To put it as politely as possible the EVE forum software is a hot mess. The site performs horribly. The JS is slow, bloated and dysfunctional. You all know what PVE and PVP are, and today I would like to bring awareness to what I like to refer to as PVF (Player vs. Forums). PVF occurs whenever you have to combat the forum software to either locate information or post. A post that is not mangled, molested, duplicated or simply erased by the software can usually only occur consistently if the player employs browser plugins, uses an external editor for copy-pasta, or recites some mantra of their favored Deity while praying what comes out on the other side resembles what they carefully typed out.
This is not to mention the various other anomalies, quirks and incomplete items many of you run into here every day. Hmm, I can click on a Blue DEV marker next to a thread and jump to the DEV post and the next, ad infinitum. How about the GM marker.. Nope, nada, kaput.
We have PLEX for Good, do we perhaps need PLEX for Forums? With your help it might just be possible to wipe out PVF in this decade.
The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the ho's and politicians will look up and shout 'Save us!' and I'll look down, and whisper 'Hodor'. |

It is sort of sad, that I can't even remember when was the last time my post wasn't molested by the forums in some way. I'm definitely supporting this in spirit, but I'm not willing to put my PLEX where my mouth is. I've just accepted that you can't type a post on these forums and just post it. I know better then to fall for that noobie mistake. You always copy over your post from some other functioning piece of software, preview it and cross your fingers before hitting the POST-button. |

edit: this is satire, intended to bring attention to the shameful state in which CCP has allowed their forms to rot. If you do want to purchase and donate PLEX to this cause, I'd be happy to send you my affiliate link.
Maybe its you that's the problem. Forums work great for me on my phone, tablet and pc.

So the problem seems to affect only gudposters.... I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

remember that time everyone said "Hey ccp the new forums aren't ready" and ccp was like "Don't care, try them anyways" oh okay maybe they are a little broken, injectable html or something. they went back to the old forums for a little while. Then somewhere around one of a dozen issues seem to have been fixed, but well.... You can trust me, I have a monocole |

I wonder if CCP made a serious offer to Chribba if he would consider taking over the forums on contract?
nah - What am I thinking? Would never happen.

-1 No sig images or gifs. Nothing is more annoying than having crap jittering all over the page when trying to read a thread. Leave that stuff to the 12 year olds on the FPS shooter forums.
I like to think that CCP is smart enough to know that there's quite a few in this community that aren't mature enough not to post a goatsie or something else in their farewell rage quit thread.
. They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake. |

I blame the ISD for the state the forums are. They are the root of all evil.

Heck yeah, I'll.... oh, you said "PvF".
Anyway, these forums at least are well policed. My wife told me that the Blizzard forums are spammed every night by bots running ads for adult websites and realty companies and such. And they don't do a thing about it. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

It doesn't always save the draft correctly. I've lost many many posts. I reflexively ctrl A and ctrl c before I post. |

I actually like this forum's quality. With the notable exception of the posts getting lost due to timeouts sometimes (get Chrome btw if you want to solve this with the back button) I think the overall presentation and setup is pretty slick. Guess it's just me. |

Or perhaps its you the npc corporation member that is the problem. The forums would be a much better place without npc alt posting.

Benny can't even reliably operate the shift key; it's a lot to expect that he would alter his forum settings and preferences. "i advice you to go spit on the back of someone else because you are fall on the wrong horse." - Meio Rayliegh |
