I've also been on the IC for more than a decade and seen all the changes and the thing is that people came back because it was still a messageboard.
I'm not biased to ABW or anything, but as a person that seen the fall of IC multiple times and worked in social media, im sad to say but the new site ain't it.
There is a bigger chance to recruit new posters instead. People just want a message board and if ABW didn't exist, these people would migrate to coli or boxden no matter how wack those sites are.
I'll still be rocking with Maven, but I honestly don't see the rest of the IC posting there.
I have full faith that the layout will become better. But ... They're gone

Yup. Just look at the posts littered on the Maven.

I cosign Busta, I'm IC 4eva but the new site is not well suited as it could be. Jay is there a way we could have a conference call with Greg ? It's the holidays so I know people have more free time. We can still do the Maven but I feel like maybe we should keep the old IC going until the bugs on the new site are hammered out and better for message board style posts. At least that way the transition can be smoother and we don't lose as many people.
unfortunately we're past that point. at this point, all we can do is move forward. I've still got yours and @Stew's pm's to Greg about requests, and I'm trying to build on those, but yeah...smh
when y'all can, I need y'all to keep creating threads on the new site, in different rooms. I'm not asking for anything ground-breaking, just avoid "this new shit sucks" threads, keep em related to what the room is about. it gives the posters who are coming some familiarity, and gives the mods practice on the new stuff.

That's what I'm not getting about the switch to Maven. Why does the layout need to change? Can't the forum be moved with the same layout? I think that's the major issue with it. Shit just looks trash. That shit just looks jumbled. If the real issue is recruiting new posters then theres plenty ways to do that. Shit we got plenty posters we could run podcasts through to bring in new members and keep the IC going strong. We got Twitter, fb IG etc....if the issue is bringing in new life then switching to a whole new platform ain't the way to do it

the new layout just doesnt feel as homey as this one it feels more like social media Facebookish.
the way this one is laid out has that classical feel u go to whatever section look for a thread and post.
that new one feels like everything is just bunched together
