Ugly.
Oh, you knew it was coming.
Skin is ugly.
And.. replying saying 'oh this was discussed'.. just no. We are the MCS. The MCS hub.. if you like.. the MCS thats being open so more people can join us.. sure.. but what we're not is mr-black-and-white-and-blue-ugly-identityless-hub-who-has-no-council-and-just-makes-changes-for-the-hell-of-it.. and hell, if that IS what he are.. then bye bye MCS.. because that is not something I want to be a part of.

The MCS hasn't changed. It both functions and looks exactly like it always has done; viewforum.php?f=60
Set that as a bookmark.

I really really hoped this wouldn't happen, but deep down I knew it would.

Re: Ugly.
I don't mind the skin. Considering how bad most micronational skins are, this one is quite nice.
...but every time I see the post and reply buttons I start feeling like I'm on AIM.

Re: Ugly.
Why is this hobby a constant assault of insults against everyone?
Everyone happily attacks each other, making every discussion useless...
Every single discussion in this hobby seems to be that if people have an opinion, they will never change it, instead making every discussion a discreete slagging match with everyone saying everyone else is stupid and retarded because they hold a different opinion, nothing is discussed about opinions the way discussions are meant to happen, everything is attacked and battled with a religious might....
This comic shows the situation:
Discussions are meant to be about a mutual exchange of ideas, not just trying to win no matter the cost...
And the constantly onslaught of underhanded insults in this hobby, insults designed clearly as an insult, but designed so that when it's brought up you can simply claim "what no, wasn't me, I didn't mean a thing, wow, for seeing that as an insult, you must be silly " are really just fucking annoying.
It's bad for the atmosphere, it gives the whole place a terrible feel and I would be happy if the entire site looked like this as long as the atmosphere was nice...

Re: Ugly.
Artz, seriously? Stop being childish and just change the skin if you don't like the (surprisingly popular) new one!
And to all that "trying to get 'protesters' out the way" bollocks - if you'd care to do any research rather than just complaining about how personally hurt you are about the forum trying to advance, you'd see that I had nothing to do with this whole change whatsoever and that I just went with the flow of the consensus

Re: Ugly.
Is it so hard to go to Board Preferences in the UCP and change it to the original style so that it appears a certain way when one logs on?

Re: Ugly.
Things can be improved. But isn't that the point of getting this new skin out in the open? So we can get some feedback and additional ideas for improvement?
Just sitting there grumbling about how you don't like things without putting any positive feedback into it does absolutely nothing.

Re: Ugly.
Skin looks great, however (I'm sure this has probably been mentioned) I feel like the forum should seamlessly be interconnected with the News Feed, Website, Wikis, forumlist etc at the top..but other then that I think the re-branding will really do this community a lot of good.
Re: Ugly.
I just thoughtof something that I guess was more applicable when the forum was the MCS forum...no matter; is there away to integrate a link to the resource map from the forum, in the header or something? I used to just clear the /forum etc etc from the url and get it from the main MCS webpage, but that trick won't fly anymore. That or put it somewhere convenient on the hub.mn site.
