I liked them more as well. Personally I don't need/use thread subscription and a few of the other features so it was nice having both parts of the site integrated into one.

I liked posting on the main site better myself, it just kept with the uniformity of the site, something that "really tied the room together" to quote TBL.

With the new forum it makes finding and tracking stuff easier which I like but also if I find it easier, then LE would find it easier to track conversations and find information.  The same goes for the SR site.  Honestly its kludgy and crap compared to many off the shelf e-commerce products.  But I like it as it gives you just enough tools to do what you want and you know it's not going to be compromised by known exploits in it.  (eg. The mass Zen-Cart hack from earlier this year)

I'm glad to have the forum and marketplace separate.
Reduces the panic factor when SR goes down and allows SR to provide info while working on SR server. :D

I prefer the new layout, but not the new headaches.  Holding shift and refreshing pages to see posts show up is a bit annoying.  But things like post count, search, and unread threads are incredibly useful and make the minor headache worth it.

Are you using the standard tor + firefox portable bundle?  It should not do that, mine certainly doesn't.

I wasn't part of SR back then, what was so much better about them? Because these forums seem fine to me

We should get some v bulletin forums

vbuletin has too many exploits, same with ipb. SMF works fine (although I really don't like it :P)

vbullshit is the worst forum software I have ever had the displeasure of using. I am a big fan of phpbb, punbb is nice quick and lightweight though.

SMF is somewhere between vbullshit and punbb imo. The private messaging system sucks ass, but other than that it is fine, nothing exceptional though.

phpbb is just as bad lol, hate it

I think phpbb is the best forum software around by far, although I like punbb for being lightweight and fast.

Not me, again too many exploits, but mainly I just don't like the way it operates and looks. Oh well difference of opinion there :P. Personally if vbulliten and IPB weren't such exploit heavens I'd like them both a lot more.

I do not even know how people can complain.
We have a service that is illicit and free to use.  You should just be grateful for what you have, no matter what form it is in.
And as for risks of exploits, well didnt you think about risk when coming on dark net?? 8)
