For all of those people who kept accusing the mods of being coy:
As I mentioned in the last thread the new sections are only for FPSs:
The Elder Scrolls Legends: Falanu Hlaalu
The Elder Scrolls Awesomeness: Morr0wned
Alright the game names are obviously fictitious but all of the new sections are for FPSs :hehe:
They should have just left it alone...I hate how narrow the window is.
Can't you zoom in?
As for keeping them as they were, to some extent Bethesda needs to keep their IPB version up to date. Now they do have a lot of flexibility with this (
we were first told about this forum update in JUNE!) but eventually if they refuse to update they'll run in to problems.
Second, given the number of complaints we got about the forum index being too long after adding WET, and then Rogue Warrior and Brink, and then Fallout New Vegas, we had to do something new when adding all of these other titles.
It was a week or so before the update.
You have it backwards. The 200 post limit is a moderator imposed rule to help make their jobs easier. It's just like the no politics/religion threads rule. It NEVER had anything to do with server strain.
However culling, which is deleting threads several months old, DOES have to do with server strain. I'd like to see that eliminated.
The 200 post limit was
originally for server strain, but this was back when the forums ran on UBB instead of IPB (and if you think this latest update was drastic you should have been here in 2004). After switching to IPB there was no need to limit thread length for server reasons but we kept this limit around because it make moderation easier and restarting threads tended to keep them fresher.
