*PBE vs ISFL (with help from iamslm22) - part 2

[37thchamber]

PBE website is jinck which just sucks so so hard, both ISFL and SHL have moved away from that terrible monster so no way PBEs is better

This. There is literally no objective advantage to jcink.

It uses an outdated, modded version of a mediocre forum software, and restricts access to the backend so you can't even mod out some of the flaws.
There were the semi-frequent fuck-ups on jcink servers that rendered the forums unusable...
Also there's the ads, and shitty spam protection...

The only possible argument you can make in favour of jcink is familiarity... and that's a terrible argument, frankly.
It's probably also worth noting that right now we've already got a smoother functioning forum and we're not even using a quarter of the functionality of this software.

I just want to be on record that I think Dermott is the best commissioner in ISFL history - and I don't think it's particularly close.

Our specific 5 man HO unit had to have the best approval rating of all time, and we were very receptive to community feedback.

I don't know that I'd say he was the best, but I definitely rate his time as commish pretty highly.
Even if part of that is just because he let me build shit for this place without going through proper processes lmao.

I think there's a strong case to be made that Bex has done better in terms of co-ordinating, organising etc. But there's obviously a lot going on with the role (and the state of the league in general is very different) so it's difficult to really make an objective comparison imo.
