The site itself has changed layouts and formats many, many times to keep up with modern site design. However, you can probably notice that these forums are still pretty antique(not to mention clunky and unusable to the moderators). If we as a community would like to see change, we need to make that evident. Why don't we get a discussion going about what you all would like to see added to/changed about the forum. This can be anything from features you see on other forums, to ideas for a new sleek design to make this place look slightly less "boring as all heck".
Healthy debates are encouraged so long as you don't devolve it into a petty flame war over Person B not liking your idea of a red background. Keep it clean, and have at it.
I'll start off: A forum design that actually matches the site design. Right now we look like that old pewter statue from 1912 hanging in the back of an electronics shop because of "sentimental value". I'd like to see some flair added here and there, just to make browsing a bit more appealing to the eye. |

I for one would like to see visual and structural changes to the forums. New features would be nice, considering the forums have been the same for some (5?) years
"stop trying to get attention by being all sophisticated" I don't see anything wrong with the original post. Anyone can post in whatever style they wish- content is all that matters. It wouldn't have done him much good if he posted in a format like this:
"hi guys wat are your thought on new looks for the forums" |

Suggestions and Ideas?
But that's where you post suggestions of your own. I'm asking for community input on ways to improve the forum--I don't see how that in itself is a suggestion. But I guess you're free to completely ignore the point of this thread and act like you own the place. |

Monork I'm being a troll. You of all people should know this.
I've given up being all smart and stuff for these people. It's gotten tiring. I've also learned in order to obtain any type of job here you have to be in the region of Silicon Valley, which is another downfall.
Oh well.

You thought what you were doing was trolling?
In that case, I've given up on anyone here being all smart and stuff. |
