It's vBulletin. It looks like a hundred other vBulletin based boards out there. It's not good, it's not bad. It's meh.

Meh. Nothing spectacular. I've seen the same type of board a million times before on a million different websites. Honestly, I don't know why they even took the forums down to make the change to such mediocrity. Oh well.

I find them a lot sharper than before. Nice improvement imo.

The new boards do seem a bit "crisper"... or maybe "cleaner"... whatever... and for whatever reason they changed... if they're happy I'm happy... it's all good!

Nah its not vbulletin, its totally home brew. Looking at it closer the backend of the forum is really nice for SOE as it allows them to integrate the forums into the player database even deeper. However the front end features dont even begin to match the features vbulletin has specially v3.6 with all the cool ajax enhancements.

So I think it has a lot of potential and you have to start some where.

I think it's vBulletin with a lot of the features turned off and a bit of customization.

The software is OK, but they eliminated all the class specific tradeskill forums. For that, I hate them.

Oh, well. Another sign of the times, I guess.

Ok, then at the very least whoever noodled out the front-facing GUI was influenced more than a bit by vBulletin. It's very close in visual design to a default vBoard.

I'm starting to like them a little more but I have to say ... I still liked the old forums better.
