yes it makes it more difficult because you dont know which subthread has a new topic so you have to click on each one or you have to go to atarnotes.com/forum the main page which shows it highlighted
also what was the reason behind moving it?
I'm sorry that your laziness to use a couple of extra seconds to get to a messageboard is such a burden. How about we set up a remote server connection to my computer, and every time you want to go to the water cooler, just tell me and I'll make the 1 or 2 extra clicks you need, k?
And in case the reason wasn't blindingly obvious, it's to 1) promote posting on what was a desolate National Board and 2) provide eventual social interaction between the states when we get those boards populated.
