I think the new forum is a major downgrade, on the order of Windows Vista. We all knew the ins and outs of the old board, and it was quite well done. This new forum is full of useless bells and whistles, and is quite generic. It looks and acts like any old board you might find on the web.
And I agree that the 100 message limit is a joke. C'mon Shrapnel, it's just text. You can store 1000 per user easily.
The animated icons are driving me nuts.
I predict that this new board will drive down MP game participation by at least 50%
Overall, the new site looks really nice though. It's just the boards that I find useless now.
