    uh yeah, I think we need to work on the custom avatars, if we are only allowed to have EA icons from game franchises then a lot of personality from people are going to be lost.

    Agreed, and it will be harder to tell who's who.

    Also because I just realized I don't even have the same username on the new forum LMAO I hope they give us a way to change it because I at least can't find it.

    This whole transition is so ugly and frustrating.
    Right now the forum is a complete downgrade not upgrad.

    Navigation is a scrolling misery. I could care less about the most likes on a post. I care about the most recent posts. The place feels like a popularity contest when you're forced to look at the most liked post everytime you want to scroll through a thread.

    The sims 3 section is a joke and a shadow of what we had here for the moment. Hopefully that will change when and if they organize the nominated threads.

    Why do we have posts cluttering this site from a decade ago? I like the historical threads, but I got posts on my page from 11yrs ago from when this forum was only a couple months old. Those posts are not necessary and need to go.

    I think this new forum triggers me in a bad way becuse they did a rotten job in creating it. Can we post on our pages like here without starting a new discussion?

    We are losing a special place that we never had to share with any other games. It's really sad. X, discord..bla bla..will never compare to what we had here, a community full of creative diverse simmers who are passionate and enjoy debate and conversation. I'm not feeling that on the new forum. So sad..

    10000% this; really not sure how much I'll use it at all. I wasn't around much here either in the last few months but I liked popping back in and seeing what people were doing. The new forums don't feel fun to navigate so we'll see as time progresses. Kinda sad these forums will close so soon :(

    Farewell, friends!

    The sails are set, the wind is east, the moorings fret.
    Shadows long before me lie, beneath the ever-bending sky,
    but islands lie behind the Sun that i shall raise ere all is done;
    lands there are to west of West, where night is quiet and sleep is rest.
    Bonxie: Great Skua, stercorarius skua. Meet me on Fair Isle.

    *Picks up suitcases and pauses at the door, surveying the now inactive threads*

    Goodbye, forum. You were our "home" in this little pocket of the internet. I'm really gonna miss you. *sniffle* Well...hope to see the community on the other side. *Wipes tear. Walks through door*...

    *Rushes back in, clings maniacally to the Game Pack sections and screenshot threads, sobbing like a tragic cartoon*

    Please don't make me go!! I can't do it! Sims 2! The feedback! The speculations and idea threads! Oh gawd...

    *ugly cries while being dragged away by the mods*....

    *Silence*

    Guess the time has come to say goodbye to these beloved old forums. I'll be hanging around the new ones trying to figure out how to use it I guess. Maybe I'll get the hang. I sure hope EA is making note of the complaints and suggestions and taking them to heart. I suppose time will tell. It's been fun y'all. :wink:

    Bye Forums. You have served us well and you will be missed. I hope over time the new ones will improve to where they will become as active and cherished as these ones have. See you all on the other side!

    Well, goodbye then forum... I've "only" been a member for roughly 2 and a half years, but this is actually the forum of all forums I have been a member of where I have been a more or less regular continuosly posting member for the longest without somehow drifting away from the forum, and I probably would have been a member for twice as long or more, but then... this is how it ends.

    So, goodbye.

    In all seriousness, the new forums are not fit for purpose. Threads longer than about 40-50 posts are unreadable due to the way replies are structured. And according to this moderator it will take them a few months to make Newest post as default view for threads. :lol: It's safe to say that these new forums are here to stay and any changes they make to them will be small and slow.

    I'm gonna miss this forum. There was nothing wrong with it, and it's just a much better forum in every way possible compared to the new one. It looks cleaner, navigation is better, posts are easier to read (you don't have to turn your head to read posts when your on a computer, it's better structured, it offers custom avatars to give us a visual identity, and the list goes on. What's not broken doesn't need fixing.

    We do not get to make our avatar. We can choose from a selection the site has to offer. Bummer.

    *sigh*

    I was going to do my usual Irish exit and sneak off without saying anything. I can't.

    Look, I'm not a community person, it's a miracle I even ended up here, but I DID, and man, am I glad! What a wonderful community you are. I'm delighted to be part of it. ❤️

    I will truly miss this home because of the people here. It's been such a fun and inspiring place, I really hope we get the support we deserve on the new forums, but I believe we can make it work, no matter what and no matter where we go - we're that kind of community. We can handle a couple of new adventures! I agree, it's been a bit tough to put it mildly, but I hope to see you all on the other side!


    Right so, I'll be over at the relocated Blue Moon bar if anyone needs a shoulder to cry on. The left one please, the other shoulder got busted when I burst through the door the other day. Ok, the right shoulder is fine as well. It'll give me a chance to cry too.


    Farewell good aul' green and white forum. This is the end my friend. I will never forget you. 💚

    😭

    I just came by to say goodbye. I mostly lurk but I'm here several days a week. I feel kind of lost now. Hopefully they'll get all the kinks worked out in the new forum and I'll come to love it there too.

    To quote the Pirate King(Jimmy Buffet)

    Drink it up, this one's for you
    It's been a lovely cruise
    I'm sorry it's ending, oh it's sad, but it's true
    Honey, it's been a lovely cruise

    These moments we're left with
    May you always remember
    These moments are shared by few
    There's wind in our hair and there's water in our shoes
    Honey, it's been a lovely cruise

    Anyone who wants to hang out can join us at the Blue Moon. Even if you don’t play occults, you’re more than welcome.

    This Parrothead is signing off.

    On tje new forums im being automatically subscribed to threada how do i stop that?
    And I agree with the person who mentioned the sidebar with other games. I wish we could remove that. I'm not interested in Star wars, or anything sports related or Sims 4.

    Though goodbye means the birth of a teardrop,
    Hello means the birth of a smile. (Bing Crosby).

    @GraceyManor There are notification options under your settings. It looks like it could use some tweaks but it has helped.

    Also top of page is a bell you can click on to follow or unfollow. And yes sadly it appears to follow auto. Hopefully that will change. Let them know in the feedback thread how you feel about it.

    @GraceyManor, when you go to the thread, you will see a bell symbol in the upper right hand corner, just click on that and it will unsubscribe the thread. But I see a problem when we unsubscribe from a post that needs to be fix in my opinion. You can unsubscribe from a thread but every time when you post in the thread, it automatically subscribes you to it. There needs to be a better subscription toggles for the threads.
