Has anyone heard one single word from the powers that be about them trying to salvage this place. Are we doomed to either acceptance to quitting? I know all I've done here the last two days is whine but for cryin' out loud, NOBODY seems to like this layout. HELLLLOOOO!

I havent been in here much, but I was hoping there was some kind of 10C web page expert that would explain to the powers that be that participation and traffic has declined. This new layout is turrible. b-(

Ever think that that may be the reason for this change? To thwart participation and traffic?

This will work for just fine, what's with all the complaining. ALL thats needed is some visine and Ray Ban Wayferers.
This is what's one calls a swing and a miss with the bat flying into the stands then to complete it a face plant on the plate. I gather I'll continue to be absent around here.

All I've done for the last several days is come here and gripe. I don't like myself like that. So here's the thing- I'm taking Pearl Jam off my favorites to prevent me from being tempted to do this anymore. Maybe someday a better site will be created again. Good luck, best wishes to all.

Like others have said, I almost wonder if the purpose iis designed for or the result of less board traffic.
That's the first thought that came to my mind. This had to be done in order to drive people away, because it will certainly drive me away. My membership is due next week....time to say goodbye all.

I honestly must say that if you leave, this forum will be a lesser place, I've always enjoyed reading your thoughts and feeling towards issues here.
I've not posted much recently, but still would occasionally scan the boards for topics, and loved seeing/reading you and a few others post well though out, sound and logical replies to topics.

It does make you wonder why we've had no response on here from the mods. Are they hoping that we'll simply 'get used to it over time', and that things will continue as normal? I for one won't be posting here much now as long as the site looks the way it does. It's a fucking mess.

seriously. how many people are they going to allow to jump ship because of their terrible message board upgrade?? i would think that the band would give a few fucks that their online community has seemingly died off over the course of 6 days.

It's not like I'm one of those people who you ever hear criticizing the Ten Club - I think they do a great job. (And they also allow me to still post here after accumulating probably the highest number of bans in the boards history "> ). But still, this new layout sucks. It's too hard on the eyes. The white background isn't doing it for me at all. Hopefully they'll do something to improve it soon.
There are definite bonuses to the new layout. The tags are cool and will be helpful if they're used properly. I like that you can embed videos, and it looks like it automatically reduces images so that you can post pretty much any image without being a script wizard.... But I think a lot of the complaints are totally valid. It is hard to navigate. The line separating the post from the posters signature is way too light and makes it hard to decipher where the comment ends and the sig begins...font size is too small...avatars are too small and putting them in the same column as the posts makes it more cluttered in appearance....but mostly, the white background is the killer. In the mid 00's or so, they switched from a black background to a blue and white theme and people freaked. Within a couple of weeks they had offered up a few different skins - the blue and white one, the black and gold look similar to the way it looked before the upgrade, and the 'festivus' skin as well (red, green, and white)...After the backlash from the white board that time, I'm surprised they'd try it again. .I'm hoping eventually they will at least be able to give us skin options so that we can change the background. You'd think the font size and skin colours could be changed easily enough. At least I'm pretty sure with a php or vbulletin board they could be.

Now that I have a headache again from the glaring whiteness, I've got to go.

...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

It's a fucking mess.
posts, comments, they amount to 3 threats, 2 scolds and 1 "this thread is SO closed"In other words, not 1 fuck is given.

1. Nobody ever likes message board changes.
2. No message board has ever changed back.
