What The Fuck

[Stabwound]

Change the forum titles and be done with it. It's not worth getting into a big uproar over admins or bannings or whatever. It is a fucking internet forum for a videogame. I've never seen any other forum where people whine and bitch over what the admins do, like it's such an important thing.

And again, for the record, I dislike DangerGirl and Sarien, and I find it laughable that an idiot like Rudy goes from being a no-name fuk to an smod, and suddenly thinks he's king shit.

[kthx]

See what happens when I don't login for a week, staff has more time to do changes like this instead of discussing banning me, instant impact. And how you like the new improved Sarien, becoming a forum rebel in some attempt to seem edgy now that he isn't a forum mod, probaly wearing black in real life and clicking his fingers to a guy reading poetry. How does it feel becoming the guy you despised so much you banned even though you knew it would cost you your powers, see how much it means in the end?

[Aquatiq]

You guys really are something else. So rough, tough and callous toward each other in normal conversation, with your witty pictures and contrived sports journalist-esque responses, yet harmless changes to the forum's appearance make you break down and beg for mercy.
"The forum titles changed? OH MY GOD, now everything's fucked! Damn those admins trying to further their political forum agendas."

Stewie: That's you. That's what you sound like.

Nothing against the people who take the changes for what they are and still dislike them, I'm sure the admins wouldn't have made the changes if they couldn't take the criticism (obviously, they will take actual constructive criticism more seriously than finger pointing and some kid's eRage).

I feared this, it's like Africa all over again.

[kthx]

Out of everything that changed, the one thing that got changed that hurts me the worst is that they took out that classic simpsons quote for the Trash Talk sub-forum... "Lets Fight! Thems fightin words" I can't believe you would remove such a great simpsons moment like that for the trash thats up there now. Since we are making demands, I demand that the trash talk sub-forum be re-undertitled "Lets Fight! Thems fightin words".

"Pub Chat" works for me.

Then again, Pub Chat refers to the Pub Chat in the game, right. Since when has there been anything good said in the Pub Chat in the game, there is more useless crap being said there then is in our "Black Hole", so by creating the illusion the general discussion is a Pub Chat you are paving the way for all kinds of nonsense and useless crap to be posted there.

Well, I dunno then. I have no problems with Rudy or DangerGirl. I may not agree with the title changes, but like I said it's not the end of the world. I prefer the more "official/proper looking" titles, but the forum admins prefer otherwise. They are the admins, they'll do what they see fit. That's how I view things.

Conspiracy theories

Yet t0ne is banned...

Coincidence? You decide.

[Ewan]

I'm not too bothered by the name chanegs, it's a little odd but nothing to cry about. It might be a little weird for newer people though, we've been improving the site and getting word about Continuum out to try and attract new players. The old names for the forums were to the point, anyone with no knowledge of the game would understand what each forum was for. Now they're either a reference to something in-game, or just a weird name. I'd suggest maybe a re-think on the name changes, either something so that anyone can instantly understand what that forum is for, or just back to the old ones.

As for the skin, I've have mine set on "TW Old buttons" for years now, so didn't even know it changed (I knew it was going to be changed at some point soon) until people were whining about it. I don't think this is a particularly big point for themto whine about though as if they don't like it, they can simply change it back.

One feature that would be nice is to have "TW Forums old buttons" with the new features such as multiquote.

I am?

[Sleuth]

I dunno, I think I'm actually the only person who isn't going bat shit crazy over colours.

Just an FYI: You can change your themes back in Options to before.

ape shit*

[Squeezer]

For the last fucking time everyone (especially you aquatiq), it's not about the actual changes, which are in fact minimal and although lame, not world shaking. It's about the overall non chalance of the staff in making decisions like this. Did anyone complain about the skin, or the forum titles? No. Then what's the need to fix them? Not to be cliche, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. These issues do stem all the way back to Sarien, who did not appease the upper staff, but was liked by the everyday population of TWforums. They removed him and initially refused to say why. From then on, it's been a downward slope of an Us vs. Them mentallity for the posters and staff. Now, it's reached the point where the staff of these forums, who are nonexistent save for when they're defending themselves, do whatever they want and brush aside any amount of criticism, whether constuctive or not. Where were their open ears in the case of Sarien's removal? Though almost all of the daily forum browsers believed Sar was doing a good job, they made their decision final and threatened to close the very thread full of people's criticisms (most of which were constructive).

Looking at this as a simple change of forum names does make the issue appear silly, but when you put it into the broader context of the big picture, it's just another thing the staff of these forums have done without consulting the users, only to wave their dominance in our faces when we contest it.

[Aquatiq]

Are you done?

[Liquid Blue]

it's easier for some people to just see this as more whining, Squeezer. Let's not think about the shit that's been going on for the past few months, let's just look at the initial situation.

I just wanted to mention that vykromond is the best and everyone is jealous.
