Check your tone, please.  How arrogant to imply that you know so much more just
because you have been around here for 7 years.

Did I, or anyone, imply that you are old and stupid?

I like clean and simple, but did you know there are actually forums that ARE
clean and simple, yet allow for much better organization of subjects?

I don't think anyone is suggesting changing the forum format just to make it
more colorful.  At least I sure hope that is not the case.

I frequent many forums and this is fine the way it is.  Could it be improved?
Sure it could.  However, it would take moderators and admins who are willing to
take the time to develop the forum so that organization exists in fact and isn't
just a pipe dream.  This forum ain't broke, but it doesn't mean that it can't be
updated.

I would hope that there are better reasons for keeping this forum the way it is
other than, "It has always been like this."  For example, maybe this forum is
much more stable than other alternatives.  Perhaps it requires less maintenance,
etc.

Oh, never mind.  Everyone here thinks their way is the right way because they
think they are so damn smart.  This place will never change, and it really
doesn't matter to me if it does or not.  Why did I just waste 2 minutes??  LOL.
