Why did we even switch to the new forums?

Discuss aspects of the community itself and talk about the people and ideas that make this place work.

To the extent of my knowledge, it was the host (forumer) which was causing a lot of problems with the forum, so it was moved to theRealN, which is owned by Dave.

And you call it a "badly designed, horribly colored and dissapointing forum". While i'm pretty sure everyone is entitled to their own opinion, you're a dick. If you don't like the design, use a different skin. If you don't like the skins, make your own. If you don't like anything on this forum, maybe you can put in the incredible effort needed to make your own. Oh, but make sure that it satisfies the demands of every single person who uses it. Anything less would make you a hipocrite.

Various parts of the forum are still under construction, so things don't look ideally as good as what it will be. Have patience.

And it certainly wasn't built by three to ten guys without the aid of thousands of slaves. If there's a problem with Rome, maybe people need to start slaving harder and stop counting so much on their military leaders. We're all busy enjoying lush orgies.

I really don't see why we left perfectly good forums to this badly designed, horribly colored and disappointing forum.
You are not serious. You can't be serious. I refuse to accept this term. This forum is better than the old one, period. Also, it beats Forumer's hosting and actually brings this to TheRealN hosting (under phpBB), with better adverts. Should I remind you of Forumer? Yeah, that should work. I think a good move was done here.

Many a reminder to all the Muslim Singles out there.

And have you seen all the new BBcodes? The colors? We can even edit posts now, it's wonderful. As already stated, it's still under construction, but even then, it's still better than Forumer. It's that good, and to those who feel awkward to the new layout will get used to it. The Forums are currently going through the biggest revamp era since the new skin in the old forums, and should be enjoyed, rejoiced, and participated upon as much as possible.

Since you made that more recent comment about the skins, I'll cross off "horribly colored". And while I could list all the stuff that I think is better about these forums, like Animator did, I think it would be more beneficial if you elaborated on what you feel is "badly designed" and "disappointing".

And as for you, Condog, you're a mod now. I think we've all noticed you've become harsher in the past few months, but since acquiring modship, you haven't toned it down any. I, for one, strongly disagree with your initial response in this thread. It was destructive and uncalled for. You were responding to spuzalot, not some troll or flamer. What's the deal?

Postby Evil_Sire » 2008.11.05 (15:36)

I believe the move was also hacker-friendly too, mare, raigan and kablizzy all got hacked in the old one, I suspect it was very easy to hack into it and destroy the whole thing. That's why we had the blue_tetris take over.

Anyone could edit posts on the old forum. Metanembers could delete their posts and edit their posts without the 'Edited by' line.

Im sorry Blue_tetris and others involved in making the new forum. I was out of line and should not have said that. These are good forums I just didnt take the time to explore them and test them out. Im not someone that is used to change. Im sorry if I insulted you guys in anyway.

I'm not the least bit insulted. I think identifying problems is the first step in solving them.

Well, I, for one, hate these forums. Ugly, hard to navigate, and the ads are just skewed younger.


Plus, on the last forum, when it came down to it, you know who we could count on? Keron. No Keron here, except maybe passively. Just fucking LittleViking.

Also, this new swearum is so vulgar.
