IT'S TIME FOR THE NEW PLATFORM!!! comments

Options

‎01-10-2013 09:45 AM

So Mr. Anderton has announced they're moving to a new platform yet again. IMHO the biggest issues with the last time this was tried wasn't so much the fact it didn't function, but many users didn't like the user-interface. So what are we getting this time around?

And I must admit to a bit of confusion - it appears many, many other people are able to keep vbulletin forums running without issue. Why can't the people running HC do the same?

What do you all think?

No matter how bad it is, it couldn't be worse than it's been the past week or two...

I don't think you people quite remember HC2.0 if you're saying anything is better than this.

Me wonders how much of the current issues are the result of neglect because "they" want to foist another "improved" forum on this community.

I'm all for it, because most anything short of outright catastrophe would be an improvement.

Hopefully they’ll move the whole thing to Vanilla hosting and just have Vanilla match the existing graphics.

It seems as if the budget has been slashed for this place.

There will be promises of improvement followed eventually by a pile of polished turds for HC Forums.

Hmmm. Sounds like a lot of what was said before 2.0.

We'll see. Hopefully they don't make the mistake of trying for a bunch of useless bells and whistles over what really matters (content) again.

Keep it simple, stupid.

I have never seen a more difficult forum as this to use. There is no way this Vbulletin site should crash so often. What makes anyone have any confidence that a new one willbe run any better. And here we go again losing search functions etc... Still pissed about the lost reviews that made HC thee goto site for gear reviews.

From up and down, and still somehow
It's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all...
