I know where they copied the forums from... (Read 3766 times)

	Just go to www.swtor.com -> community -> forums -> general discussion. Then look at how threads appears... and how posts appears. Now go to www.ddo.com -> community -> forums -> general DDO discussion. Look at posts there too... Even the colors theme is similar. As TorTanic is a great fail when it comes to it's forum ( at least in my opinion, never managed to find anything interesting in them )... ( Tor is also a great fail from other points of view, but I'll stick to the forum part ) So basically, it's another step taken into bringing DDO towards being yet another WoW clone. Turbine, I know you have lurkers here : This is not what we fucking want. We want DDO to stay as far away as being a WoW clone as possible. If we wanted to play WoW ( or a clone ) we would have emigrated long ago. Stop trying to disguise the Duck called DDO into a Hen called WoW.

	It's not like the entire internet has that forum style, Sherlock.

I'd look at it out of curiosity if I wouldn't constantly get the "corrupted content" reply from the DDO Forums.

	Eh, the style DDO just adopted is kind of an industry fad... wizards.com forums are quite similar, and they did their redesign before SWTOR even came out. Also, wouldn't be surprised if a lot of it is default vB styling.

	I looked at the SWTOR link you posted and I thought that the Star Wars forums were much more readable than the DDO forums.

And why shouldn't the default options be used and loved?� After all, the people who defined those default options are EXPERTS. Hey, at least I learned that I can still be surprised by the things that Turbine does.

	Meh. It's the forums. I could really care less. I doubt any of the issues players had with the old forums were related to the UI. The moderators were the issue as well as the developers reluctance to engage with the community. Use the default settings for the look and feel. Focus your time and energy on other matters.

They put a redirect in place for old forum links... but naturally, they wrote the redirect wrong. It redirects to /en/ instead of /forums/ and you get 404. Manually replace /en/ with /forums/ in the URL and it works fine.

"These Days" How far back would a person need to go in order to look at an update (or Module) that went live and say "You know, for the most part, this is pretty nice. They addressed most of the concerns brought before we went live and it looks like a sincere, polished effort."

Whenever I see these forums with all this fluff it looks nicer at the start, but then it just gets in the way and hard to read. I would just like some nice, clean, image-less forums.
