TW Centre has had a re-vamp - The Org needs one too

[caravel]

I don't get it. I looked at the forums and they are ugly too. Maybe I'm just spoiled be the Sword Dojo skin.

Seriously, who thought brown text on a tan background was a good idea. If the guild skin is that bad just use one of the others.

I think it's ugly as well, and it's slow. It's the same software we have here (Vbulletin). Fair enough, the portal integrates the site and forums, but apart from that there is nothing that spectacular about it. The Sword Dojo skin is based on the standard Vbulletin skin which is easy on the eyes and user friendly.

What some people fail to realise is that those types of highly graphical websites are much heavier on the bandwidth, which is all important.

Also, I think your theory is off. The .com forums were always the biggest and it's ezBoard for christ's sake.

True enough, but I do think alot of their membership is down to support requests.
