This forum is kind of bland and doesn't provide nearly as many options as we should be able to have. I'm not trying to sound rude or anything but when I used to program and I had people on my server the cheapest forum software I would use was Vbulletin which is only like $300. Please take this into consideration :) |

So good of you to volunteer the $300. Normally people suggest CCP spend money without a thought to assisting them. By the way, this IS the "new" forum. Anyone with any sense has already left town. |

It's okay don't get me wrong but it doesn't provide too many features for the amount of playerbase that actually uses the forum. The forum is very bland and has nearly no effort put into it. I'm very picky when it comes to forums as you can see lol. |

He didn't volunteer $300, he did what my wife does: find a good deal, then try to sell me on the idea of buying it for her.

Hi. I'm new to EVE and I wanted to make a suggestion that in one stroke makes me A.) seem brilliant and insightful, and B.) gets me noted as a significant new-comer. SO...I decided to choose the forum software. You know, this forum software seems kinda sucky. I've used other forums and they let you put banners and pictures and stuff RIGHT in the middle of the posts. Hell, it may take half an hour to scroll down just ONE post, but hey, I can find really cool pictures on the internet along with the best of them.
CCP, get on this right away. And, when you're done with that, you STILL haven't painted my kitchen. I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility toward every form of tyranny over the mind of man.-á |

VBulletin completely sucks to administrate. And in return for that suckage, you still don't get a "filter out the stupid" button. Turrents |

But if we get new forum software, ill have to go back to being a real person instead of an evolved automated trolling computer program that successfully passes the Turing Test.

Compared to the old forums this is positively luxurious.
The discussion you're trying to start is a couple of years out of date, we went through this when somebody at CCP broke a perfectly good open source forum package to make the current iteration of the forums, they've kind of fixed it since then, we can't log in as Devs by changing a cookie anymore. Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into the brain, where they ferment. They then migrate to your keyboard via your fingers. That's where shiptoasts come from.

I don't understand why people troll in the first place. It's quite irritating if you ask me. Why not be yourself is that too much to ask for ? |

Inline pictures, signature pictures and other features present in other forums used to be available. That didn't work out too well.
Only addition I'd like to see is a downvote/upvote feature for threads and a dislike feature as well as the like feature. Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

Pretty sure there is a thread in OOPE that answers this. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

I'm so glad people can't put imbedded pictures into their signatures and posts. That would really **** up the forum. Epic Space Cat |

Me too. Look what happened to the DUST forums when CCP threw them that squirrel to distract them from The Great Fanfest Fiasco of 2014. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |

If you were around and remember the problems there was when they changed to this forum from the old one, you wouldn't ask them to change anything to do with the forums again.
First rule of EvE - if it's not broken, don't ask them to do anything to it.

This is false. What we SHOULD be able to have is a platform on which to communicate ideas between players and developers, and that's exactly what we do have. Anything additional features on top of that are frills, things we COULD have, not what we SHOULD have.

It's really not that hard to keep up with web development. If they can develop successful games. I am sure they can hire a paid web developer that will keep every issue resolved. Plus the fact that web development security is quite easy when you know what you are doing with C++ and C and HTML and PHP you will get the hang of it.

You mean easy like Wordpress is easy? As in it's easy to install on your server and easy to go buy a theme that looks just like everyone else's theme? Easy to figure out that the default settings are insane and it is guaranteed to fall over for more than 5 concurrent users? Easy to figure out, "Oh ****! You just corrupted my database and ate years of posts for no reason, you *****!" Easy to figure out that oh my god, this **** is SLOW!!! Easy to decide that if you ever actually do want to do anything besides nothing you have to dig into a completely disorganized clusterf*** of a codebase that makes it easier to break things than it is to actually do anything useful? Easy to decide you don't want to be infected with the anti-programming mindset it would take for you to understand it, so you are just going to pay for support? Easy to decide that the support isn't worth the cost and that you should have just done it yourself the right way the first time?
Yes. Easy.

The clicky takes us to the last poast in a thread. That alone is completely half-assed coding right there all by itself.
Like every other forum since the beginning, it should take me to the last post THAT I READ, no the last one in the thread and forcing us to backpedal to find where we left off.
. They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake. |
