Frankly, when I opened this forum couple of minutes ago, I was confused ... well, think I am still now.
Not sure if I'm gonna like this idea, since already too accustomed with the old form.
But, I'll adjust myself.

For me the main issue is: "Who are all those unknown people, and why I've never met them before?"
I always like to meet new friends, nevertheless I think that having so many contacts at a time could make the relations less intense...

in my case, I love to make funny friends. I believe that among these unknown people, there must be funny friends.

I like the new form. I never undestood why I have to get a pasword for one forum, and another for members forum.
Now is better, in fact there are new members I don´t know, but it will be interestint discover new characters.
There is only one thing I don´t like. The dates of the replies in the index. I find -example- a topic with the las reply in sep 23 2004 and in the next line a topic whose last reply was today. why not put in chronological order the topics?

Personally, I don't like the new forum. I only posted in the Help Desk, in which Teacher Alan answers all specific grammatical questions. But at the moment, many members post anything they like. :twisted: The new forum is too messy. :twisted:

I logged into learning center for a few times. frankly, I dislike it. it was too serious and cold, less fun, and it was unattractive.

sometimes a "messy" forum means that everyone can utter his/her opinions freely and feel comfortable to contact with others. I like the new forum.

Redrose, from my standpoint, I agree with u. Internet is a freedom environment with no ties here. And forums are places u can utter your opinions that you don't afraid to someone harming u because of your words. So we can't change "messy" forums into "unmessy" forums.

I didn't know this problem. [Maybe because I was only on the members forum. :mrgreen: ]

We will simply adapt ourselves.

Why can I not put my smiling avatar ?

maybe your smile avatar is too big. you can modify its size and post it to a website. then you post it here as your avatar with URL

Absolutely agree with you! It's easy to make a forum messy, it's hard, even impossible, to turn a messy forum to a neat one. :wink:

what do u mean about "neat one"? plenty of rules? everyone has to beware? and as cold as previous forum of learning center?

that isn't supposed to be a club, it is a school, and if it is over-strict then , it is like a prison.

I was shocked when I logged in last Monday to see that all the forums had been mixed together. My immediate thought was "I don't like it". Like some have said, I thought it was too messy. However, I was in a rush because I had to take a train so I couldn't take my time to enjoy the new format.

I think that, despite we like it or not, we should make an effort and try to get used to it.

At first I didn't like it. I was shocked :shock: when I couldn't find any of the old friends in the forums, that's why I haven´t written a post recently but, I think I'll try it again and this will be a new chance to meet other people :lol:

Idalia, that is a poor excuse. We all missed you. If you don't post here, what will become of my fan club??? Don't you ever think about trying to pull that stunt again. :evil:

but now this forum is ok. it is up to members's taste.

if people, who wanna have fun and wanna a free atmosphere, can post their posts on the boards where Dixie and Butler and I are moderators

, and the people, who wanna be serious and scientific, can post their posts on Arale and Pirate's Boards.

those people, who wanna become monsters and perverts, can post their posts on Unknownsu's board :twisted:

but I guess none would visit Unknownsu's section, except his wife, poor Lalee :cry: :cry: :cry:

I don't know about that, Lalee. I think I recall you posting something not too long ago. You are a monster/pervert in the making.
