RIP, old board. [NOSTALGIA]

[funKYcat75]

Soon it will all be gone. Braggadocious shields with no correct concept of the passage of time. No more counts of the number of sports fans 'online'. No more witty quotes where one's place of origin should be. Just another cookie cutter message board with limited smileys, runaway threads with perhaps-too-many embedded videos, and 'likes'. Oh, the likes. Will they tear this Paddock family apart as once strong posters no longer measure up to n00bs in the like department? Will the delete function keep us from seeing mid-night ramblings that are better thought of in the morn? Can we survive in a world with circular avatars?

Farewell, old Rivals board. We hardly knew ye ....

I've… seen things you people wouldn't believe… Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Tannhäuser Gate. All those… moments… will be lost in time, like tears… in… rain. Time… to die…

I feel sorry for the polititards and religiotards. Apparently smart features will all but eliminate quote-whoring.

I hate this thing. Anyway Rivals could revert the old version just for me but still allow everyone else to use the new board?

Copy/pasta from thread on sound off on new features:

• Better media embedding so you can share pictures, videos, tweets, vines, Instagram, Youtube videos, etc.
• Private messaging for both users and the staff to contact you when you've been bad. This is a premium only option.
• Mobile experience is nearly identical to the desktop version so links and media will be much easier to share and you can use other features like "ignore" and private messaging.
• User profiles are easy to create and view.
• Email notifications when people respond to your posts or when there are new posts to any thread you choose to "watch".
• Copying and pasting most web pages will now appear correctly in your messages.
• Polls can be posted on the top or sides of the board.
• Archives of past messages could go back years.
• Ability to share posts or threads via social media.
• A "like" feature so you people can let you know what they think of your posts without the former star rankings, which people abused.
• You can use the @ symbol before a person's username and they will receive an alert that you're trying to talk with them.
• Preview posts before posting them live.
• "Warn" button so you can alert mods to abusive posts or simply to cause problems for people that have different views from your own.
• When you reply to a message it will automatically quote the text from the message your responding to. This will help eliminate the problem of people struggling to follow a conversation.
• Multi-quotes so you can respond to multiple messages at once.
• Spoiler option so you can hide certain texts if you don't want to give away the final score of a game or ending to show or movie.
• More smilies and emjois.
• You can exit the board before submitting a new post and when you return you can continue the message where you left off.
• You can search individual threads, the current forum you're using or all forums on the site. You can also search for users, search by date and more.
• When you open a thread that you've previously read it will auto-scroll to the new messages you haven't seen.
• Better avatars and you will see them on the front page of the forum for who started the thread and if you responded it will also show you your pic so you can easily pick out your threads.
• You earn points for likes, quality posts, etc.
• You can drag pictures from anywhere on the Internet and drop them into your posts. You can also copy and paste images from the internet.
• Use permalink (small icon on each message at the bottom right hand side) to link directly to a post on a thread. By clicking the icon you can also choose to share the direct link to one of your social media accounts.

Hi new board. Will you be my friend and promise to love me forever?

 

[Desperado_1955]

Gonna reserve judgment on the new board until I try it out some more.

WTF, Willy. No gimp mask? Hate the new board already.

Man, too lazy to fix it. haha

 

[weused2luvhim2]

Going to take some getting used to for sure.

 

[argubs2]

I'm honestly struggling to find an issue / complaint. Load times were slower on the main board but Paddock / Rafters seem to be nice and snappy right now.

As long as page load speed holds up....I think we have a winner.
