Don't want to disregard any contribution and credit is where it's due, but this is disappointing.

I think he means that this has been in the works for 2+ years and it gets released in beta.. we're missing a lot of features that made the old forums feel like home. It feels as if this was procrastinated till the last minute where everyone just busted their ass to meet the deadline. Either way, the work is appreciated as I'm sure hours went into developing codes and themes but you just don't give someone an A for a half-ass project.

 

Again just to reiterate, I APPRECIATE all the time and hard work that went into the forums but you can't just not feel disappointed from this long awaited upgrade to be released as a bare minimum functioning forum.

Honestly, people will always have an issue with change no matter what improvements are made. Thankfully this is a gaming community not a professional business, so there is no need for grading right? The fact is, this new forum has insane new functionality for many different aspects of the community and that alone should outweigh any minor features people feel they are missing. I say minor because I can't for the life of me fathom what is so big and important to people that they have to be publicly shitting on what is a job absolutely well done. I'm assuming maybe people aren't educated on the fact that we completely switched our software and therefore some functionality is just different. Similarly so, there are a lot of minor bugs that are better found by simply piling everyone in, as fresh sets of eyes often lead to the quickest results during bug finding + testing. The new forums are here and pretty well fully functioning, with improvements coming to fix those minor bugs and other things people feel are missing. The people working on this project couldn't predict every little problem that might occur when the forums went live, nor could they predict what people love vs hate from the old or new forums.

 

All in all, the improvements and changes combined with the fresh new look deserve nothing less than a "job well done" especially considering all the hours poured into the project for free by people who simply care about making this community better. We have bug reports and other ways to contact people should someone feel anything is missing or out of place, so I don't see why anyone needs to be publicly and vaguely criticizing the efforts put into the project unless you were right there working with the people who made it happen.
