It is awful. A vbulletin update could fix that.

Sounds like you're projecting.

I could (and have before), but I've got enough work in my life and would generally like to do something else with the little free time I have

Nah, your just missing my point, which is that there's a system, it's not bothering anyone, and you would like it rearranged to your liking. I can understand things like tapatalk for mobile phones, etc., but an upgrade and all the other little things that domino effect along with it would be a $200+ cost. I doubt Lech is gonna pony that up for you. I admire your tenacity though.

Well, Plankton. I would like to trim the forums a bit. I see other forums like Hoffman and vinyl collective. They don't have this bloat. Now, I'm not saying we should copy them, but I'd argue that there are rational reasons why you might wanna cut down on the bloat and aim for more of a simple, streamlined experience and a little less of a deserted maze filled with old fossils.

I also would like to feel like this place was somehow a little more alive and dynamic and not just a stagnating snapshot of the past. Who knows, it might inspire someone to do another little thing and maybe that leads to yet another little thing.

You wanna compare this to someone with ocd rearranging books in a library. Fine. I don't find it a particularly good analogy. It seems like just another way to discredit a good idea (imo) in a derogatory manner. But, you know. That's fine. You do you.

Well let's be fair to Plankton here. His analogy was rearranging book shelves in a library, not the books themselves.

Can I add a category to your list when you get this going, or are we all just subjected to yours? Can we vote on all of this? Is that fine? I'm fine. How are you?

lol

Get a grip fella's. It's just a forum.

Merry Christmas.

Sure, I tossed something out there in part to get a discussion going.

If someone could figure out two or three music forum themes to cover everything music and that could coexist without much overlap.. That would be great.

Maybe just enjoy the forum as is and just call it good, tore. I know what you think you're doing is useful but when it really boils down to how most of the people use this forum, it just doesn't make sense to worry about it. I reiterate my point that it rarely if ever deters me from enjoying my time here. No reason to take this stuff all that seriously. I like this place because it's just a fun place to come hangout. Also if you don't like the theme, put your browser in dark mode. It turns the theme into something much easier on the eyes. Hell it even looks cooler.

  1. Good Music
  2. Okay Music
  3. Bad Music
  1. Trip hoppin', rap-rockin' punkadelica
  2. The jazzy, bluesy souls of funky fresh metal
  3. Indie and other assorted sad-sack lo-fi music
  1. Music that Batlord likes
  2. Music that Batlord doesn't like
  3. Music that Batlord says he doesn't like, but will sing along to when he's drunk

Key, you got a screenshot of what your dark mode looks like on MB? I use the Chrome extension Dark Reader, but it changes practically nothing on the site
