Website Update

In May 2017, the mods announced that the SAMB was going to be updated. The current server had been running for several years, and the mods decided it would be easier to move the files onto a new system rather than attempt to patch all the problems. The pre-update SAMB's banners and borders were more textured and ornamental. The new version was the same layout as the newer forums (i.e. WoFMB, Horizon, etc.) with clean, rounded lines and a simpler font.
Some SAMBers weren't completely on board with the change. They argued that the original format gave the SAMB character. In their minds, the new version was too generic. They were disparaging enough to offend the WoFMBers, whose forum had the very layout those SAMBers were bashing. Relations between the forums weren't great to begin with, and the protests over the update contributed to the SAMB-WoFMB flame war.
