For me, the preference for using the SDMB is that 1)I’m on here all the time and I can read other stuff while game play is slow and 2)I’m familiar with the interface, whereas when I go to Proboards I get confused easily looking at all that extraneous stuff. I’m sure I could get comfortable with Proboards too if necessary.
The advantage of playing at Proboards is that we can have one thread per Day, so it’s much easier to isolate a specific Day for examination. All the threads are grouped in a single forum, so in the long run its easier to find a specific post.
I think a multi-thread game would be a bit difficult here, even now.
The other nice thing about Proboards is that you it’s a lot easier to review a specific player: just search for all posts by that player. An occasional off-topic post will come up, but you can ignore those. For a lot of players here at the SDMB that’s not as easy to do.
It’s also much easier to allow for more complex background managing stuff, while these boards are more suited for the “simple” Mafia games.
But I can’t really talk about such things…
