Interesting stats so far - 1/3 for each of the options - fairly divided opinions on this one.
I would return to the old forum for a couple of reasons:
- Stickies in this thing annoy me - it means that old posts are stuck up the top and I'm forever reading and re-reading posts that have already been read (inadvertantly)
- I've been going to the old forum for a few years, can't help but feel like I belong more there than here.
- Despite what others tell me, I strongly believe this forum is a lot slower. Having to load everyone's avatars all the time, especially moving ones, must slow it down a fair bit. I'm not a fan of slow forums, and this one strikes me as slower than the original forum.
- I don't know what it is but the old forum was easier to read - having two main areas of discussion also helped. Here you have to sort through a mixture of topics - its inconvenient at worst, but hey.
- All the fancy stuff, etc, has its moments but I'm usually one for more simplicity than anything.
- Final reason: Because if the forum gets back up online then I want to make sure I see the flying pigs over in Wayne's World.
