There are various fighting game forums scattered around, some under “discussion groups” and others under “strategey zone”. It would make more sense for the UMvC3 and, TTT2, SF4 forums to be put under strategy zone.
We have an Xbox Live forum, and then a subforum in online outlets. There are essentially 2 fighting game discussion forums, one of which is hardly used at all. And then most games are subforums for “fighting games”, while others have their own a main forum(like TvC and CvS2), even though those games are barely popular.
And while I’m at it, a few forums look like they could be eliminated all together, like “Domination 101” and “Misc Items”. I don’t know exactly what the purpose of dom101 is, but judging from the threads in it, it probably should be part of the newbie dojo.
I really liked the ‘like’ ‘lol’ ‘agree’ buttons. You could actually express an opinion without having to write a rather pointless ‘yeah I agree’, which made the forum a lot less cluttered while still giving a kind of numerical way of showing when someone was fucking retarded, or on point.
The new forum broke the character sub-forums.
In my case I’m specifically talking about the 3rd Strike Character forums:
There’s no way of telling if there’s been a new post in a character sub forum, since they don’t get marked in the index when someone posts a new comment.
(If there’s a new post in the general 3rd Strike forum, all the sub-forums in the index light up as if there’s been in a new post in them too. And they all get unmarked when you’ve read the new posts in the general 3S board.)
This problem has made the character forums useless, since no one can follow up on questions or anything.
I’ve tried to send this to the Vanilla tech guy months ago, but that did nothing.
Are we ever gonna get Vanilla posts up in here again? They looked like they were onto things when they became SRK’s provider but no such effort showing now…maybe there are responses that are somewhere else…?
Cross-post myself:
**WHY THE FLYING FUCK HAS VANILLA NOT FIXED THE SHITTY ASS HACK WHEREIN YOU CAN LOG IN AS UNKNOWN USER AND HACK LEGENDARY OLD POSTS?
IT IS ABSOLUTE FUCKING BULLSHIT THAT A YEAR LATER BOTS CAN STILL LOG IN AND DESTROY THREADS THAT HELPED BRING OUR COMMUNITY TOGETHER.
