Yeah maybe a 50% drop is more realistic.

[Dasleah]

So... your argument against having a useful feature (stickies) is that people are idiots, and they should be allowed to spoil it for the rest of us?

...?

[Neonivek]

No my arguement is basically... Lets not exagerate... stickies arn't THAT good... and shouldn't be a deciding factor towards a move.

[Red Jackard]

Uhm. No one claimed they were - stickies are one of many benefits...  

[Neonivek]

Naw, some people practically said the move should be made just for stickies.

Or at least they said it would be very useful

Edit Addition: I think the REAL conclusion you can draw here... is that I am just plain flatout insane and prone to bouts of rage

far ahead of you my friend

Usually people who do the whole "pin this plz" topics aren't the type of people who would check to make sure the forum can even have pinned/stuck topics in the first place.  
If it hasn't happened already, it's not likely it will.  Given the game's learning curve and its current audience, it is unlikely that this forum will have trouble with any of the concerns brought up in this thread, especially if there are moderators doing their jobs.

I'm at work...  So I didn't take the time to read all the posts...

BUT!

One my other regular forums is the Gaming Steve forums for Spore. (http://www.gamingsteve.com)

They use SMF, and srsly, I love everything about that forum.  But I think SMF's the way to go.

I see what you did there!

Having recently encountered some annoying bugs trying to post as well as the limitation of this small typing window has if that is solved maybe made me a bit more positive towards all this.

A move to a forum that would allow options such as "view new posts since last visit" and pm notification would be nice. I'll also throw my hat into the no avatars, no sig pictures and no post count ring. The lack of those is what I like most about this forum.

Another vote for a move.  The fact that existing posts can be saved makes me skip for joy.  Hallelujah!

Misc requests:
* Have the spellchecker stop flagging "Dwarves" and "Dwarven" as errors.
* Enable the best search possible within bandwidth constraints.
* Have some forum-savvy chap review the list of tags for smilies.  On one board I went to, every time a chap wrote the word "smoking" (within quotes), the text was replaced with a face and a cigar!  No joke.
* Also have him turn off various bandwidth-intensive features.  I've heard horrible things about how much it costs to host a sufficiently active board with enough bells and whistles, and we all want YOU to keep as much of our donations as possible!
* Think about moderation.  Do you want to accept any assistant moderators at all?  If you do, what guidelines should they follow?  My only request is that moderation continue to be relaxed and gentle.

Displays of number of posts, or privileges based on number of votes:
* One vote against 'em all.

Avatars and picture sigs:
One vote for avatars (if present) to be DF (or at least Dwarvish)-themed, and picture sigs entirely forbidden (perhaps with an exception of small-sized game screenshots), so that the forum retains an unmistakable DF look for all players, without un-Dwarvish and distracting elements, even as options.

If you have that problem now, it isn't going away, that's FireFox.

That's because the moron who added that smiley didn't make the keyword start with a special character.  Ussually smilies are ::smoking:: or somesuch.

You can just add the words to the dictionary.  It won't suggest them in the event of a misspelling, but at least it won't bother you by tagging them.

[Red Jackard]

Right click the word, then select "Add to dictionary."
