I agree undead cow friend. These Emojis are better to “express” one’s self onto the forums in a better manner than mere puny words.

Much hate. … yeeeeeeeeeeeee.

6

Why did they make every comment take twice as much room? Together with the new scrolling, it’s just…

It’s the worst thing in the history of ever.
Including that thing you’re thinking of. Yes, that thing. You know the thing. That.

Yeah I am definitely not fond of this new format.

I have spent two hours on the new forums and I am about to tear my hair out…

First, I found out two weeks too late that threads with activity within the past two weeks got carried over. So I gotta recreate guild threads with none of the stories or conversations from the comments, unless I post them myself, but guess what. I can’t post a reply to my own thread until others have “participated.”

This is when I realised my DK Guide is ruined. Aside from the fact it wasn’t carried over and half the good stuff is in the comments, unless the character limit per post has been removed, I can’t recreate the extensive 20-post guide. And while searching for where to post such a guide on the new forums, just to see if it is possible to make a single post that long (I seriously doubt it, but won’t know until I try) I found…

My DH guide, which last had a post on Oct 30th, except it’s only the first post. AKA only the introduction and not the guide nor the comments. AKA a totally useless thread at this point, especially since I who made it don’t have permission to edit nor delete it on the new forum.

Oh, also, this lovely tidbit from the bottom of every thread: This topic will close a month after the last reply.
So if you’re a small guild, or your guildies don’t touch the forums, or for whatever reason nobody posts for a month, the thread is locked, goodbye, thanks for playing. o/

And the only understandable-but-still-annoying part of this list: I can’t post the same comment twice, even if the second time is in another thread, for another realm. This is annoying, because my guild exists on two realms and needs a guild thread on both realms and both threads need to be updated with the same information…

;screaming internally;

But what makes it difficult to post anything once a month on a forum, if GM/officers bothered creating a forum post in the first place?

You’d be surprised how many people never visit the forums, ever.

Then what is the purpose of creating a forum post? I just don’t follow the logic. If it is an advertisement of a guild - then yes, make sure to post once in a while, cause no one will do that for you; if it is a place to dump IC stories - then you post willy-nilly every so often; if it is a place to update the rest of the community what guild does - then I will really :question: as to why would I join such inactive guild that isn’t updating their existence at least once a month.

Threads closure is made to prevent necroing, which is nothing, but good.

Oh hey, and I can’t even post replies on most threads without changing characters arbitrarily. As in, the button to reply doesn’t even appear unless I shuffle through alts until I find one who can see and click Reply.

And I can’t reply to my own thread until others have “participated.” Don’t know about replying when I was the last to reply, but let’s find out!
EDIT: Okay, at least that works.

Blizzard, I guess, stopped wanting to use whatever they used previously, and instead went for Discourse. The same forum solution that certainly cemented that no EVE Online player actually wanted to use that game’s official forum, for example. Who was clamoring for a change, exactly?

It’s one way to lower your forum costs: Use a solution so terrible that 75% of your previously active population are instead using external forums. Like Reddit.
