True, there's no spamming on boards, too big for spam, a spam thread would grow like... cancer(?) or such!

I think this blue is really cold - I don't use subsilver at home on Mikado.
And because it's not all seperated into different forums, it's a bit crap. Cos you can be on Mikado but stay away from a lot of users because you don't even go into the same forums as they do, and here it's all just the one. And the lack of direction that you would have in forum description means noone's posting any interesting threads. Well I'm sure it's only for a few weeks anyway, so I don't really care.

For example: the prime sticky thread: "Post in this thread to get permanently banned. (EXTREME STUPIDITY FILTER)"

click on CP up the top there (on the right hand side) , click on Edit OPTIONS , down the bottom of the page is a miscellaneous section. there is a drop down box there with the title "edit forum skins". Lots and lots of skins in there (well, about 20). should be one you prefer to the default subsilver.

Subsections can be created if required though so far the only sub section I can think of is "why!!!!!???? Oh Gods Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

Wait til things settle down a bit. Some muppet clubbing and general fascist moderating will mean that no-one will have to be avoided and happiness will reign supreme if I have to crush every last one of your hopes and dreams to achieve it . Seriously though, this may be a temporary arrangment or it may be a long term thing. there's more on boards than just this forum, go explore. In the meantime, if everyone plays nice in the sand box (and no one tries to bury a few choice turds for the rest to find) your stay, however long it is, will be all that much more enjoyable.

None taken, but look and you will find. There are forums that have their own meetings, games, match nights, etc.

What are you intrested in? I'm sure there's a forum here that'll cater to it.

Aye, and you'd be amazed on how many post in it, so they don't "accidently" go into it when they're meant to be working.

Yeah I've done that but it keeps changing back to blue.

Yeah, I always think it's a good place to go if you want to talk about a specific thing, or are looking for answers on something. But it's so big you don't really get to know users, and let's face it Mikado isn't about getting information. It's just dossin.

Just not very active. Boards just doesn't have the same atmosphere... it's like going to UCD or UL and looking at their huge campuses as a NUIM student... it makes you feel very small, and insignificant, and you can't imagine being part of such a huge community.

Ye I don't really like the whole impersonal aspect to it

Nice one.

Now I don't have to go back and delete all those "questionable" comments I made.

Apparently I'd joined before!

And what the hell is that picture under my name?

I didn't pick that out.

I have been thinking and have come to the conclusion that the only thing I truly miss about mikado is the toilet smiley.
