problem.

I don't really see the point to merging forums, all you do is bring more members into the community who most likely won't be active because if they really cared they would have registered on both forums, not one.

It's a consolidation effort.

We don't have just one or two sites ... we have about 10 right now; and we're growing more each day. So if we can keep a strong forum system at the center of it all and build separate websites around that, then that is the most effective.

I do this sort of thing for a living - so trust me when I say "it's effective".

And, yes, I don't care for the theme either. But this forum system doesn't have very many choices (though there are better ones lol) right now.

EDIT:

Yeah, these forums here may seem more concise because we've consolidated discussions into fewer forums and dropped many others (like the support forums since those discussions take place somewhere else now).

I dont like all the sub forums either, you want to put them together fine, I just think there needs to be more seperation so i dont end up on some damn board I dont give a sh*t about.
