hey Aaron, I was wondering if anyone here would possibly be interested or if you would be able to add a forum for fixing, modifying electronics where we can swap manuals and scematic on things we need help with. I know I have personally posted a few questions on things I would like to service...

I can add an "Electronics Repair" subforum under the main Electronics area. Is that what you're looking for ? 
I am also SLOWLY working on updating the whole site, which will include a new version of the forum with many improvements.

hay Arron
heres a thought to consider
go to http://invisionfree.com/ and make a whole new board, like an update and in the new board post a link to the old board
i get angry with slow loading boards and this is one of the slower ones on my list
just a thought

Slow? There are occasional slowdown times, but I surf this forum every day and page transitions are about 1 to 2 seconds, which is faster then most forums I visit. Is there a specific point where find it slow?
I just surfe a few random forums on that website. This is my impression:
1. The server seems fast
2. However, each page bogs down my browser to the point where it hangs for a minute rendering
3. Full of ads
Aside from those issues, moving to a 3rd part would mean:
1. Less control. Since this forum currently sits on a server in my basement, I can do basically anything I want with it.
2. Backup. How am I supposed to backup a forum hosted by a 3rd party?
3. What if they decide to close down? I assume the forum data is lost.
4. Or what if they start charging?
Now, I do agree that this forum is a little out of date. I'm running a very old version of Snitz, from about 2000 or so. There have been several upgrades. I just have not had the time to actually apply them. The current hope is that this winter I will update the site.

the only part of your site thats slow is the message boards area
the project page is nice and fast
as for backups
invision boards does backups
you will have to contact them about when though
im not saying you must do this
it was just a thought
Good luck with those updates
