Great question! The old forum did have some great info and we've got several of the original moderators involved now, so the new NCB Forum will soon be bursting with lots of useful advice, ideas and info. What's of specific interest to you?

 Just in general, Donna.  I was a member for a LONG time.   There was years of information on the old forum and it really doesn't make sense to start fresh.

Glad to see the forum back, but disappointed also.

I feel your pain. The old forum was hijacked and sold out. Former embers came to us and asked us to restart it and put it on the right path. We're not able to recapture the old posts (which is extremely disappointing). Hope you'll be part of rebuilding a useful NCB Forum. As for the set-up, we're developing the features in response to member comments. I'm working on the footer and tags....

We are back and ready traverse new frontiers.

This could be the most confusing forum layout I have ever seen. Not a patch on the old forum.

The old forum was the best! I couldn't think of a situation in which a customer asked me an industry question that I wasn't able to get some great answers and/or advise from searching the forum, if I didn't have them myself.

Just having some of the shared knowledge of all the 'super studs' of the industry like senior hobbs, excellentbars, Ruben.... sooooo many that I can not even begin to list them all.

But it looks like this bad boy is starting to provide more and more helpful info again, so anytime any of you have some 'inside info' on industry practices, please share. This economy is a rough one for all, but it sure makes it easier when you have an industry behind you 'One for All and All For One'... anyway, just wanted to say thanks to those who have put so much time and information out there to help everyone in the industry as a whole!

Thanks for the comment Shotskis :)  I tried my best and want to continue to do so as i love helping out new and existing places :D Nightlife is my life!
