^ I have no problem with such threads really  . Yeah it was just a silly thing to make fun of when taken out of context. I appreciate the sense of humor the community has but there's a small part of me that is dying when the evidence is right in front of me. Doomers flock to the joke threads and the introspective threads that require a bit more thinking just seem float away with the wind. |

Doomers flock to the joke threads and the introspective threads that require a bit more thinking just seem float away with the wind. Not necessarily, they do get their fair share of attention but ultimately if they're more serious or require specific knowledge not everyone is going to participate to the discussion. It takes some intellect to post there y'know, unlike troll/fun threads, so of course they'll look neglected in comparison. |

I always found that the more serious threads were just ticking time bombs waiting to go off. Enter someone like 40oz or myself into such threads and then suddenly there's a mob after us. |

There's a lot to not be interested in on Doomworld. I think there's entire subforums I've never even opened.

Well, I was born in 1990...but I still prefer The Ultimate Doom.
Either way, those were fun to read.

Doominati goons still think they're in the right. But they'll slip up and have a fatal error one day, one that destroys them for good. And I will be laughing.

It's as bland as the posting going on there.

I think it'll ultimately be a great and better theme than the old one, but right now there's still a lot of tedious things to fix.

Although the new IPS software doomworld uses has enabled a lot of useful things, I'm still pretty partial to the old vBulletin thing. There's something about the simplicity of it that I really like. As far as making improvements to a forum, it's my personal opinion that deleting unnecessary stuff is much better than adding good stuff.
I don't really see the benefits of 'liking' posts or posting laugh reacts or whatever. I much prefer to read text that people write than see these digital reactions to things.
Every once in a while I think about ways I can improve the layout of this forum and every time I'm leaning on simplifying things further. I think of stuff like having less buttons/tabs for the UI above, making avatars smaller, removing likes, removing unnecessary graphics, like the smilies, the background image (in favor of just solid black)
I don't really like having to wait to load things I ultimately have no use for, or click on too many things to get to where I want, or to be given all these options for customization when the defaults aren't very good to begin with. I just want the content that I want directly in front of me as soon as possible.

Blandness is not greatness, it's fine as it is IMO.

Doomworld got a new theme update. Thoughts? Better than before, I think. I didn't like the way a well-liked post stood out in comparison with the rest before. It is less prominent now, which is an improvement. For other my other thoughts, please see Glen's post four steps up. |

I like the "like" feature here... dunno, it's a way of telling someone they made a great post, and so you don't feel like the old man shouting at the sky.. ;P
I was actually hoping for avatars to be a slight bit bigger tbh, and push some of the text to the side so your eyes don't have to scroll as much horizontally to get to the next line.. it'd make korby posts a lot less daunting to read. haha.

Speaking of bland, here is the blandest thread ever. |

Reading through that thread made me think of the name of a play, and then especially this painting of the same. It's called " Much Ado about Nothing". |

Because anything even slightly more controversial than that (like not beating up conservatives) turns into a flame war and ends with the thread getting deleted.

How about making the "Like" button into the "I agree" button? Or something similar. It's mainly how I use it instead of typing up a two-word reply when I have nothing further to add, and I'm sure others do too. |
