    You are a shining example of a larger problem in human psychology, namely the propensity to just deny reality for as long as possible and pretend your decisions somehow make sense and everyone else is just retarded. People like you were in charge of Czechoslovakia after World War II, and look how that turned out.

      Before the changes there was nothing wrong with it. Tomorrow, pending some internal staff discussion, the category formerly known as Miscellaneous will likely consist solely of the Off-Topic forum, in which case it makes a whole lot less sense.



      CivRev is Civ and as such our 'core business', Spore isn't and we don't cover it at all beyond that forum (much like with Paradox and Nation States, although we'll almost certainly be killing those). We'll probably end up moving the Spore forum to underneath Other Games, it's just a matter of deciding whether Other Games will be in the same category as Off-Topic, or become a category of its own right (under which MoO and RoN etc would be moved as well). Give us 24 hours...



      I guess.. but bit of a mouthful, isn't it? And if Other Games becomes its own category, that will have a whole lot of non-Civ games as well. Something we'll take into consideration though.
      What the hell are you guys doing. Even the United Nations can make decisions faster.

        Could we maybe just start a "Bash the Admins" thread? Might be a better name for this one than "Status Update".

          Why don't you stop spamming our forums and do some real work for a change.

          I gave you a ****load of things you can fix, but you don't know how. Admit it.

          Give me your forum database and I'll have it up on vBulletin 3 within 24 hours. I'll show you guys how it's done.

            I started a thread to provide feedback and was told to **** off and use this thread. This is yet another example of how the admin for this site don't know how to title things.

            They ask for feedback, then they promptly ignore it all and get defensive. I'm schooling the admins in this thread and no one is bright enough to recognize it.

                I wonder if they might consider utilizing your talents to speed things up if you seemed to be a bit more amicable in addressing the problems. Perhaps a few step by step procedures to cure a few of the items you listed? Who knows? Maybe they will listen...

                  Step 1) Dump the extra **** some idiot hacked into vBulletin 2 on this site no one uses
                  Step 2) Upgrade to vBulletin 3
                  Step 3) Re-implement useless features intelligently in a modular design so as to minimally interfere with future updates

                  It's not that hard.

                    Indeed. When someone calls them inept, they well up and say that all their suggestions are invalid and that they are doing well and then threaten you privately with banning.

                    For those interested in such behavior, I direct you to the memoir of Heda Kovaly, a Czech author who survived Auschwitz and Lodz only to have her husband falsely accused and murdered by the communists who took control of her country. Just go through her book and replace 'Czechoslovakia' with 'Apolyton,' 'Arrest' with 'ban,' and 'parasitism' with 'criticism.'

                    Let's thank our lucky stars God put Locutus and co in charge of Apolyton and not a whole country.

                      Now until you two (Asher and Wiglaf) have anything meaningful and constructive to say in a civil manner, I'm not gonna respond any longer to any comments from you guys on this issue. If you want to actually impact our decision making process (which we've been more open to with this restructuring than ever before) trolling is hardly the best way to get us to respect your viewpoints. If you had any grain of common sense in you you'd know that, but sadly you seem more interested in playing games. Your loss.

                            There's no way I can impact your "decision making process". You guys do the most consistently dim-witted **** without end. I'm pretty sure you do the opposite from what I say just because you don't like how I say it, then try to defend how stupid that was.

                            I've given you many valid issues that ought to be addressed. Most of them are incredibly trivial. For instance, removing the styling tag from the buttons is a 1 or 2 line change in a file. But you guys don't even consider it.

                            Many of the other issues are fundamental design issues. Which, to me, indicates there's not a single competent software design person on your entire staff. Which is a shame since there are half a dozen or so people I know of on this site that could do it. And I'm pretty sure 99% of this site could tell you that hacking up vBulletin 2 beyond belief such that you couldn't upgrade is a dumb idea...

                            So yet, continue to ignore me. Whatever. Just don't pretend like you guys want feedback. I gave you real issues and no one on this staff is man enough or competent enough to deal with them. "Feedback" my ass.
