Ok, if any mod wants this thread gone, pls just merge it with the official thread (poll included) since the official thread seemed to be lacking an actual poll.

Ok, so you got 7 options: Love it so much, leave it like this forever; Love it; Like it; Indifferent; Dislike it; Hate it; Hate it so much that it makes me want to go postal.

Pick the one that applies to you, and lets see what the public thinks.

EDIT: For those who do not know what the term postal means, it means to go on a shooting rampage due to either high stress or pure rage.

EDIT#2: Thnx for leaving thread up guysb:thanks. Also, advanced option has a few issues, and by that i mean it doesn't work (for me at least).

light shall exist somewhere,
even if only a small sliver,
a light found among darkness,
shines all the brighter." -unknown

    I agree, add a poll. The new color scheme hurts.

    the old one was what i would call "Perfect" for a forum. Eay to navigate, looked well planed out. This one looks like it was built by a generic website maker. White was a horible choice too. Please change it back

    b:surrenderi mean no offence but thats what i thinkb:surrender
    I quit. Nothing ever changes @ PWE or PW CN . Expansion was over hyped. Guild bases (that looked cool) can be destroyed, so why waste the time if your a in a small faction like me.

    Thanks Dorset. I quit. Nothing ever changes @ PWE or PW CN

    This...burns. Literally burns. I loved the old site layout, I thought it was, well, perfect. It was easy to read and not an eyesore - it looked very well done.

    This, this is an eyesore and looks like something a student in high school would make up for an assignment in their web design class - and not a particularly enthusiastic student at that.

    We can has old layout back now, please? Please?! b:beg

    Looks like an amateur job. Some stock phpBB style sheet you can get off Google.

    Not everybody likes the Tideborn, at least put a representative of each class or something. I wouldn't even consider TB finished.. so why push it so much?

    Lastly, I'd like to point out that (while possibly impossible for most of you) if these boards are used just as much as with the old layout... the devs and powers that be won't see any reason to bring them back. It's not like they aren't used to constant ******** and moaning on the boards, no matter what they look like. I hope this poll actually serves its purpose in bringing back the old layout though :)

    It's pretty obvious which direction this poll is going.

    *wonders if the webdesigners have the slightest idea of what a MMORPG is and who plays them*

    Here's an idea:
    if you want to sell something, do some market research
    find out what people want and what it's worth to the majority of your prospective clients so you can maximize the return on your investment. You guys sell code, it has a fixed production cost, so the more clones of this code you distribute the better.
    I thought you were just testing the water, but this forum change makes me think you really don't have a clue.

    How many fail bussiness executives does it take to bring down a succesful bussines venture?

    Some people need to get fired, very very soon... seriously

    ok... end of flame

    Uglyuglyugly, oh god. It's like some sort of HTML horror.

    Please go back to the old one, the colours were subdued and it looked quite nice.

    This is geocities territories, I half expected scrolling text at the top.

    I voted postal. I normally don't vote on these things, but felt I had to in this case. My eyes are going numb.b:sadb:shockedb:cry

    On top of that, on another computer the forums don't scroll down so I can't read anything.

    Pls give us the old forums back.b:beg

    I can't...see...one thing I enjoyed about the PWI forums is that I could read them just before I slept and/or woke up and the color scheme was less grating on my eyes than facebook or other sites...Now it's hard for me to even look at the forums when I'm AWAKE, let alone my usual addiction to them.

    I like how they didn't even make new buttons for the Quick Reply/Multi-Quote/Quote/Reply buttons, so now it looks even more unprofressional. Not only did they slap on this atrocious layout, it's only half done. Really, PWI? Did you get THAT many complaints about the old layout...?

    Though i come here often to catch up on the gossip, i rarely post. The thing that attracted me to the forums was the excellent, easy on the eyes, design of the content, unfortunately, It is now physically unpleasant to to read and ill be spending less time here.

    PWIs OLD setup was probably the best mmorpg forum + mainpage id seen. When i first saw it i was genuinly impressed, and thus chose to play. This forum and main page is a disgrace.
