Because it is hard to read, harder to access quickly, serves no fucking useful purpose, is not "more efficient", what a stupid thing to say, is ugly and crammed
Oh and, this just in, no one cares about the forums below the Garry's Mod forums.
If you disagree, please feel free to post. Unless, of course, you just want to be on the owner's side because fuck your dignity you want admin and I am in fact "A whiney bitch deal with it"
EDIT: Very good point from Nicknero too, that you can no longer see the latest post from each board for an interest. Very annoying.

I honestly don't care if its this way, or the old one.
-
That's fantastic.

I actually have to agree with DBK.
Even though the front page length is like divided by 2, this shit is so fucking annoying and clusterfuck.
It was already a shitload of pages you had to load to get to a certain thread in the HL2RP CCA boards. Now it's even more complicated and FUCK.
Loading 1 extra whole page on your phone takes 10 times longer then loading a few more lines of text on the front page of the forums. <.< Aka this isn't more efficient at all.
Want another reason? Oh here you have it: Most of the time I look on the front page of what the newest post is in a certain board, to see if it is anything interesting. That isn't possible anymore since everything is fucked together in 1 god damn board. So I'm forced to load an extra page PER SUBJECT to find out what new posts it has....
Jesus, this is just fucking gay. Nuff said.

Exactly. That is exactly why.

Support. It looks like shit and Is crammed like fuck

+support, it looks like an extreme clusterfuck, I'd rather spend the extra .5 seconds scrolling down, rather than looking at the tiny categories. I don't even play OCRP or HRP, so it's just an unnecessary eye sore and pain in the ass to navigate.
-
I basically agree with the whole situation involving this new update that was just implemented into the Catalyst-Gaming forums. I don't know which person would come up like a idea like this to clusterfuck the threads all into one pile that isn't organized very well. The seperate boards for Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2 Roleplay, Orange Cosmos Roleplay, etcetera etcetera are just fine by itself and I think the other users agree on this aswell according to the earlier statements. I have to give out my support, I agree as I said at the beginning.

Updated the OP, Nicknero had a great point.

Wow, people in this thread need to take it down a notch. Contrary to popular belief, the more cuss words you use in your sentence does not have any effect on the quality of your idea.

It expresses our anger of how annoying this new layout is.
-
It expresses my and anger and makes me feel slightly edgier and cooler. Also fix the forum please<3

Rofl was the one who did it, I'll ask him if I can screw around with it and try to make it better but for now, you'll just have to get used to it.
-
If by make it better you mean revert it then sure

Don't touch it unless you know what you are doing. I already had the GMR2 discussion board wiped because of this moving boards around.
When the category is removed, it cannot simply come back. Don't know if Somone77 has latest backups somewhere, but yeah. Don't touch the boards unless you know what you are doing. You don't just "screw" around with the boards like that :)
If Rofl wants this undone, he can do it himself, or come to someone who knows how to redo it without removing anything accidentally.
Its obvious that some people don't care, and others care a lot. Its up to Rofl now.
Locked.

Meh sorry if I went a bit to far in my previous post. I was just very disappointed in this new layout and found absolutely 0.0% advantages from it, while a ton of disadvantages which I stated in my previous post.
RoflWaffle's idea was to make the forums like twice as short, but it comes with the fact each board is just a pile of boards put together in an unorganized box, which means yet another page to load to finally get to certain threads.
Lets take a random thread in the CCA private forums as example: I have to go trough FIIIVVEEE boards till I finally get to that 1 single thread.
Half life 2 Roleplay -> Factions -> Universal Union -> Combine Civil Authority -> Civil Protection Private Boards -> Thread.
Previously I could just scroll down a bit, and click on Universal Union straight away skipping 2 annoying boards to begin with.
Edit: Sorry to post after the lock. I was writing this at the same time and didn't read Crap-Heads post before posting this. :c

I realize it's locked but just wanted to reply to you, I'm not going to touch them if I don't know what I'm doing as I know it would end in complete failure, Rofl told me when he gave me access that if I found a way to clean the forum up a little and make it look better then I could because it was right after he did the gmod thing, just don't want you to think I'm doing stuff without auth/knowledge :P
