New forums...

I was noticing a performance problem on the new forums. I did some digging, it appears that new forums are actually a skin on top of the old forums and your computer is still rendering the old forums in the background.

Seriously? That makes almost no sense at all. Why would they bother with the change then?


Heroes : Angrem (50 Stone tank), Exo Inferis (50 Fire blaster), Exo Proteus (50 ill/emp), IceVengance (50 cold defender)
Villains : AtomBomb (50 Rad/Kin corruptor), Aleks (50 SS/Inv brute), StoneLethal (50 EM/Stone brute), Davroz (50 Bots/Dark mastermind)

Huh?


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

I think this is supposed to be a joke. The punchline being one of the reasons so many people get lag in COV and not in CoH is because the COV buildings are just COH buildings with new skins ontop of them. So your rendering two buildings for everyone one you see.


Could be wrong. But, pretty sure thats the punchline here.

Can't have been much digging. The last forum software was UBBthreads, while this one's vBulletin. While both are written in PHP connecting to a MySQL backend, they're entirely separate products from different, competing companies. I think the owners of vBulletin wanted to sell to UBBthreads at one point, but never got there.

I'm not sure why they didn't cut costs and just use phpBB instead.

As far as the joke... meh.
