Please no flame wars either, whew.
Anyway, the forums are perfectly fine. Nice simplicity and no stupid space-taking pics next to your name and not a jillion options like on newer forums. I would neve leave these forums. Nobody should change them at all.
Take one out and scratch my head, I am black but once I was red. What am I? Remove the outside, cook the inside, eat the oustide, throw away the inside. What am I?
