Re: What the hell happened?!
Feedback is always welcome, but feedback in that format without any request for changes or explaining concerns will be ignored or dismissed as the trolling it is, from me anyways. The actual site staff might be more professional. There's been plenty of feedback in this thread and others that didn't...

Re: What the hell happened?!
I saw some of the earlier defenses of these changes... they are fucking laughable. If the previous forum's backend was so poorly designed, why would that ever require a total redesign of the entire front end - unless it's just that plugging in phpBB was just a way to cut corners instead of actually ...

Re: What the hell happened?!
I took a single UX course and that was enough to tell me that this forum is a travesty in literally every single way. Why you would elect to use phpBB is totally beyond me. If you have any plans to monetize this turd, you can throw it out the window if you're going to continue making changes like th...

Jmo, please don't be rude. It's not really appropriate to say "feel free to leave at any time." On behalf of myself and the mod team, we apologize that our new forum does not meet your expectations. If you don't like it, feel fucking free to leave and don't come back. Feel free to find a site that ...

"So, how would you like to split the Balkans?"
Why do so many people lead with this meme? It's almost always a sign to me that the person I'm talking to doesn't want a useful conversation and is just trying to start nonsense conversation so they're not the odd man out. Has a useful discussion about 'how we split the balkans' ever occurred in the...

Re: What the hell happened?!
I'll take organized categories, a moderation system that is actually halfway effective, permanent storage that we won't have to erase every couple of years, and no longer being known as the most frequent poster on the forum in the history of the site over the old forum. Especially that last part. I...

One of the smartest men in history and a very inspirational human being. RIP.

Re: Yet another needless mass shooting
So, President Eden: How do you propose to protect innocent US youths from being needlessly shot to death? I would propose huge restrictions on the rights of citizens to own guns. I'd more or less ban that, in fact. You disagree. Ok. What's your answer? Why is he obligated to provide an answer? Why ...

There should just be a different score for each game type, combining them is kinda meaningless.

Re: [Poll] Balkan Gambit
The other thing, as Condescension somewhat touched on, is that it's far from optimal for Italy to attack Austria in S1901 every time. I won't go as far as he did and say that a good Italian player will never attack Austria on the first turn, but there are a ton of variables that go into a first-tur...

Re: USA starts a trade war with allies
Plenty of experts believed that Trump had decent odds of winning. It was the media that spun it as impossible. Some experts being wrong about some things doesn't mean you should just throw out the whole of academic knowledge. The reality is that a race to the bottom is, by definition, sub-optimal. ...

Re: USA starts a trade war with allies
@Octavious: the EU sells mostly specialized steel to the US. Some of it is not even made in the US. Hence trade. Well, that confirms Trump's national security argument then. If the US relies on overseas powers for types of steel unavailable at home he has a valid point. As for Ethics 101, is that r...

Re: USA starts a trade war with allies
The best way to negotiate is to establish relationships so both sides don't defect in cooperation dilemmas. Ethics 101. This race-to-the-bottom shit is only conceivably profitable in the short term and leads to lower net benefit overall.
