So Far the Community Beta...

Has ended up much better than the old forums. I mean, go check into GD and look at how awful it is. Here, while some posts get floated upwards or downwards that shouldn't (mostly involving balance), there is a lot less angry, insulting tripe. Good job.

To chime in, for someone on the side of content development, these boards are exceptional at gathering feedback and suggestions. From the 2500+ comments in the thread that I asked to see community skins suggestions, Backonhawk snagged every single piece of reference art to inspire possible future creations.

Thanks for using the boards and definitely stay involved!

Thank you for this feedback. The team is really excited about the activity we're seeing right now. I just posted my thoughts on what we need to happen for the Boards to keep headed in the right direction, but I want to touch on it a little more here.

We need a lot more activity in the Boards for the potential to be unlocked. You can help us by bringing in your friends and by spreading the word. You can also help by giving constant feedback. Every little bit helps! One of the things that some of you are doing is socializing good content here in the Boards to other channels as well. Be it the old Forums, Reddit or Facebook, it all helps direct new people here, and we appreciate it! :)

I feel like the lack of trolls is due in part to the size of the Boards community at the moment. The old forums get the most traffic, so it's a prime location for trolls to hang out. This is a problem that is eventually going to rear its ugly head (provided Boards start to get more populated), so we should enjoy what we have while it lasts.

Lack of moderation and population size can have the effect GD does. What makes you think boards will be any different if it does become the majority?

I do like the community beta, but the painful darkness i think is what keeps me from being here longer. A game called dungeons and dragons online switched from having pure black and red towards this type of color created many people to flee away from those forums(one of them being me). So i believe having better colors such as white and black or black and red make it more User friendly. b

Agreed, overall there is a different atmosphere here.

I agree, I like the layout much better and I find it easier to process the information in these boards. It was too difficult to follow thread with a large number of respondents in the old Forum style. I hope to see more of the boards move over here soon.

Agree here. I only found nice/feedback and non troll posts here. Although there are a few bugs left that need to be destroyed. One of these bugs is that when I click on the updates icon here I go to boards.euw.leagueoflegends.com and that site does not exist.

And I think there should be an option to view the discussions in old community style for the ones that still prefer that one. But that is just one idea.

Despite that I prefer this above the old one so good job.
