[QUOTE="Super Kami Guru, post: 1223, member: 22"] Zetaboards made a mistake merging with them, I feel. Tapatalk have a platform not unlike what ezBoard used to be (in fact, didn't they take over Yuku, which [I]was[/I] ezBoard at one point?), and while that platform had a place at one point in time, the ezBoard era is long over. Zetaboards was at least unique its' way and had a platform that made sense for those that used it, and had advantages over services like Proboards, but merging with something as unwieldy and what seems to be turning into a XenForo clone with far less control for the 'owner' of the board...it's just a poor choice. I think hosted forums will themselves fall by the wayside in short order, anyway, but that one in particular is unpleasant. Feels lot like another SocialStrata/Groupee situation waiting to happen ("hey, we were UBB, one of the most popular pieces of discussion board software, but vBulletin blew us away, now we're EVE, a hosted forum service, but now we're renaming ourselves to Groupee! No, now we're SocialStrata! Nah, now we're Hoop.la! Wait 20 minutes, we'll be back with a new name that no one wants to bother with!"). [/QUOTE]
