Okay, before I start off on this little speech, I'd just like to tell the mods that you are free to close it because it's just a comment, but I think this needs to be said.
For the past few days I've been seeing so many threads popping up with people complaining about the changes being made to the message board, and frankly it's been driving me crazy! Why don't we all just stop complaining and deal with the changes? It's going to happen anyway, so why don't we just try to be happy about it? The administrators are doing their best, and sure it may not be our favorite thing ever, but why do we have to complain?
To illustrate the position of the admins, I want you to imagine that you decided to re-design some room of your house where a bunch of your friends come to hang out and spend time. So you design it and plan it out, pick new artwork and paint color, then you start your project; part way through some of your friends come over and start complaining about your project saying "Why did you chose that? That looks so bad! That's an ugly color! I liked the way it was before."
Wouldn't you feel bad because they're complaining about all of your hard work?
That's how I see it with the boards. We all come here to hang out, and spend time, and now it's getting a face-lift, but people are complaining about all of the admin's hard work.
So I say, why don't we give them some slack? And let's face it...by this time next year, we'll probably have forgotten all about this little ordeal. Most (if not all) of us will probably love the new burgendy color, and if we are still complaining within a years time, that's just strange. I'm sorry.

Anyway, I know that this will be closed, but I just had to get it off my chest. So thank you for reading.
