That doesn't surprise me!

I can't even remember my username on there (unless it's the same!) and I doubt I've posted more than a couple of dozen posts. Too many Normals. Too much like every other forum out there too, with all their shortcomings and clunky layout.

One regular further down this board was laying bold claims to doing a Wrath 2.0 but I don't think much needs to be fiddled with:-
- Split screen is brilliant, speeds things up so much.
- Having n/m convos without even touching the message body also helps with skim reading
- The colour change helps differentiate between new & old posts
- No mod checking your posts first (though that's been dropped with Archant cutbacks thses days hasn't it?)
- No avatars, signatures and embedded pics & vids keeps the pages short and loading times down, plus keeps the focus on the content of the message
- Post counts etc aren't next to your name on every post so it keeps that from being the focus too
- There's no edit or delete option, so once it's sent it's sent and that forces people to type responsibly or face the Wrath of the Wrath
- Sometimes having topics that get bumped to the top with new posts seems the better option, but having it open and just as a fresh day to day board keeps things more immediate
- It was touted today about adding in post voting in an effort to quell trolls and some loanbots picked up recently, this could be a good addition but at the same time, most other chat formats are dominated by this and the competition for top voting etc so maybe we're better off without

...And this is all without me touching on the community that make up this board, but I'm well aware that you're well aware of all this as you've been 'lurking' for some time, but I started myself and found it hard to stop! The Wrath Rules All!

...Ah bums: I've been typing so long we've gone past midnight so this is now yesterday's page and you'll only see this if you don't click Top of Board or refresh the page (and let it pop up automatically) or if you have then if you click on Your Posts to check back for late replies. Oh well, still gonna 'submit' it (hit enter in the message title if you didn't already know - it's quicker)!
