i think they got most of it working now. They were just having a lot of shit they had to do right away. The whole new site is badass though. I really like it. And i am really glad they put streaming videos in. That is the one thing that i thought they needed if they really wanted it to be like an online TV channel.

I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stand the light text on dark background. I think I'll have to change it.
Search doesn't seem to always work.
Avatars aren't enabled yet.
Smilies look like crap.
Hmmm... Well I haven't had any 500 errors yet.
Edit: Actually, I did just have the 500 error equivalent on these forums... so far I'm not liking them. Hopefully it'll be bug free in another week or ten.
Edit #2: Being able to edit/delete posts is very nice.

I've got pleanty of errors but the posts still go through. I kinda liked the plain old look though.

Yeah we hope here can be active too. It will be an awesome community with the staff we have it will be a great place to hang out, heck I'll be one of your mods, can't get any better than that :)
For now, check out the General Section (http://revision3.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=10) for updates.

I think that when they get everything sorted out it will be better, but right now it is full of, uh, features.

Yeah, these will do just fine.

Actually, I think these are easier on the eyes than the other forums were.

Agreed. The white was quite irritating to the eyes...

what's up with the mods, I do believe we did just fine before. If they gotta be here, would have been nice to make them one of the regulars here who knows what's goin down, this isn't exactly a new community.

Well, at least they run a lot faster...
This Bulletin software is far superior.

indeed they are much faster, they just lack that familiar, home-like style, of the screen i spent countless hours waiting for. the regular black on white was a lot easier, but these are very sleek and sexy, so we'll see. I just wanna get everyone back. *i need a hug*

Yea this doesn't feel like the forums I cried, ate popcorn with and danced with at our graduation..Now its a sleek, fighting machine, with buldging biceps and stuff.

These new forums are finally growing on me. It's only been a day but whatever. I wanna make love to them with a Boys 2 Men song playing in the background.

Sorry, but yes, you have moderators now and this is not going to be a free for all. This is a company forum so things are bound to change a bit.

Im not real sure about the look but this is definately not as bad as I had previously thought, I see that the usernames have been carried over, now if we could just get all the old topics and post's back as well.

But arnt all the shows a free for all? How exactly were the moderators chosen? The only one I have ever seen around our forum was kowgod and I dont remember him being much of the community we had built, no offense. I think we would all be a lot more comfortable with the moderation and being censored if we had someone who was part of our community with the power if something did get out of hand and needed moderation.
I nominate Flux Capicitor since he did more our original forum than anyone, rev3 or otherwise.

I'm pretty comfortable here! I like the new digs. And I don't mind the censored curses. You can tell what people are saying anyways and we should all be watching our mouths. Especially you guys, in case LilDawg ever comes back.
And the 3 Jons will be the new Voltron.

I think the Rev3 guys have done a great job on the forum creation. I'd love some new skins, but that's nothing that is a deal breaker... Fantastic work!

Sweet! Sounds good to me.

I love that I don't get 500 server errors anymore. The look is growing on me. I wish I knew how to make the Quick Reply work correctly.
I have a nice post on the Dromie Alumni thread that explains how I feel about the moderators. Is it me or am I getting a condescending, "you have moderators now, get over it" vibe? Like no kind of details or anything.
BTW, it never really was a free for all in the Drome forums. If you noticed I for one don't use foul language and I stay pretty tasteful..that's just my way so just saying I'm not here, a person used to loading my replies with expletives and now I'm mad because I can't...but I'd like to know what's going on.

I was pretty much the most obscene person on the old forums, and I felt loved. Physically/orally by iggy and bux, but emotionally by Deadpool and the rest of the gang. The old forums were pretty much a big love fest for everybody only without the STDs... lets make the new ones the same way.

Physically/orally by iggy..
You know how to make a girl feel so special. :)
But I agree, we get you and I wouldn't have you change because now there are new sheriffs in town.
