I'll tell you this, the newer (08-09) "junior mods" up to the now senior mods that the ownership chose are terrible. I posted in the administrative forums at the TWC on the subject several times, and both times got an overwhelmingly agreeable response, even from some of the actually decent moderators.

I do like their layout, probably just because that's the first forum I belonged to- period- and got used to it. However, I rarely post anymore over there because the ownership doesn't care about the total war games as much as owning the total war site and running it like a country of some sort. Really a drag.
