... why

[I<3Dreamsicles]

Well the original templates had to go, they were not combatable. As stated a few times, they are working on new ones.

If a forum goes under because of a template change, I wouldn't blame the new template..................

I think it was the temeplate change that did it. There wasnt a lot of poeple on it to begin with and im sure most of them hated the change (dont like change, theyre set in their ways etc). They made it look completely different, some people didnt even know it was the same site.

The old style used to lock up on me almost every day at work. This one doesn't, so far. There are a few bugs here-and-there, but I am sure they will work them out soon.

What do you mean lock up? Ive never had any problems with it but then again I use my home computer and Firefox. I cant stand IE anymore, it always gives me problems.

I like it a lot better, to be honest. The old layout was rather outdated, and I was irritated when I first joined at how much more I had to do to get things to work like they did on the forums I frequent elsewhere. But this is all my opinion, and I can understand why someone who'd be used to the old way would dislike changes

How is it out dated? As far as I can tell the only big difference is how things look. The layout is basically the same except everything looks different. All the sections are in the same order etc, but it took me a while (just now) to find the User CP. I dont get why things are moved around when they dont need to be. I also hate the normal colors lol. Grey and blue is really really dull to me.
