Here Here on the brown and the sub forums!

I'd like to keep things in their right place, films in treatment, books in bound. Lumping these together would just be a bit ugly in terms of simple organization.

It would be nice to finally be rid of the "/2" in half the forum names. And I know some people like the brown, but I personally find it a little less than inviting or inspiring. Underworld is such a visually oriented group that surely something more in line with their artistic style could be explored?

As for the drop in posts, I know that for me, it's because work is cycling back into it's busy phase for me. Today is a rare slow day because the person I'm usually working with all day is out until tomorrow. But typically, I just don't have as much time to think about non-work related stuff any more let alone talk about it. I do miss the debates around here though. Haven't had a good knock-down drag-out argument in quite a while.

i like the idea of merging subforums so that its all a mess and people dont get cordoned off into their topical cliques
besides, this forum isnt big enough to justify it anymore anyway.

as for the brown, keep it. obv the more the noise gets complicated the less it says and the stupider it gets.

Yannick had a lot of problems getting the old forum data imported as the database was so large. The /2 ones were created as a side-effect of this. Yan is the only person doing the work on the site. It would have been great to get the old forums pre-2005 online for read-only purposes, agreed. Takes time, and I'm not sure if Yannick can be bothered really.

Is there anything left of the forums pre-2005? I know the pre-/2 stuff exists, and I'll talk to Yannick again about restoring that, but I was under the impression that everything pre-2005 was lost?
