Does anyone really pay attention to the quirks of the forum?

    I was just curious. I put a lot of time and energy into trying to make the forums an awesome experience. There's still some more stuff I've been thinking of doing, like removing the "Level" titles, adding an option to have you "choose your race" in your account settings, and have your titles change based on your level but characterized by the race you chose. Just for some fun diversity.

    Stuff like that (and more) I'd do, but I've been unsure if the stuff I've already implemented sees any appreciation. The bookmark system rarely sees use, it seems.

    Imho, it's the little stuff that makes the bigger picture really nice, y'know, adds the polish.
    Though I don't want to keep working on the forums if it doesn't really matter.
    You might be thinking, "Kaz, you should work on other stuff anyway."
    Well, I like working on the forums. It's fun, engaging, and usually educational. (So I do tend to tweak things often.)

    So, yes, no, maybe so?

    You should add a third option to the poll which is, "I didn't even know any of these things existed".

    Congrats! Pretty good poll results so far - people either like the details, or don't notice them. Generally that means they haven't had a bad experience using the "little deatil" features, and they didn't find the features to be invasive to their primary goals when browsing the forums, so round of applause!

    To be honest I never even noticed the bookmark tab. I guess I always just scanned over it. I will definitely use it in the future now that I know it exists d:

    I like the sidebar menu feature when you skinny up your window, all the options of the forum are collapsed into a couple menus. I assume that's what one sees when they use the forum on their phones. Cool and handy feature. ^_^

    I'll be honest, this server needs to go back to its roots, starbound should not be a side attraction, it should be the real deal.

    Right now, nothing. It's kind of trying to expand too much.

    Starbound is still our focus. I guess it hasn't been noticed, but the expansion operations stopped around when the Starbound crashes became prominent. Those became priority.
