Dear Kuno,
If you update to vb4 I might have to kill myself.

Kuno already upgraded to VB4.

Then he downgraded after everyone was like 'This is shit'.

I was here for that, I think. But with SPP upgrading an all, I kinda fear what's in our future.

Yeah.. we tried this for a while. Then went back to 3.

I don't know why anyone would change without a boatload of mods to it. :/

It was pretty freakin' awful.

A really really unfunctional and gaudy version of vb4.

If you want a sense of how ugly it is, Serebiiforum's front page is as far as you need to go.

Read Who Moved My Cheese? :P

I seriously dunno what's wrong with VB4. At least the version SPPf has right now. It looks pretty good and nothing's broken as far as I can see.

Yeah, like I said before, imop SPPf's default style doesn't burn my eyes any more, at least.

vb4's layout is unnecessarily redesigned in terms of look and feel. I prefer the more simplistic and minimalistic feel of what we are currently on.

Are you suggesting we should move away from UPN every time it changes to a layout we don't like or understand?

I have indeed read the book. I understand the point you are trying to make, but I am also pointing out perceived flaws in the philosophy of constant readiness for irregularity. Besides, in this case it is most in our interests to maintain the current forum format than simply adapt to vB4 because not only is it possible, but...

...just look at what happened to serebii...

what Serebii looks like
what Serebii should look like if Serebii Joe insists on keeping his parent architecture intact
what Serebii should look like if he were to reorganize things even the slightest bit better

The Serebii Forums' main index is an exercise in Aspergerian poor organizational skills. Insisting on having everything laid out on the front page, he creates a main page that (quite frankly) looks like a fucking joke. It is barely navigable and results, I should think, in most people bookmarking particular forums rather than bookmarking the main index proper (as is par for the course with any webforum). Why does he have separate parent forums for each generation of the Pokemon video games? This is fucking retarded. He should have one parent forum for all of them -- "Pokémon Video Games" -- and then have child forums for each of the different breakdowns -- "Generation 1", "Generation 2", "Puzzle Games", "Mystery Dungeon", et cetera. Why does he have eight different parent forums for Competitive Pokemon? He should just have one parent forum -- "Competitive Pokemon" -- and then put the eight child forums inside.

To give you a proper analogy, the way that Kuno has UPN laid out would be like if you found a bound copy of the following books on your table:
  • Treasure Island
  • The Last of the Mohicans
  • Tarzan
  • The Jungle Book
  • The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
The way that Serebii Joe has his main index laid out would be like if you found bound, separate copies on your table as follows ...
  • Treasure Island, Chapter 1
  • Treasure Island, Chapter 2
  • Treasure Island, Chapter 3
  • ...
  • Treasure Island, Epilogue
  • The Last of the Mohicans, Foreward
  • The Last of the Mohicans, Prologue
  • The Last of the Mohicans, Chapter 1
  • ...
  • Tarzan, Chapter 1
  • Tarzan, Chapter 2
  • ...
  • and so on and so on and so forth
It's retarded is what it is. The Serebii Forums' main index's layout shows what an organizational moron Serebii Joe is -- just as his website's sidemenu does the very same. If I ran a company, I wouldn't let that guy within 20 feet of the company's managerial offices.

Yeah, serebii.net's got a really shitty organizational structure, especially the games section. Instead of "fixing" really old crappy pages no one cares about, he should really try to class up his illogical lists of games.
