You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I think this is more of Septagon material. A mod will move it for us though. As for the topic at hand I like the layout. It is really clean compared to a lot of other forums I have visited. As for the size of it all I can say is you don't need the whole page to post a thread or a reply. As for the PM system Achronos knows about it and is working on it.

The mods won't take this as an insult. Well most of them anyways. ;)

The layout is fine. It feels very comfortable, in my opinion. Everything is right there and easily accessible.

The only problem is finding Links and FAQ's can be an arduous task. Even when you know where to find them, sometimes taking a wrong turn can lead you on a wild goose chase. I'll agree that the helpful Links and FAQ's should be easier to get to.

Other than that, things are pretty nice. The bottom Nav bar needs to be changed (and I hear it will be in the future.)

*edit* I agree with Achilles about this being more Septagon suited.

Now that you've taken the time to look at my sig, I actually regret not providing you with something more worthwhile.

I think the layout of your face is bad. OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH SNAP!

bad joke FTW!

Go Chiefs

I guess the layout isn't that good if you can't find The Septagon.

I agree with the ICEMAN on this one. The forum's layout is unique and comfortable to me. I loves it. And atleast it's not just a simple PPHBBP build with some dumb skin over it.

Also...lol, good joke!

I agree with Ice in that it does feel comfortable. The only gripe I could pick is that the post option buttons are kind of large, always have been.


You think b.net forums have bad layout, take a little visit to HBO. I stopped going there like 3 years ago because it's more like a damn e-mail format than anything. It's teh sux.

Because quite frankly it is bad, the forums itself it too small, it all seems all bunched up toghether and I think that there is something wrong with the PM system. Modes, I am not trying to be insulting or anything, I'm just stating my opinion.


Squished together?


CTRL + MOUSE SCROLLER = GOOD!!!!

Honestly, the forums are one of the better designs I have seen today. They are different from the traditional approach. It is easy to see what everyone wrote instead of scrolling through half a thread of just sigs and pictures.

QFT. I swear you go to other websites and you'll find replies that took all of 2 sec. to type but you'll find scans of handmade macoroni homages to Samus.

I once saw a sig dedicated to Richard Simmons. I left that site after being "exposed" to that.

  • 11.16.2006 11:29 AM PDT

If I had seen this thread a week ago, I would have totally moved it to The Septagon (where discussions about the site itself belong).

To be truthful, I think this site has one of the best layouts. I haven't had a chance to deal with too many forums, but the ones I have visited are far more confusing than this one (in my opinion). Anyway, you may not like it now, but you'll get accustomed to it eventually.

  • 11.16.2006 11:42 AM PDT

Wait... You're not a mod anymore either? What did I miss?

I've challenged my beliefs. What is the book about?


I find that this is usually untrue. If religious people honestly, diligently and intelligently challenged their beliefs, there would be no religious people.

Yeah, it's good, but missing a few things, like post count :(

  • 11.16.2006 11:56 AM PDT

And how would a post count be beneficial? I always like to know why people think something like that is necessary.

It's not beneficial, it just lets me know how much more of my life I have wasted as opposed to other people.

Post count would bring more wrath than good.

actually, not really. I'm a memeber of a site that has a post counter, and it's kinda cool to look at the post count thingy. Makes you know who are the more active members and stuff.
