My vote goes to the post count names. I always enjoyed seeing the name change/trying to post to change it. I loved seeing lurker ghosts as well as the Gone clan.

So in honor of the old pit, what will you miss and please post your count song at the end, the final one

    Are we calling this new board Message Pit? Cos if not, then thats what I'll miss the most... And I hope they add some different themes to this board, but it's definitely come along way since it launched. Good work guys!

    Knowing everyone's usernames
    Post counts
    Post count names
    Classic threads like the Boston Puker and Canadian tour party fanviews

    It's kind of like moving from the house you lived in and loved forever to some fancy new condo :>

    About this new board... I like having images here, ability to delete posts, the online Stickman and some additional smilies, but I do think this board is harder to read. It's all a matter of what we get used to I guess :)

    just knowing everyone's user names is a big one. so many connections made through knowing who you are talking to.
    and the sense of "home" that we all had over there....we all have to get used to it here i guess... i hope all the name changes go over smoothly...

    love the avatar pic foxy!

    one thing i will miss is when you put your mouse over a thread title the old pit showed a preview of what it said so you didn't have to open it. the new one just says new posts or something.

    My post count..... I was only about 50 away from "sad" ( i think thats after LBC)

    also just the theme I had which was avaocado lite.

    This forum kicks ass, but the simplicity of the old one was just awesome.

    The thread preview function....i'm hoping this will magically appear one day??

    I'm also hoping the post counts get put right when the old pit gets shut down?

    I loved the simple style of the old one - I looked like it could be a work related site

    Not being able to post on my old screen name, hopefully I'll be able to get it back someday and not lose my post count... a5pj
    -just hit faithful...

    Def previewing the thread so I don't have to open each one, esp ones like this "NEW ALBUM NEWS" and in the thread "jk hahahaha"

    Does seem much slower without all the non-10Cers

    But I like the smilies :roll:

    I really miss the preview also, but don't get the post count? I don't see anything. :(
    I also miss seeing the arrow that showed if you had posted in the thread. Am I missing this somewhere?
    Mostly though, I'll miss those that for whatever reason won't make it over here. :)
    Edit: Almost forgot to say I miss that when you click on a link it doesn't open a new tab. I keep forgetting I have to go back. :(

    i don't understand the name problem. i still have mine.

    so far i miss seeing my siggy and everyone elses. but hopfully they'll fix it.

    wouldn't miss the tons of double posts. trust me this is a good thing come tour time.

    one thing i will miss is when you put your mouse over a thread title the old pit showed a preview of what it said so you didn't have to open it. the new one just says new posts or something.

    o yeah.
    if i had to pick one thing i didn't like, that'll be it.
