It wasn't my intention to get everything disabled, and I know you're working hard to make the forums better for everyone and I can appreciate that. My only problem was the constant state of flux there for a while. Just as I started using the black ice skin, you updated something and broke it. Once I really got into the chatbox (really good feature btw, don't let a few people knocking you on it ruin it for everyone. Not everyone's going to like everything, that is the way life works) you decided to change it around a bit before settling on the old one. The arcade was alright, but if you really want to play flash game's, there's better places for that. The new announcement system was nice, as was the stuff added to the quick reply box. The plug in for stickies wasn't necessary, and I'm glad that the rainbow option didn't really work. Threads with different colored names would just look too busy.

I worded things wrongly last night. It's not you I dislike, but everything outlined above.

Do you guys have any idea how much effort I'm even putting in this forum?
A lot more than Greg ever did, but you've got to make sure ahead of time that your effort is going to be worth it and appreciated.

I updated the black theme forums so it was compatible with the new updated version of the forums. I never knew though that it would break the whole black theme.

The arcade was alright, but if you really want to play flash game's, there's better places for that.
Those flash games are here to beat each others highscores as well.

The rainbow color (as attempt) was meant as a joke. Besides, the plugin has been disliked like a few days ago already.

Sorry >_>, but saying:
Deman : I don't like the guy. I accept he now owns the license like Greg used to, but Greg didn't add a ****ton of useless features. Sure a couple good ones came out of it like this and threadbanning, but thats about it
Is pretty obvious to me.

You said you didn't like him because of the plugins. That's negativity toward him. Not that I'm on sides here, I like you both.

Indeed you can, but if you guys keep complaining about them.. I'll just disable them all together. I've been hearing about it tons of times now.

Other people were *****ing about them, too.
Do I really have to use the bridge counter?

You've voiced your opinion on this subject many, many times before. What will *****ing about it and ganging up on Skyrider all the time do other than piss him off? I didn't like all of the plugins so you know what I did? I talked to Skyrider and I gave him my opinion. You'd be surprised just how reasonable and understanding he can be, if you'd only give him the chance.

We're complaining about the useless, bad ones.
Think they're useless? Think they're bad? Don't use them. Ignore them. Pretend they aren't there, or better yet, tell him how to make the forum better since you obviously believe him to be incapable of finding any good and worthwhile plugins.

He's trying to spice up the forum. None of the plugins break the forum. They're all add-ons. If you don't like the announcement plugin, don't look at it. Scroll down. Problem solved. Think the black skin is bugged? It is. He's said it's a WIP over and over again and people are still complaining. Use it at your own risk. If you don't like it, don't use it. Don't like the arcade? Don't use it. Don't like the chart plugin? Don't use it.

Stop whining and be proactive.

I'm not ganging up on him..

Congratulations, so did I.

Yes.

No.

Nixanthros said:

I am. What makes you think I only talk to Skyrider on the forums?

Nixanthros said:

And he asked for our opinions. I'm giving my opinion.

I like it. I just don't think images should be shown.

I don't use the black skin. It's been WIP for a while, and as far as I know, it hasn't been updated for a while either.

Nixanthros said:
Don't like the arcade? Don't use it.
I don't. It should still be removed. I don't think anybody uses it.

Nixanthros said:

I don't plan to. I don't think anybody would use that plugin either.

You are ganging up on him. By participating in a "SKYRIDER IS ****ING UP!!!" lynching party, you're ganging up on him.

Congratulations, so did I.

Except you haven't done anything, or else he would have addressed your complaints as he did mine. Saying, "This sucks. Stop it." doesn't help. Find him plugins that you like and that you think other people will like.

No.

Why not? Are features that you don't use keeping you from using the forum? Is the arcade kicking you in your marbles every time you try to view a thread? Is the chart somersaulting over your head and snapping your neck when you try to use the chatbox?

I am. What makes you think I only talk to Skyrider on the forums?

"Helping" Skyrider in private and then just talking **** in public is two-faced. If you want to help, which you obviously don't, say your piece in public where everyone can agree or disagree with your suggestions. And no, saying "Plugin x sucks, remove it" isn't being constructive.

And he asked for our opinions. I'm giving my opinion.

You've stated the same thing over and over and over again. I've yet to see you suggest a single plugin to Sky. I've yet to see you tell him how to improve the forum. I've seen you ***** and moan plenty of times, but never actually help.

I don't use the black skin. It's been WIP for a while, and as far as I know, it hasn't been updated for a while either.

It hasn't been updated because he's doing other things. The naysayers keep telling him to focus on one thing at a time, but when that one thing isn't the plugin that they want finished, they complain.

I don't. It should still be removed. I don't think anybody uses it.

Remove the arcade because you don't think anyone plays it? Really? Is it hurting you by being there? Are you being forced to play pong before you can post? Do you need credits to see the forum? If you don't want to use the arcade, don't. How difficult is that? You're like one of those ridiculous people who would prefer to ban everything on the radio rather than turn the dial.

I don't plan to. I don't think anybody would use that plugin either.

It doesn't matter if no one uses the chart plugin. It's there if you need it. If you don't, pretend it isn't there. Why is having more options a horrible thing?

I am.

I still don't see you suggesting what Sky should add to improve the forum. I see you arguing with me, but I'm not seeing any constructive criticism. Just, "DO IT MY WAY I DONT CARE WHAT YOU THINK DO IT MY WAY". You're not helping. You may think you are, but you're not.
Less arguing, more helping.

They were *****ing about plugins. I just said I don't like how he was running the forums. That could've meant anything.

Actually, I have done something.

In my opinion, there's no point in having an addon that nobody is going to use.

Skyrider knows what I like and don't like. I've even talked to him about it.

I may not show my suggestions to the public, but I am suggesting things.
