There isn't one. It's the Community tab now. <3

edit: And in the top right, there's a smaller tab that will take you directly to the forum.

i am getting sea sick.

please bring back the forum tab ASAP

the forum tab had always been the first tab in the first place, and since big wham took over it became the last one... to finally disapear.

i think half of the community is losing its mental health with this tab gone. please put it back ASAP!!

what an absolutely horrible decision this was... i can't even begin to understand the logic behind this one... hmmmmm... "hey, even though less than 1% of the declining CC population visit the forums, let's confuse the f*ck out of them and make the forum more difficult to find!!!" or maybe, "hey!!! let's put a new tab at the top and then put all the stuff we want people to look at, a cool CC spam page, and ensure that people will see it by burying the forum within it!!!" what a horrible decision... the black jesus is disgusted...-el Jesus negro

the community tab is basically information that should be on the home page

The Community tab is perfectly fine. There should just be a forum tab next to it.

I don't always agree with owenshooter, but when I do, I agree completely.

Bollocks.

Obviously a nefarious plot to drive the forum goers away.

Are we not to talk to each other anymore?

What's next, deleting all non-game fora?

Then all fora in general?

This site is declining and this will push it further. The highest number of users was when it had a speak easy forum that was fun and vibrant. You should be moving back in that direction, not away from it.

Quit being a bunch of whiny cry babies! Try being banned for six years from the forums...SIX YEARS! I am perfectly happy having a little teeny tiny "forum" link on the top right hand corner of the page. Big deal...now you all know where to find your ways to the forum. Get used to it. Obviously the Community button is for newer members to the site so that CC can bombard them with CC stuff. I try to avoid all that eye noise, so I didn't even read one thing on the community page. All I know is that I found the Forum link and I know where it is now. No big deal.

I don't think BigWham understands how much the forums matter to those of us who go there on a regular basis. Most users don't bother.

The xkcd forums don't even have a link from the main xkcd page, but they're still wildly popular. Of course, xkcd also gets millions of unique visitors per month.

This is FUCKING dumb, moderators... I rarely get involved... But you all look like dipshits...

It's a test-run, so relax.

Think of yourself as a new user. Whenever you enter any online gaming community, what is most important to you?

1. Your games, or rather the 'action center' where you do stuff.
2. What the place has to offer (I guess, "Maps", but the analogy falls apart here). Moving on!
3. Scoreboard (important)---as well as Tournaments and Clans.

Now, we're at the toss-up. Click on "Community." Imagine that you're a newbie who sees this for the first time. Do you see anything useful? Do you see quick 'n easy links which get you what you want?

If yes, then adding "Community" makes sense.*

If no, then you're likely to be a regular forum user who already knows about what this site offers (or who doesn't really give a shit anyway).

My honest opinion: BigWham implemented the change to merely troll us forum users. I give him a 10/10 for a job well done!

*As a new user, who would really care about links to the member list for each 'mod'/volunteer category? Hardly anyone, so that seems like a useless feature.

macbone · Post by **macbone** » Wed Apr 30, 2014 11:34 pm

Honestly, I do like the emphasis placed on events, the dispatch, and the training academy. However, the forums are more important any one of those things. I guess the question is, are those things together important enough to have a community tab? Xkcd used to have a link to its forms on the main page, but it doesn't anymore. Only about one or 2% of people who visit xkcd go to the forms. Still, that's a lot of people. The site averages millions of visitors every month.
