just because 70% people prefer PC that means PC is better than Mac. That argument is just plain stupid!!!!

I agree, but you will not be able to convince me or anyone under the age of 35 that the old forum was better.
Not before we give them time to fix the problems and refine the layout a piece at a time.

yeah, that was a very dumb thing for adrian to say.

One of the funniest, worst quotes I ever heard:

What do 9 out of 10 people enjoy?

i'm 30 and hate it, esp if i'm on the cell phone. I don't even know if people answer to my posts, because i just can't find them. Time was messed up last night (ok they are working on it), but posts jumping up all the time i post too many times i don't remember if there were 3 or 4 replays. Old forum i click on the forum and see all the post and replay.

I don't think user age has much to do with it. Time spent on AW (the real AW) does, however. I'm 33 and was there for over 10 years. I've never spent more than a few minutes on a vB forum due to what I consider an inferior format.

Sure, well, I'm way under 35 and I develop software, admittedly not web-based, as an ancillary function of my employ.

The other software was better.

I'm 25 and I effing HATE vB. I hate having to open each individual thread and having to scroll through walls of text and peoples' page long signatures to read the goddamn content. The old method was quick and efficient.

Seriously, as it's been said, just because 70% of forums use vB doesn't mean it's the best. That argument just means that it's the easiest for people to make boards from.
