I think most of us here can agree that EVE is one of the best games we own...
I was just wondering then, why are the forums so pitifull? They have been since beta... Very slow, no search function...
Most of the corporation websites I've visited are of much higher quality... ( I know many more people visit this website, but hey, the corps are not getting paid money by it's usesrs like CCP is..)
Should we as subscribers have a nice speedy searchable forum as part of our monthly fee, abscent of the MOD SQUAD'S harsh censorship? Or is it just me who thinks this way?
I've been to a lot of game websites, this one ranks at the bottom as far as performance is concerned...
The content is great, but the layout, speed & forum moderation is poor at best...
I'd pay a dollar more per month to get a real game forum...

Well I can't say I'd pay much more, but even some freeware forums have the features you suggest. Also watched posts would be nice.

The layout is good, the content is great, but the speed is very poor, way too slow...

While the design is nice, not offensive to the eye, the speed is rather sluggish to say the least.
Search would be nice, as would a pm service, but i realise that can take up quite a bit of room

Speed is an issue for me too. A search function would be good, but there seem to be some problems with that. It's not as easy to put in as we might think.

Im sure t20 could gives us the stats, but I doubt many corporate forums have hundreds of users accessing them every minute. Site functions such as search engines are easy to put in but very resource intensive. Its not that they cannot put them in, but cpu and bw load probably prevents them from doing so.
On a site note, t20 - can you move the Eve library forum please to below the Intergalactic Summit forum - ta!

As far as the speed is concerned, if it meant taking away the ability to view your character stats online to get more speed, plz do it!
And as far as the searh function being "hard" This is probably the first game website I've been to that does not have one...

It's probably a database thing, on both accounts. I hear that the database is rather complicated, hence the (erratic) speed issues and lack of search engine

Adding a search function on a big active forum like this which will prolly be used a lot could really slow the server down.
Something we dont need no? 
And using google works fine at the moment.

yeah. aside from being tied into the actual game-server and the lack of a search function, i think the forums are a great tool. i just have certain issues with the way the forums are used...
there is a fine, but dissasterous line between a fart and a shart. i suggest you make sure which side you want to be on... |

It annoys me that the site doesn't remember that you're logged in properly unless you click on the EVE Insider link and then it brings you in. Also the lack of a search function is really weird, and there's plenty of forums out there that dwarf this one in terms of users and posts that have them so I don't quite follow the argument against them.
On the plus side it looks great (as does EVE as a whole) and has some *****ing content. I also don't personally find it slow - I'd rate it averagish on that score, but I guess different people have different tolerance levels.
