The search engine is god awful, you still can't look for any of your old posts. I kept hearing how it was going to be fixed but the forum hasn't really improved since it was implemented.

I agree about the search engine bit

The secret to being secret is secretly secreted from the secret itself, therefore the secret is only secret when the secret is unveiled, if that happens, then the secret is no longer a secret, but a secretly, secreted, non-secret

I constantly find good threads locked or long time members banned for simpleton reasons. Flame wars seem to go on and on, and insults are the norm here. So aggressive.

I have to stop myself from posting in a lot of topics that I have an opinion on because I feel I might upset the wrong person in power.

There are new features being worked on. Remember, the forums made a HUGE switch to new software and stuff about a year or two ago. You used to not be able to even post pictures or change font colors.

They've definitely been improved, but you guys are right, there's still more work to be done.

"HUGE switch to new software and stuff about a year or two ago"
a year to two years is enough time to get their stuff together

"You used to not be able to even post pictures or change font colors."
You were able to do this stuff back in like 95 EA needs to up it's game! and if you don't know all ready you can get free forums that have a better search engines

Trust us guys, we are wanting improvements for the forums to be done as well, but these things do take time. Hopefully the present issues with the forum software get dealt with soon.

I disagree. It's a step back, if anything. Functionality dropped for aesthetics.

What are these new features? Post history?

Avatars, signatures, youtube videos, pictures... are among the new features.. There are a couple of things the old forums had that I wish these new ones have, but overall these forums are better than what they used to be.

I know the new features we have now. What I meant was, which new features are being worked on? Post history was a feature we had with the old forums.

Avatars=aesthetics
Sigs=aesthetics
youtube videos=This functionality has nothing to do with the game

These things are not as important as being able to view post history. The old "latest post" feature was way better than the one that is now too.

Post history and a basic search engine>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>being able to watch embedded youtube videoes and pics

We don't even get notified if we get a new PM.


These forums are like a 50 year old housewife made out to look like a 22 year old model. But once you peel off the layers of makeup you notice that she's really old.
