Well, this is going to take along time to get used to. And I notice I don't have all my titles. Or all my posts.

Looks good though! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

It's an old archive which has been restricted, a lot of the posts you have won't be there.

I think it's nice and smooth.

Merging 3D elements with pastel colors looks just awful.

Well, not really the colors, but the shape.

Hm. What exactly is changed in the new forum in contrast to the old?
(Apart from the weird look...)

Oh, and I never liked that "Show your creation" is so far down. I always thought, it should be one of the most important subforums.

Anyway - I don't see a reason yet why we would need another forum.
Can somebody explain it to me please?

I think it's to add more features and add a new look. So they made a new forum, I guess.

This is great and all, but I utterly hate the bland and painfully-contrasting background design. I really hope its changed to be more cozy, like the current Minecraft Forums.

Reddit isn't the only site that has upvotes, many other forums have it aswell. Infact, this forums pretty much already has this ; it's the "reputation" system at the bottom right of each post. I don't mind that being replaced with a thanks.

I know this. It was a joke.

Does this mean that attempting to edit threads won't be like storming the beaches of Normandy anymore? That's all I really care about.
