Tired of bad excuses.

The api does not support it. The framework has a bug. The blah blah blah...

Fix the board.

No more excuses. Drop the downvoting same way riot dropped honoring the enemy. Tools are tools. but these tools are used by fools.

Consider this: literally everything Riot has is being reworked or removed. And now that Riot has updated everything else, the boards are the logical next step. And right at the same time a new UI is published that doesn’t even work with the current forum?

Clearly, Riot is planning to replace the boards with a new forum quite soon

i hope they do it with style. Honestly all i need is them to make the downvote button less of a abuse tool.

That would be a great start. But at this point I would kind of like to see this place completely killed lol. That would be entertaining

Nah i need a place so riot can hear me tell them exactly where they stand when it comes to the gameplay and reworks.

Yeah but Riot doesn’t ever check here anyway. Trying to talk to Riot here is like yelling at a brick wall. There is zero chance anyone in riot will see or care anything posted here. So might as well burn it to the ground right?

TBH. i find it very weird everyone wants to abandon ship here and it's been obvious riot just does not want to communicate with us. So you can imagine what i can assume from that.

The reason is this place once had a great community. But then, after years of riot ignoring the boards while a small group of moderators played personal games rather then help....

Well the community is dead. Almost all the good people are gone. All that’s left is a pit of toxicity. You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. And the boards have certainly become the villain.

It’s time to put them out of their misery. Out of respect for what the boards once were, we must put down this mockery that took its place.

there i have to fully agree. "small group of moderators played personal games rather then help" I can verify this.

This was a place for free open critical speech that allowed us to interact with riot. Sadly no longer true.

TBH 100000000% they used to. The fans helped make everything the light touched. When riot got greedy that changed. Been here long enough to know the truth.

To be perfectly honest, I can't figure out why Riot went to the effort to break the place with a new top nav bar. They should've just posted a "sry guise dat's all she rote lol" and set it to read-only, like they did with the old forums. And then they could officially move to Reddit instead of building yet another forum with even more haste and less care than they did this one. It serves no practical purpose to leave a trail of shuttered forum platforms.
