^^Dude CPops, use adblock on Firefox. You won't see any of those Ads.

Anyway, all of the topics on the Baseball forums are from last year instead of the ones that people made today. Might want to fix that.

I'm sure this is for the better. Why else would it be done? We'll all get used to it.

A lot of threads from the first page are no longer there. Any point looking for them or are they simply gone?

It could be worse. Most of the changes we will get used to. Getting quick reply back needs to be a priority, though.

I do like being able to use hex colors. The old colors were limiting. GRAY!

I disagree with the idea of permanently blocking ads.

Site owners work hard to provide content and a platform for discussion. They need to make money to exist.

But if a site puts on so many ads that it outweighs the advantages, I'd just choose not to visit anymore.

It's hard to read the list of topics. I takes you a good 30 seconds to read every topic title since they're so jammed together. The other one you could skim along in seconds and decide where you wanted to go next.

I like it, besides the longer load times and the quick reply.

I give this new board a two thumbs down - not a fan.

Too much info jammed in, old board was so much easier to navigate - this is digression.

There's always the Hoopshype forums. Which is VERY reminiscent to the old RealGM.

+1. The old board was perfect and easier to access. I've had to re login like 4 times already in 10 minutes for no reason, and no quick reply? Uch. Simple was better. If it aint broke dont fix it. RGM had one of the better layouts of messageboards I'd seen, now its one of the worst.

I'm weirded out, and these amorphic smileys aren't helping. The colour scheme's bugging me a bit too, as well as all the obvious features. And the new post thing is frustrating as hell.

Testing.
