Quote - I must admit, I do miss the old forums too. The new doesn't seem friendly even on visual terms. That stark white feels, err, threatening and serious. Slate grey was nice...

 

Exactly!

 

That's one of the things I dislike most about the forum.  It's so hard and cold to look at.  I used to have the background color black on the old forum just to make it easier on my eyes with the contrasting letters, but now there's not even an option for that.

And everything's just all spaced-out... and bland.  So uninviting.

I'm still willing to check it out for the shop and upcoming products, but you can't really get a good thread going on a board that doesn't update sequentially.

I also miss the old event threads that used to hype up products before they came out.  Now they just churn them out without so much as a word.  It's all just turned very cold :(
