They work with a ladder system. A dying type of forum.

The big deal is, no one wants to get used to something no one else uses. I have no intention of getting used to their forum style either

Not to be mean to the simu staff but in all honesty shouldn't they be more worried about what their fan base thinks and enjoys rather then what they like and enjoy?
I mean last time I checked we are the ones that are going to be buying the game

You would think that... now, I don't mean to imply every Simu employee/GM, etc feels that their forums rock... but many feel their forums are simple, easy, elegant and the best ever. So do some of their followers... but outside that miniverse, few people can navigate that ... beast.
But I whole heartedly agree... pay attention to what the vast majority of your players and customers want... and I'm sure that new forums would be loved by at least 90% of the potential customers, if not more.

Ya know I remember a discussion about oh prob a year ago when the release date was still around feb of this year lol. That simu had stated that they were in the process of upgrading their forums. Hmmm makes ya wonder.
But I think they will end up having to prior to any type of release of HJ since a large percentage of their player base wouldn't use the current system.
Now I'm now web dev. but would it even be possible to implement both systems so that their current player base that enjoys that type of forum could still use it and the others could use something similar to vB?

But that's just a formatting thing. The information here is well presented, nicely spaced out.
On the flipside, the official HJ forum is just staggering in its complexity. Unless you want to read each and every post, you can get completely and utterly lost in the conversation.
I actually think it's a plot on behalf of the devs to make their forum so unusable, that it will keep the numbers of users down...!

Well, quite right. I have never seen a forum anywhere else on the Web like the one Simu uses.Jaraeth said:Much of Simu's staff have stated they don't like these forums and if everyone would get used to it, it'd be no big deal...

The great irony is that, here, I feel I can access information very easily whereas over at Simu, I find it to be just one step above chaos. Yet, those who are oddly passionate about the obscure Simu style of forum, seem to argue the complete opposite. It's quite weird.
Maybe it just highlights left- and right-brained people.
