I can't help but notice that everything seems to be just like facebook but about weed? I mean the news feeds, the likes and no rep. Just feels really facebookish to me. Will I stay here despite that it reminds me of the one thing I despise, sure but it's only for the people.

Sure the other site had problems but why not just fix the problems and leave the platform alone. Somethings are better left untouched.

Maybe we should rename it to faceweed....

that's because, the platform, v-bulletin, was way, way, way, way, past it's prime, and was just really crapy, out dated platform for a forum, considering all of the mo'better options out there now..
so in order to fix a bunch of the problems, they had to step away from v-bulletin.. :D

completely agree, i've been to many other forums, and lots of them have some pretty bad ass smileys imvho, and we've got about 10 or so, and nothing really out of the ordinary.

So long as facebook makes many dollah, developers will mimic it. Unfortunately.

While i can appreciate this one one level, it seems like a middle finger to present users in a way. I'm sure a lot of people have stoppedusing the site or posting as much because of the layout. I used to use the forum a fair bit with my phone, now i won't bother, it's utterly unusable, and it takes nothing but changing 80 to 100 in a config file, but the admin seems to have made it clear he has no intention of doing so. As such on a phone the forum is unusable, unless you use a third party app which is just daft.
