Stop complaining. Now. This is a free site that is provided to you. The ignorance a lot of users are displaying towards the new change angers me to no end. I usually don't make rant topics, but I feel like this is needed.
1st off, you are complaining about the look: That change happened what, 3 days ago? Do you honestly expect everything to be all set up in that amount of time? Please, I'm sure the staff knows twhat they are doing and are currently working to the best of there abilities to address the issue. They don't need your insults on top of it. I'm not trying to be a suck-up here, but I know how hectic life can be, and when I read the ignorance some of the users display it sets me off.
2nd: Yes, before, the site was integrated so it felt like one site. Now it isn't, but that doesn't mean it won't ever. Once again, to compliment my last point, time is needed. I don't know why you expect everything to be perfect right away. Patience is a virtue, and should be displayed here. The integration is being worked on.
3rd: People who are telling the staff to change the site back. Who the hell do you think you are to tell, on a free site no less, the people who work here to change a site back. Yes, our opinion matters to the site, but ultimately, it's the sites decision and not ours, you can either deal with it our leave. The forum users are the minority here.
4th: The people who say it isn't worth it. Once again, how can you come off saying that. Let's make a pro's and con's list.
Enhanced security-Pro
Calendar-Pro
Buddy list-Pro
Faster loading times-Pro
User Friendly Control Panel-Pro
More Customizabilit via CP-Pro
80 posts per page-Pro
Option to disable any part of a post-Pro
Option to Ignore people's posts-Pro
Potential to be better than the php board-Pro
Confusing navigation-Con
Having to get used to a new look-Con
Not integrated well with the main site-Con
Temporary glitches and downtime-con
So lets see. In the switch we the only real thing we lose is the old look of the site. Although, if you look at what we gain, having to adept to a new look is worth the pro's. Not only that, but enhanced security is better for the entire site. Putting your preference over the state of the site is selfish, especially since we don't know much about the security issues.
All the other cons will be solved in time, waiting isn't that hard to do. I really don't want to see any more ignorant posts about the state of the site and your personal preferences. If it is a post that brings up a valid point, then sure, but if it deals with something that will be fixed in time, please drop it.
I really hope this post doesn't get interpreted the wrong way, I just hope it sends a message to all the unhappy users out there. As bandit posted, no one has even thanked the staff for the work they put into this. Let the site fix itself, then, if you are unhappy voice your complaints, not during. You wouldn't order a pizza and expect it to be at your door as soon as you hang up the phone, it's the same here.
