Well it is interesting. 

I think some of it was unused Wall material, but it still shows some of the other characters. 

Well, I eventually want to get and listen to all 14 or so of their studio albums.

I haven't listened to that one yet. Most of the ones I have are from the 70s, except the Division Bell. 

Momentary Lapse of Reason?

Idk which album I should use next, though. I've used DSOTM and WYWH, and Animals. The wall has a pretty bland cover, but it's usable.... Hmm.... I could do some from before DSOTM. Like Meddle or something else they have...

Things can be moderation nightmares all the time. Our forum is probably more volatile than theirs. *cough* Science Labs! *cough*

A good roleplayer would still specify whichever one is which.

Like's aren't faceless. You know who's doing it. They're wordless. But, in some cases they also respond to you. And reps can equally be wordless. How can you prove that it's "just because"?

Also, technically, this forum is media, and social. So this forum, even when it was vBulletin, was social media.

Color choice is an opinion. To me it's perfectly fine.

I did have to use BBCode, and some features I just could not figure out. I could've looked up a guide, but they often didn't help me much, either.

Sometimes there are errors that can cause major problems. With software, incompatibilities and other problems can be damning. And it's entirely possible that it had more to with keeping the forums tidy than just nuking areas. It can be a moderation nightmare because it can be difficult to know if you were posting in character. A good role-player would use [INCHAR] tags. But most probably don't. Ummm... that's not indicative of anything. That's not the norm. Far from it. Just because they only need 2 guys (which might be full time moderating, btw) doesn't mean it's any less of a nightmare for them. And we suffer from something that's really bad for forums. People don't read earlier posts. That's a big problem. It's one of the reasons the facepalm thread was closed (RIP).

No, roleplaying isn't the problem. It's the roleplayers. Better rules for roleplaying would probably be more suited, but more roleplaying means more data storage, too. Cutting data storage use can help save money, especially if it's needed. And maybe they wanted to make room for the future data.

You can forget about the forum. Then it will be out of your mind. But that's not necessary. Take the good with the bad. And yes, if you look hard enough, there is good. Loads of it. But blinding yourself won't get you anywhere, either. Idk what you can lose, but it's certainly wasting storage space. And your time. You can leave the forum, if you want to. Saying things about it won't change anything. And saying nothing would have the same effect. Therefore you lose time.

Rep was cheap, too. It wasn't used as often because most people couldn't find the button! Honestly, though, no comment was even necessary to rep someone, and the button was hard to find. I often clicked the one right near it. And btw, your reasoning here is somewhat(albeit only somewhat) of a fallacy, since the opposite is equally true. You can give out a like after spending half an hour thinking about it, and if the recipient deserves it or not.

I can understand disliking the visuals. They are very bright. And of course there could be other problems that may be distracting. But could you elaborate somewhat on the functional changes? And I don't think it's being used as an excuse to do that, rather that was a byproduct which was difficult to avoid.

It's still mostly the same community. Well, saying things about things aren't going to change them. It's past the point of no return. It might be best to lay down your arms sometime real soon.

I never did do the roleplay stuff, but it does seem like it could result in a moderation nightmare. A separate forum could be used, if you're desperate.

Anyhow, it's functional, and that's fine by me, at least.

Plus, rep is a bit easier to get, since the like button is more obvious than the rep button was. That's a tiny plus...

On the phone it looks similar, at least it does to me... 

Speaking of which, how do I convert it from mobile to desktop version...?

What does that mean?

It's not quite finished, guys.

Okay... That's fine. Although I would have waited until it's all finished before opening anything, if possible.
