My mom is against it! She says I shouldn't see a doctor, but I'm starting to think I should.Toph_Girl250

Well if you are over 18, she has no say in the matter

What I hate most is that the new sig will have to be resized to this abomination

Indeed, because they will be taking away several features that made this site what it has become for users over the years.

GS won't be the same anymore. I also see the design itsel will be similar to Giant Bomb. I'm not really a fan of Giant Bomb's design either.

Where did you guys get that idea from? o_0 They clearly said that gifs won't be allowed in signatures, not the entire sites. For all we know we could still have gifs in avatars.

I thought people were exaggerating about how bad GiantBomb's layout is... until I saw it for myself.

The forum threads look like a comments section! Horrible =o

Exactly! It's a comment section, not a forum! :lol: You even have to hover over a user's avatar in order to see their post count and level.

Yeah, haha!! :P Damn, that's pretty bad. I hope if they are choosing that set-up, that it still retains some of the "GS" style.

I don't see the point of having forums look like comment sections. Well good news is it looks like we still have a few weeks left to make our final days last.

I am thankful for that, it allows us to gather everyone up from our unions and make sure everyone gets transferred over to the new off-site version.

So.. Lark said that they'll contact the leaders of the major active unions, and give them the option to be transfered over to the new site.. but as a normal forum board, not a union.

It won't be though. The leader will just be a moderator. There will not be an option to create a new board or anything like that.

Guys, seriously, just stop saying it won't be the same! We all know it won't be the same! But do you really want this place to be gone? To simply disappear after all this time? What makes unions awesome is not that they're called unions or have officers, it's the community itself, the users who post here is what really matters. We can't let this place die. We have to make sure it gets transfered over to the new site, and then we can worry about trolls and what not. I'm sure we'll be able to come up with something then.

Unions could at least be placed at the bottom of the main forums page to try to prevent that. Currently, the gaming genre forums are at the bottom and those are the least active forums there. And there's already OT, so I couldn't see SCU becoming another OT.

It's not like I will leave. Hardware discussions I assume will stay and if so I will stick to that place at least. Probably OT as well.

The only ones I know that had access to julian were NFS and jdude, but aside from them, I don't remember anyone.

And I think it's time to not depend entirely on julian anymore.I'm pretty sure that he would be proud if we did manage to get out of this one on our own. We are an union after all, we have to make the difference. We can't just let things vanish because something may seem hard, we have to take the lead and make things work! Let five years of work and activity be destroyed that easily? Hell no!

Ok, so you, 2nd, and horgen contact Lark, and tell him about how the leader here is no longer active, and that you want the union moved to the new site. Of course, he already said that he'll contact the admins, but we don't know when. So it's better that you guys do this now.

I read about it, but I just want to make sure I understand. Will we have to contact the admins if we want our union to be converted to a board, or will they contact us about that? While I won't be as active here once the redesign hits, I do want to help the Food & Drinks union live on.
