Site update killed the site

Featured Replies

What did I miss? Did something changed?

Yes. It's terrible. Everything is spread out. Too much wasted space.

There should be one discussion forum, no sub-forums.

Get rid of all the pinned topics.

Agreed.

1st - moving this topic to the 781 subforum.

2nd - I haven't pushed an update in a while.

3rd - minus the heritage subforums I added, this subforum structure has been the same since.... Probably the early 2000s.

I'd say the vast majority of people who visit here bypass all the other forums and go straight to General Discussion and Squadron Bar.

There's so much overlap in the content that there's no real reason to have these forums separate, and they're located further down the page.

New folks are interested in the "What are my chances?" and "Pilot selection process" forums. They're at the bottom of the page.

There is very little interest in any of the other forums. They should be at the bottom.

Not trying to call your baby ugly, and maybe you're not trying to drive traffic and engagement, but the forum is declining.

If you want to stop in and see what people are talking about, which format is the most user-friendly?

Not that this site should be built according to my personal tastes, but I've been here since the inception of the site and I think others may feel the same way.: It's no longer easy to login, glance at the front page, and browse the topics being discussed.
