Technically, this board sucks.

You would think someone running a bulletin board in 2017 would have some sense. This board looks like something from 2000.
If Cary is agreeable, I can have some of my H1B buddies come in and modernize this place.
Just let me know.

No argument from me. This forum looks like it is being run on software I used to run on my Commodore 64.

It does appear somewhat outdated to most other bulletin boards out there. Perhaps because of laziness or the Jew.

I agree. This forum could use a little updating. Seems like some guy put this place together in 2001 and left. The log in procedures suck, as well.

We really do need another and better board. This place is embarrassing, especially as a regional board representing such a high class, educated audience. My buds from Frisco laugh their asses off when they see what we are dealing with. They laugh at the D.C. Metro area as well realizing it is the shithole it is. As the mighty DMV, we can do better. But we don't seem to have the personnel here in the area to do so. What a sad area in which to wreak out a living.

If you want controlled content, go to Nextdoor.com. If you want a free-fire zone with all that implies -- good and bad -- come here. They're *different*, serve different purposes.

Whinging about FFU is like complaining that Thai food is hot, and you like Southern cooking better. Fine -- so eat Southern, don't go to Thai restaurants. Not tricky.

As for the UI, get over it. It works; that's all it needs to do. Shiny is fun, but all too often doesn't add value (and costs bandwidth, which you might notice you aren't paying for here, but Cary is).

<rant>
Personally, I hate all the "modern" web pages that are tailored for mobile, forever-scrolling and using CSS such that the only way to find links half the time is to randomly move the cursor around until you trip over one by accident. Too many "web designers" have forgotten what usability means and what the point of having a web presence actually is.

Greybeard has got it right.

I say: neither is this board democratic nor is it perfect.

If you care to improve on it, feel free to throw up a new, improved version on your dime.
See if it sticks to the wall. If it does, perhaps Cary doesn't need the aggravation or headaches.

Knock yourself out.

The patrons of FFXU appreciate & accept this for what it is.

Best of luck with your beta version. I hope it brings you peace & wealth.

Yep. Cary's ball, Cary's rules. We provide no actual value to him: no membership fees, no ad revenue, nothing. If he decides to randomly change every fifth word to an obscenity, then he can do so. We get no vote.

Not only do you like to be fucked in your ass, but you actually push back and welcome it harder. You're a fag, and you're getting nothing.

OP is why IT people are shitheads. The board is very easy to use and technically performs flawlessly. Solution: Let's fuck around with it and make the user relearn how to do exactly what they were doing before.

I'm confused. How does the Department of Motor Vehicles come into it? And what does it mean to 'wreak out a living'?

Not all IP people would agree with OP. In fact, I'd actually argue that OP is *not* a real IT person, who would appreciate function that works. Arguing for the shiny is more a marketing approach.

1) Nice Guy Eddie has a solid premise in his assertion that IT people are shitheads.

2) Greybeard is right (again)...the OP strikes me as an ameteur con artist by using a mixture of technical jargon with a suggestion couched in an "I know better" approach.

3) Though I have no empirical evidence, I suspect (as was posted earlier) that the OP very likely has penchant for rectal reaming.

What is the griping about? It isn't pretty, but it's without aggravating and irritating sidebar commercials and ads. It's free, and anonymous. There is no option for stupid, self-aggrandizing signatures....

If people who reply weren't so lazy that they edited the appended portion of the original message, it would be even easier to read.
