I like how the website looks. It has a nice layout on the desktop platform. Generally I would agree with the OP that things have gotten silly. With the mainstream taking over gaming it is really gotten to a point where everything is aimed at being super simple and rewarding you for clicking. I guess a lot of people actually feel they are doing something worthwhile when they earn an achievement of sorts on a message board or in a game. Usually the achievements that are most rewarding are not something that is coded into the game. Better to let peopled decide form themselves what is worthwhile and what is not IMO. On message boards there isn't really a need for it at all, but I guess these are now necessary features that allow for competition with things like twitter and facebook unfortunately.

True enough. I'm not sure if this will lead to better posts, or more in-depth posts, or more critical posts. It might, which would be good, since that's why I like these forums. But the opposite might happen, which would be a shame.
Then again, we still have the blogs for that sort of thing, don't we?

Yep, and blogs are even getting much more visible and awesome in the new site too.
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.
OK, where did the '5 recently posted forums banner' go on the front page of MMORPG. It was the biggest draw of your site for me as I could see what people we talking about at a glance; Where did it go?

If you click on the forums tab it's still there, in a new form tho.

Daft. Sure, its helpful at the start of the forums section for sure, but it should also be on the cover page of the site. When I come to this site, I want to see everything at a glance....articles, videos, and recent forums chats. All of these things are great for keeping up with what is going on, not just via articles, but based on what people are talking about. Half the time, someone has posted a forum hit on something news-worthy before the MMO staff can even write about it.
Being honest, if I have to dig for that section now I prolly wont use it anymore....i'll just forget about it.

I truly believe the "lol" option at the bottom of each post is a very bad idea. Every single forum that uses it has it corrupted by it being used to insult the poster as "laughing at" and not in good humor.

Best to take it right off.
I have heard of this, it was raised in the thread discussing the new forums. They can always drop It if things get bad, but I would hope we are better than that.
Well I have to say quoting seems better. Used to be a pain to separate my first line from the other posters. And some times it multiple boxed the post. Also I can now cut and paste, I used to have to switch to all browsers for that.

Enjoy and know the truth always comes to light!
Not everyone may agree with the new format and I realized that I myself need sometime to get use to it.
But I am glad that MMORPG.COM has continue the tradition of making its forum F2P without any pay2win features

Testing out if my first quote or smiley use gets me a new badge. We are suposed to grind for badges, maybe? It's an mmo forum afterall
Edit: edit works too.

You stay sassy!
As noted in the main suggestions/bugs thread (here - http://forums.mmorpg.com/discussion/438132/post-new-forum-bugs-issues-here ), it's coming back soon! Should be up today, we hope.
