In fairness, you can go into your account preferences and turn off most of the useless stuff.

I think S1st took the path of least resistance in setting up the site. The color scheme is similar to PBW, the forum names were copied from here pretty much verbatim, etc.

I don't think the moderator(s?) there pays all that much attention to the content. I haven't noticed any thread ever being deleted, though a few have been moved.

I don't understand why they just didn't carry the old SFI SE forum over to the new site?

The rest of what I said capnq. The way you quoted me it sounds like I am attacking them; I am not.

Shrug. I only quote the parts I intend to comment on.

I don't agree that their site has improved a lot; AFAICT it has barely changed at all since it first came online.

SpaceEmpires5.com is still waiting filled with information, stories, and people needing wisdom from emperors such as all of you. Stop in more often and lend a Depleted Uranium Cannon to future allies.

Yes the site has improved greatly.

Now that the "Oh noes! It's the next MoO3!!1eleven!" posts have faded away, the site is almost tolerable. The reason I don't post there much is because most of the time Kwok's beaten me to the punch. That, and there just doesn't seem to be the same level of acceptence of my nonsensical ramblings over there.

As I visit the site now, I can see they've changed it -- but now it looks like a bit toy-like, as if it's trying to appeal to pokemon kids, instead of the gaming community. It's not something I care for and I think it hurts the site's overall value in apperance, but if others like it, that's good for them.

IMO the graphics tweaks they did recently are mostly improvements, and they finally changed the settings so that replies default to "re: < topic >" rather than requiring you to type in a subject header every time.

I still prefer this forum (especially the BBS interface), but I don't understand why so many folks around here seem actively hostile to that site.

You mean like SE5?

The colors and images used in the new theme were somewhat based on SE5.

A lot of people seem to be quite reactionary when it comes to publishers...
