[wp-forums] The "Changes" - PT2 - Let's get this together..

[Vkaryl]

And my .02 on top of it.... I've not had much to input here, because 
I've now got my ways of working with the forum set up to where it's not 
too annoying to get around.  I've got stuff I don't want to see (like 
the stupid tag cloud) blocked using adblock and RIP in FF, and while I 
think the forum could be infinitely more usable (especially considering 
that many users are not very 'net savvy, and a lot more users are used 
to the big 3 forums), as long as it works I'm not really going to 
complain much more than I have already.

Whoo's right, it's not a democracy.  Those responsible for the software 
and its usability or not should just DO it, to rip off Nike.
