Newer Forums vs Older Forums

Here it is, my opinion on behalf of the Big Switch. It had made me fell like I have magically registered in a different type of forums. I am enormously use to seeing the SOCOM logo at the top of the page. Now its a lot different. I can understand the switch between the types of forums, I dont know if it was in regards to SOCOM just becoming less popular due to age, or if its due to the fact we post about a lot of other games. But I am sure about one thing, it totally feels different.

Now I dont want the upper guys like Libertine and DaKilla to take this as a flame of decision, or a complete rant, but rather as a dignified posting on a regular users ideas and opinions. I am just voicing my opinion, as I know there will be others, and I am looking foward to seeing their responses.

I'm not exactly sure on this one yet. Each forums have their advantages and disadvantages. These new forums haven't been up long enough for me to see much about it. I don't really mind it really. Besides, there is a link to take you to the regular SOCOM stuff in the Playstation section.

I already love the new forums, it was a great idea.

The move was quite necessary if we wanted to maintain the core group of diehards as well as expand quicker than my waistline. The SOCOM hype is certainly not what it used to be. Sure it still is for many of us, but many of us also can care less about it anymore.

Just like any species on earth, the need to adapt to environmental changes usually means the difference between survival or extinction.

We don't want to go the way of the DoDo just yet.

My vote is yay for the change.

I'm exited about all of the changes. I think that a reincarnation is the perfect thing to keep the website interesting.

i'm voting for SOCOM forums > New forums, because i don't like how i can't see the private section at the bottom of the main page, also because i lost about 150 posts during the switch... but if you keep the fourm colors the same, i'll forgive you:smile:

I think it's too early in the run to decide. Because the change just started and we have a long haul before it can be determined how effective the decision was to switch.

Go Pre · 08-18-2006

The change was necessary in my opinion. Like Boba said, "The SOCOM hype is certainly not what it used to be." In order for the forums to conitnue to thrive, we needed a, as Veins called it, "a final resting place."

I sort of dislike socom 3 and get no enjoyment out of it, which made me lose interest in this forum. Yay for the change. I will be a lot more active.
