I see many people don't like the fact that ra3 baords are going down. And i really can't let you guys feel sad, so i want to give it a try. Here is the problem: whoever the admin of this site is, he does not replay to emails (seems like) So if there is somebody out there who knows the admin of ra3boards, please ask him if he could just pm me here or just pm me his contact detail., I'd really love to speak with him. Thanks a lot. see you on Sunday ConquerCup!

1 of the features i liked was being able to see a complete history of all past games and who your opponents were.

Other advantages I saw:
- easier to find out about smurf accounts
- 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 games counting for the ladders
- possibility to "follow" other players through the use of the leaderboards

RA3Boards doesn't make my eyes hurt.

EAs site is from a design perspective horrible, imo.

i wonder why the RA3Boards.com feature i named became so popular then...
its great having all these people carefully reading all my posts now!

i used to just just hit the gamespy site with my own query strings
its faster than the site itself...

The RA3boards interface has been particularly useful for monitoring smurfs and helps us in verifying disconnect reports. I would need to use both EA and gamespy ladder to look up a smurf and cross reference a date a particular game was played. RA3boards is just easier since it's in one place. We need an easy to use system to process DC accusations, otherwise no one would be willing to verify DCs and send the list of bad accounts to Apoc/2Apoc's anti-cheat team.

your precise "user requirements" will be helpful in "rebuilding" a new version of "RA3Boards.com".

So does anyone here know the admin? I'd like to see ra3boards back. I mean, it was a nice replacement for the clanwars that don't exist without ra3boards. We'd have to use the Ra3 Clanwars ladder system stuff. which wasn't often used sad.gif

But i especially like how ra3boards was so simple and stuff. I have to find another website to make a new sig with >.<

gonna miss ra3boards. and i'm definetly gonna be watching conquercup biggrin.gif always!

if DolphinRider from RA3Boards.com does not return any emails or communications from anyone by Friday I am going to start rebuilding RA3Boards.com from scratch.
The first aspect of RA3Boards.com I will implement will be the parts of the system you use to process
DC accusations.

If the RA3Boards.com guy does come back and start up the board again then you have 2 tools to use.
Just in case 1 goes down for some reason.

I still find RA3boards interface so much easier to use imo, the one that gamespy has is very not user friendly, and you can only see 6 players at a time.
RA3boards you could see the entire list of matches played...
