I thought the Battlelog forums were inactive. But compared to this place, they were full of life…

Maybe it will liven up the longer the forums go on, but for now its nearly dead here.

that’s because it is so ugly to look at and awkward to use .. as evidenced by the fact that hardly no-one uses anything but the general chat section … people don’t stay long …plus once they see all the inane drivel lordmang posts as threads it destroys their faith in humanity

That’s because the moderators are supposedly more strict here and have adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards non-constructive posts and threads (Braddock’s words, not mine).  
Let’s be honest - there weren’t many Battlelog members who were there because they wanted to discuss all things BF.

You mean you didn’t see the mass amount of people posting saying they weren’t coming over to the new forums?

People just don’t like change - especially a change like moving here after spending 5 years on BL.

Just wait for the beta, and this place will be crawling with hundreds of older members, complaining that BF1 will suck

This place is a joke in the face of Forumfield. . .

I’ll post here, but I can’t say I’ll enjoy it THAT much.

GameTrailers was much worse. Then again, what did anyone expect after six + redesigns.

Watch when the new look rolls out (if it rolls out) and it looks almost like battlelog, all them “i’m not going to the new forums, they’re ugly” people will be eating their words.

Try the IGN and Gamespot forums. Lots of good conversations to be had there.

Read what you wrote a few times and think about it. Please.

That’s interesting.  
I find the moderation on IGN’s forums much more professional and consistent than on other forums.  
I even had a respectful, in-depth conversation with one of their senior editors regarding opposing viewpoints. I have NEVER had anything of the sort with any of the unpaid volunteer moderators here on this site (or the old Battlelog site).
