The old forum logo reminded us of why we were here..This new thing is ugly as h@ll, juvenile, hard on he eyes, and is a psychological disconnect from what we do .. There is nothing .. at least that I can see in that logo that has anything at all to do with IL2 .. not an airplane, not a star, not a prop .... NOTHING. I see cars, assassins, mercs,dancers, a guitar, a buck toothed rabbit,. and some other cartoon character .... that blue snot or whatever that ugly schmutz is behind everything, oh and of course the "Welcome to our forums.." greeting .. but nothing to even remotely think that adults who have spent literally thousands of dollars over the past decade on their chosen entertainment past time would come here. It looks like a site for gamer kids. Maybe someone who GAS or has some kind of input will at least redesign the logo to include this community... but I imagine that these boards that used to at one time carry more or as much traffic as just about all the other forums combined have since dwindled proportionally to the numbers nightly on HL.. so maybe we just aren't worth the attention. After all .. we are a "niche" community..
Ever since this forum "upgrade" I have been considerably less inclined to visit. Not a knock on you guys at all, as you all have been a great bunch, but the whole flavor of this place has changed for the worse. Every time I come to this forum I feel as though I'm waking through the door of some wacked-out Disney flavored retail store. The banner is juvenile, and the blue snot is loathsome.
I've been posting more in the yellow forums and even at M4Today - places that I have frequently visited previously but only very rarely posted . The good days in this forum are now officially behind us.
