My Personal Constructive Opinions

I know a million threads about this have already been made, but if the web team should so choose to venture upon my thread and view my opinion, here it is. Design: I think the home page is top notch and I really enjoy it, however that is where my pleasure ends. I vehemently oppose this white paged/black-texted design you've established here. Take some cues from the old website. It was very easy on the eyes and it was honestly one of the main reasons why I came back to the website nearly every day. It just made me feel relaxed. This new design is very distracting to me. With the high amount of lumens that computer screens can transmit through the air these days, I'm left nearly squinting just to look at it. And don't just say "turn down your brightness." My brightness is not the problem, it's the site. It hurts my eyes. Layout: I know you guys are already getting a lot of flack, but be prepared to get more. I am utterly and completely, 100 percent(ly) opposed to this social media style of forums. The hashtags are confusing, the lack of separate forums is disdain-inducing, and the complete disregard for a sense of unity and organization makes my head spin. The reason why we have separate forums is so that we can separate the Halo 4 discussions from the Halo Reach discussions from the Flood discussions (which btw, PLEASE PLEASE PLEAAAAAASE bring it back). Hash tags don't do that. When you go on the forums, you're just thrown into this mumbo-jumbo of randomly-organized topics that have no order to them. I know I know, you said you just have to search which tag relates to what you want, but the thing is that hash tags belong on Twitter. They don't belong on a website forum. Haven't you ever heard of the saying "don't fix it if it ain't broke"? Separate forums weren't broken and they worked great. Please, trash the hash tag crap and go back to separate forums. Threads: I actually like how you did the threads, and I totally agree that the more replied-to posts should get a higher spot on the thread. That way, just by being first doesn't guarantee your post to be at the top for all of eternity. No criticism here so there ain't much more to talk about. Oh, and I love how you can directly post pictures. Nice feature. Accounts: I also like what you've done here. I think it's pretty cool that you can link Facebook, Microsoft, and whatever else you allowed us to link together. I wish that you could make our avatars a little bit bigger because half the time I'm not even sure what the picture is supposed to be. Again, no major gripes here. If I think of other things to post, I'll post it but really the colors and the layout are my biggest concerns. To be quite honest, the jump you've gone from the old forums to the new forums (which aren't really forums anymore, they're just social forums) is just too drastic for me to accept. Don't get me wrong, I like change, but I don't like the change that frustrates me to no end. inb4hurrdurradaptyounewwb Oh yeah, and please make the text bigger. It's so freaking small that I'm afraid of getting cataracts just by looking at it. New Gripe: Please make the threads be bumped instead of whatever voodoo black magic ordering you've got going on here.
