It's been over 6 weeks since we lost the old forums, so I do believe it's time for an updated status on this. After all, I am a paying customer. Sure - only $3.45 per month, but paid nonetheless.
I know alot of folks like the look and feel of the new forums, but there is one thing missing....
Years and Years of facts, tips, information, and recommendations on how to play, prepare, build, or succeed at playing UO.
We've also lost the professional Forums. I was the moderator of the Paladin and Tailor forums. Now they are gone. Where are new players supposed to go to learn about training skills and learning how to use a profession with these valuable forums gone? Please don't say uHall. This place is still a festering pool of whiners (I guess I can count myself in that group), nerf lords, etc. that is really only fit for veteran players who know what's really going on.
We had separate Trade forums for each shard so everybody wasn't fighting to stay on the front page.
The new forum application (vboards?) has some good stuff (emoticons everywhere!!), but I can't change the title of my posts anymore. I also can never tell whom is replying to whom unless I change to the Threaded or Hybrid modes and both of those modes are less than ideal.
So when are we getting our old forums back? If not, when are we getting the old content combined with the new?
