I like it. Looks sleek and like something I'd expect to see in 2017.

The others aren't full width purely because I checked my calendar and it's not 2003 anymore.[/QUOTE]

Then you can spend points on upgrades.. (like increasing your max avatar size by one pixel, unlocking ratings, emotes, post icons).[/QUOTE]
Do you only earn points by posting or use more features to get more points?
How will image thumbing work?
I like how clean the icons look.
Hopefully we will get lootcrates as well

How will the point system work exactly?
new forums look slick
only question is will goldmembers get a bunch o extra points to start out with?
Fucking incredible. What's going to happen to GMF and OIFY/PICKLE RIIIIICK though?

I guess it doesn't affect us lot in a big way but would the gamification hurt the lurkers? I like to stay quiet but keep up with the community. Would suck if some of that was taken away purely because I didn't feel like posting.
Obvs still in the works but just to keep in mind. I don't know the proportion of lurker types to regular posters.
Are emails being used here not (yet) linked with any accounts on the new forums?
Asking because it said there wasn't any account associated with the email I tried to log in with, even though I'm using it here.
Well this is a nice surprise. Not so sure about the gamification tho. But we'll see.

Alright, cool.
not a fan of gamification but at least there's effort in not fixing what aint broke like the looks of the forum
Can't wait for garry to implement $2.00 lootboxes for super rare anime tiddy forum signatures
This is kewl. I hope the customizable user-created custom forums somehow comes back tho. With a bit of moderation (just so the rust cunts stop flooding us with them in attempts to get unbanned) that shit could be so damn neat.
is account merging planned for this one too?

I'd hope so, I'd like to keep my post count, even though compared to many others here, it ain't that much.

It evolved into this more like.
Not a fan of the gamification, I feel it will just encourage shitposting.

post counts already have this affect, and even with no post counts and gamification you're always going to have a group of people who do nothing but shitpost 24/7
Gamification?
Sounds interesting...
[QUOTE=garry;52816624]There's no BB Code. Everything is wysiwyg.[/QUOTE]
Could there still be an option to see the code in a given post, even if it's not BBcode but something else?
It's just really useful to have access to base-level text formatting, especially when managing OPs or lengthy media-heavy posts.

Nothing wrong with it as long as it's not intrusive. People here get banned for making empty posts, just do that there. And if that's not enough, you can always adjust how the "score" works, e.g. have a soft cap above/below a certain amount of posts, or reduce the amount of points gained in general
Just a forum suggestion; would you be able to make it so that users can hide posted videos/images by default on the new forum?
Media threads are very popular, but opening one up to find a full page of 40 posts each with 1 or 2 YouTube videos or dozens of pictures takes a while to load. Having the videos hidden until you click on a "show media" button on a post might help, unless I'm wrong about how things are loaded.
If anyone knows of a firefox add-on which already does something like that, that would be fine too.

If you can manage editing a word document without converting it to some kind of meta code and back, you should be okay with this.

[QUOTE=myon;52816789]is account merging planned for this one too?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, kind of. I'll probably make it so if your email address matches the address from an old account you can adopt all of the posts.
And what about gold members merging their accounts?
Will they get bonuses of some kind?

We'll sort something out, but it's not exactly the top priority.
