Sutekh_the_Steak Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) I like it a lot so far. The UI is fine as it is, maybe a little bit plain, but if there was a Dark/Night Mode option then I'd probably use that instead. Avatars are a good size, profile pages look fine. Overall pretty great for something which was set up so quickly and has only been running for about a day. EDIT: Oooh, I just found out you can get a little preview window of a thread of you hover the mouse over it for a few seconds. That's neat I guess. Edited September 25, 2015 by Sutekh_the_Steak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaosCalix Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) I'm surprised how well we're doing already. We just started less than a day ago and we already seem to be settled.Indeed. The forums were created 14~ hours ago. When I joined 11~ hours ago, there were almost no posts over an hour old (or even none at all over an hour old), so I joined very close to when it went public... and we already have 158 members, 149 separate topics, and 1408 individual posts as of this message.That's mind blowing progress, even given the popularity of the forums.

shiy0 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 you guys need to note that we bring a bunch of furs with us from the old forum who waited for this to happen. so i'm more happy that its working out now than suprised. although... we still need to settle on some things but most of that should be rather minor.

Sarcastic Coffeecup Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 It's hard to make out where one post ends and the other starts. Also there's an eyesore of a grammar mistake in the announcement to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDingo Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 The 'follow' feature's name makes it seem different from the friend feature, and I like it.I think it would make the more timid users less afraid to start following people they like.It's as if you're saying "I like you". As opposed to an option which forcefully implies "We're friends now because I said so! Accept!". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valery91Thunder Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I'm contemplating whether I should request FA to delete my data in their forums. I no longer want to be a part of their shitWait, people can do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDingo Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Wait, people can do that? I would have assumed that FA's new forums would be entirely built from the ground up and filled with loyal hugbox supporters.If the old forums were reintroduced on FA, I still wouldn't go back. But I wouldn't mind, for the reason that I could see everyone's old posts if I wanted to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valery91Thunder Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I suppose that if FA builds a new forum, it will exclusively be for offline status announcements and, most probably, for the black market section as it was widely frequented by mainsite members who were looking for art; I don't see how the rest of the sections would interest them. Maybe now that there's IMVU in all this, they'd add an advertising/support section for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidhenearlahi Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Well, you've got me curious then. What is the appeal of this forum to someone who hasn't used the FurAffinity forums? No offense intended, I'm happy you're here!I've never used FAF, or really any forums in the past. For me the appeal was the clean slate, fresh start and equal footing for all users. If ever there was a time to attempt to become an active part of a forum, it's when that forum is fresh, but with some promise of becoming incredibly active in the future, based on the history behind it.I'd never, for example, have bothered with some fresh new Furry forum someone posted on Reddit or Tumblr with a story about how they've recently learned how to code websites and wanted to try and make something better than the FAF!

ArielMT Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 (edited) The new forums just passed the one-day-old mark, just a few minutes before 0200 UTC. In that time, we had 210 user registrations, 241 threads made, and more than 2,000 posts. Also, the most online jumped from 79 yesterday to 84 just a few minutes ago.That's not a bad start at all.

I always felt like it always had a bit too much quality control, so it surprises me when people say how bad it was (aside from staff issues).

I always felt like it always had a bit too much quality control, so it surprises me when people say how bad it was (aside from staff issues).I admit, I rarely looked there. But when I did, the ratio of shitposting and assholery compared to reasonable content was far too high for my tastes. I mean, yeah, there was quality content there too, but I don't consider having to wade through a river of crap to reach it as being a very appealing quality. (and of course, there was the admins, but that's another story)Admittedly, this opinion might not be an accurate portrayal of FAF, but every time I looked, that's what was reinforced.

Spot Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'm not a fan of the circle-avatars either but I believe that's done with CSS so it should be easy enough to change."border-radius: 3px" (or whatever number)I kinda like it. Simply because it makes things look a little more sleeker and less like Windows 10. Windows 10 looks gay. I have the "Stylish" plugin, might write a script if I can be bothered.
