ICBINR for short

Boards - 6 characters
ICBINR - 6 characters

I'm no mathematician, but those numbers appear to be identical.

Anyway, is there anything in particular you dislike about the platform? I'm aware people dislike the reddit-esque discussion layout, but what specific aspects aren't working for you?

everything, old forums or riot

old forums or riot

Bringing back the old forums, from what I understand, is not feasible due to technical constraints. The amount of development effort that had to go into the platform was massively increased because they had to use a bunch of workarounds and weird structures rather than just directly coding things in, so everything took way longer than it should have.

If your approach is to say everything sucks and that Riot should revert to impossibility, there isn't really a ton we can discuss. Switching back to vBulletin is not happening, and unless you have feedback for fixing things about this platform I think that's about it.

This board tries to do two separate things and fails at both of them in special ways. It's also permanently in beta it seems, like those shitty early access zombie games you see on steam that get a small update every 6 months. Just keep calling it beta so hopefully it magically excuses the fact that a bog standard forum like the previous one is still miles superior than this messed up chimera board.

I hate the 4chan boards that's what this reminds me of I'm not saying this is 4chan it just looks the same

is impossible to find what I'm looking for on this forum that's why I totally hate it and this forum has the same problem is reddit if you don't have the highest up vote you're not going to be noticed
