If they wanted to lower the traffic to their servers this is how you'd do it ......

@longjohn119 Can I ask you to lay out your reasoning for your claim? I do not wish to assume that it is made simply because change for some people, is percieved as bad.

@adam_sanderson I base it on the fact that pretty much every person I know on the Valhalla forum hates it .... The only advantage is they actually figured how to make a Spam Filter work unlike the old forums but other than that it's just not as fast and efficient to use

@longjohn119 Because other people do not like it, is actually not a valid reason. This is the informal logical fallacy known as the argument from popularity.

I do not understand what is meant by fast, as I can type and read at my normal speeds and page loading appears the same to me. I would need a definition of efficient in the context of this forum to even start to understand what you mean by the term.

Just look around you son, a week later and hardly any posts and most of them haven't even gotten an answer ..... In fact this thread I started is the most popular one LOLOL

At least they are keeping the spam out, unlike on the old forum.
(Or the spammers don't find it worthy of spamming anymore.)

@kormac67 My guess is this template already had one built in

You'd think a group of programmers could have figured out how to write a freaking Spam Filter for the old forums ..... I used to administer a group of 6 Linux based servers for IPOs, mainly American Indian but also a couple of environmental groups and I figured it out and I'm an Electronics Engineer .... Before you could just download one as a browser plug-in I was writing my own ad blockers back in the Windows 98 era ..... Point being this stuff isn't that hard if I can figure it out on my own with a little basic research

I never took part in the previous forum.. so i cant speak on it. But this on does to seem to very cluncky. I know its impossible to please all but the going from page to page on mobile is not fun at all.
