Guest Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I noticed that this forum has the same "design" as the war thunder form, just kerbalized... Link to war thunder forum. Notice how it is the same as this sort of: https://forum.warthunder.com/ Spoiler Note that I'm not trying to attack anyone here, I jsut noticed that both KSP and War Thunder forums looked kinda the same and I don't know if anyone knows about this or if there might be copyright issues.

HvP Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 (edited) It's just because they use the same off-the-shelf forum software by Invision Power Services. The templates are customizable up to a point, but the basic layout is used by lots of different websites. Edited April 4, 2017 by HvP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Yep. Same software. Also, moved to Kerbal Network, since it's about the forum rather than the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceception Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 It felt odd looking through the site, like familiar, but different at the same time. Also, why don't we have 'Outstanding' after 'Excellent' for rep if it's the same software? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypercosmic Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 I've been to Mine-imator forums before. The same as this and that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rep ranks don't mean anything when there is no negative rep. The more you post, the more you get. Rep is a matter of how long you've been there rather than how "well" you've been there. If you value rep look at rep/post ratio rather than absolute rep, and even then the fact The Lounge doesn't count towards your post means that rep/post ratio is not a guarantee of the quality of what a user will post.

Those titles are customizable but we've left them as the defaults. I'd prefer that people not obsess over rep more than they already do, and fancier titles would likely encourage that.

KSP forum members obsess over things like dots under the user name, rep count, and ranking? Whodathunkit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanamonde Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Both forums use the same software. We both pay a company that owns the copyright. No legal problems involved. Theirs looks slightly different because they've chosen some different settings. That's the whole story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly no. The old forum software had this feature, of which I and several others availed. Under IPS it's a global, all-or-nothing setting; I think we might have a riot if we forcibly turned it off for all users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Can someone close this? And please, this was not a chat room for rep. It was a question for forum designs. If the question is not clear to you, then I don't know what to do with you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
