This would be hilarious if it wasn't my fav site. Okay, I guess it's funny still, in a dark gallows humor kind of way.

I have to believe the MCA art and stylized header of the site, the one with the css elements labeled "forums, news" etc will be returned. Especially the MCA-drawn trolls and dice. I'm guessing that that stuff is being saved for last, as there's probably base functionality and engineering issues to work through first.

Taluntain any word on if the the old art will return, especially dice trolls?

If you're able to look past the easily changed cosmetics and every small change, it's even less than that. But if every minute change induces a panic attack in your heart, then I believe it's a big deal, sure.

I don't know about panic attacks, but your casual condescension is certainly beginning to bother me. You've been dismissive about every single bit of criticism against the new layout since its inception. Nobody asked for it and hardly anybody likes it, the vast majority of the changes it introduced were garbo and thankfully most of the really bad ones could be reverted. Meanwhile you just keep sticking your fingers in your ears while going NANANA I CANT HEAR YOU, YOU ARE ALL AUTISTS UPSET AT MINOR COSMETIC CHANGES because all you care about are google death threats regarding mobile viewing, and apparently couldn't give a shit whether the site ends up ugly as a result.

If I came over and started spray painting over your living room, that would also be a 'minor cosmetic change', but I bet it would leave you p. upset.

Also since we are apparently now left exclusively with Easily Changed Minor Cosmetics (tm) and all the Truemeaningfulstrongpowerful Changes (R) were reverted - was it worth it and is this an improvement? An inquiring mind wants to know.

Codex Year of the Donut Codex+ Now Streaming! Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is.
Funny how I have never been annoyed by another Xenforo I lurk on, while the new layout of the codex - almost the same - feels like a serious downgrade. Maybe because it was wide and quite handsome to start with. Eagerly awaiting further tweaks.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
The button that used to say "Go to first unread" now reads "Jump to new".

That one is a genuinely minor nitpick, but still.

This is over google bitching over mobile support? All I see from them is stirring bullshit with other sites saying that they're bots or some retarded shit when half of their search engine is news generated by bots.

Well you see, the admins don't want to lose SEO ranking. So in turn they're gonna lose half of the existing userbase (optimistic). Hope it was all worthy!

The worst part of all this, no complaining will help. Staff have already decided this is good, and all nay-sayers are just autistic screechers. Oh well, was a good run.

I think it was actually about the lack of security updates for Xen 1, although maybe someone more interested in google analytics than security could have used that as a predicate to migrate to a more SEO'd forum stack.

Ok, so now that you've ruined the Codex beyond repair, what's the gameplan?
I would rate you "It is a mystery" but since I cannot find the goddamn button, this will have to do. Anyways; the gameplan is ruining the entire internet site by site so people have no choice but to browse the big social media platforms and nothing else. Enjoy decline.
