Where do you do AWs?

Same here..."New Posts".
Also, I haven't been at AWs very long but I've noticed there are quite a few features regarding this site that are really spiffy. I belong to a Law Enforcement site (I'm a former Cincinnati Police Officer) as well as a Ford Mustang site (I own an '01 Mustang Bullitt GT) and the features at those sites pale in comparison to the ones here.

For the record...
Some dude was in my Dunkin' seat today.
Not good.
I gave him "the look".
He departed the pattern.
JOY!

That's because they're probably run by cheap bastards. Forum software (for pay) isn't that expensive, and it's much better than the free stuff out there. AW used to run off of vBulletin which was phenomenal....until it wasn't. vBullentin went down hill pretty fast. When that happened, Websan moved the forum over to Xenforo.
Vbulletin was a nightmare (database crashes and very poor performance. Long load times for pages) to administer there before I switched to xenforo. Then after I made the switch. Vbulletin sued xenforo and for a year or so all development on xenforo software came to a halt. Grrrr. But xenforo won about 7 months? Ago and they are doing a great job rolling out features and performance enhancements. I am actually one update behind. The latest update has some pretty cool features.
Out of curiosity, are the other buttons coming back, like "funny," "stupid," "bad gouge," etc. or was that something exclusive to vbulletin?
Interesting. I never really noticed any performance issues when AW ran on vBulletin. And I've admin'd vBulletin for several other boards and never had any performance or administration issues with it until the latter years. There's a lot of things that impact database performance outside of the database itself. That said, if I was going to start a brand new board tomorrow, I wouldn't use vBulletin anymore.
At the end of the day, obviously webmaster has 51% of the vote, but the last time it came up, I think it was decided they weren't coming back.
Yeah let's see if I remember them all. Like, dislike, agree, disagree, funny, dumb, and bad gouge. Bad gouge made sense, because if someone saw a post, but didn't see the reply saying "No, you're way off and you're an idiot," they might take it as fact, but seeing "Bad gouge x 7" right on the post (where we see "likes" now) made it more obvious. But I can see why they're gone, convos devolving into battles of negative rep and whatnot.Say what?
There was a "bad gouge" button?
That IS hilarious...AND awesome!
