Not only do I like this forum format, I also HATE registered forums, with AVERGANCE! I hate HUGE Sigs attached to every message! I hate the layout of the messages! Most of all, I HATE PASSWORDS!
Registered forums suck, and the people that like using them suck. Nothing says, "I'm a little 16 year old Techy Snob!" then a registered forum. And nothing draws in those internet urchants like a registered forum. They love leaving MINDLESS messages that everybody are going to have to look at for the next 5 years. One reply to a thread made a year ago and suddenly it's at the top of the list.
And the egotistical Sig files, those REALLY piss me off! Those losers spend more time on their Sig files then they do thinking of intellgent things to say! And then there's the 10,000 Smilely faces they seem to find, just to make thier messages more "Elite". Damn forum looks like a Saterday morning Cartoon! <GET A LIFE!!!!>
I like a clean forum, with only new messages. Old threads SHOULD die! And I like to see all new messages at a glance. I'm not wading through 50 threads just to see all of the new messages. I can see all of the ones here at a glance. And it uses very few graphics, so it's quick and easy to load. No waiting for the latest SIG mess to load up! Most importantly, it's easy for new people to use. They just type in their message and their name, and the post is online. NO REGISTERING!
