A few things to consider about the new message board design

[PSU95alum]

1st- for everyone saying they are gone because they don't like the look and feel, you should at least give it 1 week before giving up. 90% of the battle is simply learning a new format...where things are, how to maneuver, etc. It's like drinking 6 light beers in a row, and then actually taking a sip of a good beer. The first sip is going to taste like crap, but once you get half way through the better beer, your taste buds will acclimate and you'll usually realize how much better it tastes. IF after giving it a chance for a week or so and you still hate it, move on.

2nd- The mods are going to have their work cut out for them. I have a very sneaky suspicion that those who were blocked from posting on the old look site are no longer blocked. Once folks realize it, there is going to be a schit storm of crap on here until those people get banned again.

Happy posting!

It's just like any other change.

People will bitch and moan, yearning for the old days. They'll stop posting for a while.......but 99% will seep back onto the board in the coming weeks and get used to the new normal.

I like the new look.

At least it will be entertaining for awhile if the bannished perps return.

Oh, and return they will. Two things that I'm not sure were overlooked on the redesign, or they simply couldn't do....transfer avatars and keep banned people banned.

It's tough to keep banned people banned.

There's nothing to stop someone from creating a new handle, and IP addresses are very easy to hide/change with proxies.
