Rofl. Exactly. See on a normal forum, this would get upvotes and bumps all day. On this trash forum, nobody will ever see it, which is just how Riot intended it to be when they pinched this turd.

It's ironic you say that considering it's currently on the front page zzz...

People don't understand. They aren't even willing to try to learn how to use the boards.

Been here since the Beta started. They fucking blow.

Why would someone try to learn something that's a pain in the arse to learn for no benefit?? Learn Spanish-it has a benefit. Learn how program-has a benefit. learning to walk-benefit. Learn the new boards?? (crickets) This format is crap, a crappy copy of Reddit, and not worth the time. Sorting is a pain in the ass, there so much junk on the screen it's garbage. Conversations don't happen in order, and if you try to sort it that way, then you miss whatever someone was responding to. The game itself was going to hell, so lets make the forums go to hell, too! That way we (Riot) don't have to read the garbage!!

You know that you can switch to chronological view, right? You can have the posts literally be in exactly the same order as on the old Forums.

....which keeps you from seeing the earlier parts of the conversation(s), like they said. It sucks.

MorikTheMadOct 7, 20142 votes

How is that worse than the old forums though? Same problem.

SmokingPuffinOct 9, 20145 votes

The main reason why new chrono view is worse than old GD is that quoting in old GD gives you this nice clear link to who posted what you're responding to.

If you try to look at chrono view of this thread, you'll find it's a jumbled mess and it's really hard to tell who's saying what to whom.

I like these boards - now watch, I will get down voted to oblivion too

ExxemOct 24, 20148 votes

Nah, you're 17 days late. You get an upvote from me and a downvote from the OP, and will forever sit at +1.

I haven't visited this thread since my post. Reading some of these comments is unbearable.

Small TiddiesOct 11, 20151 votes

And a +1 from me.

Give it a few days, it will be impossible to find. Point stands.

PaperMache7Oct 7, 201420 votes

You mean like most popular threads ever? Also no the point doesn't stand, the point was that "nobody will ever see it", which is quite obviously not the case.

Jesus is SaviorOct 7, 201414 votes

There's a thread on GD that has been bumped every day for like 5 years.

It's a red promise that "we'll have a flipped camera option for purple side soon!"

That won't work on these new forums (except maybe new GD, since it's not reddit style).

lvl 2 lagspikeOct 7, 20146 votes

exactly what riot wants. They dont want us to bring up things they promised and never did, which pretty much everything riot ever promises.

Speaking of which... We still need the ability to flip the camera around...

I like it,because i contribute to some interesting topics and discussions,unlike on EUNE.

To be fair ,you guys have to admit taht the NA community has the opurtunity to srly contribute to the game,while the other regions are a left in the dark with low contribution to it.

< Riot didn't listen to the NA community about Cass, Rengar, Karma, Skarner, Talon, etc.

Yeah, we totally are able to contribute to the game...

Rito's Plan: Screw with forums so GD can spend time QQ'ing about the new GD instead of server problems

Rito is genius

I'm trying to keep an open mind, but so far I'm not impressed. Glad my account is unbanned though.

SecretAgentHulkOct 7, 20143 votes

Second or third time I've seen this... why are accounts getting banned?

Hyrum GraffOct 7, 20148 votes

These are people who were banned on GD. Riot decided not to carry over bans from GD - to give people a second chance.

Sirin GioroOct 6, 201410 votes

Well, the place was General Discussion and this is "Boards..." It just feels like a really formal place rather than a casual GD place where we can trash talk and stuff.

Neo CyrusOct 7, 201415 votes

The problem is you can't even trash talk here, moderators are from a world of their own, they couldn't distinguish between fun and insults if their lives depended on it. Besides, being a jerk and actually insulting people was half of what GD was about.

LoLNewbieOct 8, 201410 votes

the new boards looks like the inside of Urgot

EchoZeeroOct 7, 20148 votes

Their logic is simple really. They don't want to spend too much time on the boards so they made them look bad and a pain to use so that forum lurkers would flee. GG Riot, your new boards are bad and you should feel bad. The color scheme is giving me eye cancer.

EckHearT GeminusOct 8, 20147 votes

One good thing about boards: if there's a really popular thread criticizing Riot, it will stay up forever instead of being buried by super fast waves of threads.

I HATE this forum.

It is like a combination of everything I hatted about Reddit WITH lag.

I miss having an organized board mostly...I want things to be seen where they need to be seen, not just one giant mess of a board

AmightyTOct 8, 20145 votes

Tell you what, I'll just take the new boards and never speak against it again, but I demand Helmet bro be released into the game.

GrandMa5TROct 7, 20144 votes

I wonder if this will get removed?

SintobusOct 7, 20143 votes

Doubtful there have been worse things prior to GD being taken down that haven't been removed. If it disappears I would say the author deleted it.

SohleksOct 7, 20144 votes

Only little people like the new boards? Racism. Man...

StephenizgodOct 7, 20144 votes

Yay yet another post about how crappy the boards are... You know i didnt go to the GD and post about how much i hated that when it was the only thing available, i just didnt use it because i didnt like it... so grow up.

Bring on the downvotes scrubs!

You do realize the point everyone is making is that they TOOK AWAY our old forums, not that they hate boards, right? Nobody would give a rat's ass about how shitty boards are if we had been allowed to keep the old forums.

StephenizgodOct 8, 20143 votes

Yes i understand that you are all mad they took it away, but im pretty sick of all the posts whining about how crappy the boards are. They are not crappy they are just different from what y'all is use to. I have seen hundreds of posts and comments purely saying "boards are shit" and it gets really annoying that the boards are flooded with them.

Y'all are mad you were forced into a situation you absolutely did not want, i am mad there are so so SO many posts about how much you guys hate it.

If you truly, truly TRULY "understand", you wouldn't have typed anymore after "Yes I understand".

No thats not true you can understand something and still disagree with it...

No, that's the illusion of understanding.

StephenizgodOct 8, 20143 votes

Uh no... I can understand why someone would say "this band is the best in the world" and yet still disagree because i think another band is the best in the world...

“In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him." I read this in Ender's Game a long time ago and it stuck with me... Basically i can understand your side of the argument quite well, i just disagree with how you guys are handling it.

If you truly understood, you wouldn't have said "I think...". You would've said "My...". Opinions are like women - they are not meant to be understood; they are meant to be loved.

Basically, it all comes down to this. Understanding can only apply to truth. You cannot understand an opinion. The point of an opinion is to create your own interpretation of the world. Frankly, wise men have demonstrated that there is "one truth" and that is why great minds think alike. To not understand a wise man, is to not understand at all. You cannot disagree and understand at the same time. It's again, an illusion of understanding when you get down to the network of sociology.

TEEAHMAT TOOSDEYOct 8, 20144 votes

That because this is mostly knee jerk reactions. People don't like change and what they are unfamiliar with. It could just be people resisting the change and not wanting it, as apposed to people actually trying to use the new layout, but not being able to.

I hope they go back to old forums, but I won't hold my breath.

ScoogeOct 30, 20143 votes

Honestly I find the boards pretty nice. The one thing I HATED about the forums was not being able to keep track of things. If I wanted to find old threads I had to bookmark them, keep them open or write down the name and search for them when I went back to the forums. This way I can just go check out the ones that I commented on super easy. Plus it takes me right to the comment I made. I don't have to remember what page of the thread it was on. Really makes navigating a breeze. I don't understand what all the rage is about. Plus they have neat little icons now. If I make champion concepts I could include builds that actually looked nice. I know this will get downvoted, but I just don't understand what the problem is.
