    Here's my thoughts:
    Ratings: Great, it's nice to have them back. Like, agree, and informative were all of my picks for the ones that I thought deserved to be reinstated the most.

    Conversation Search:
    Sounds good.

    Removed profile posts: Terrible decision, and one I absolutely do not approve of. It provided me a way to communicate with other users that doesn't require a private conversation or threads. I always enjoyed talking to other users with profile posts. It's very much a similar case to the ratings getting removed, a handy feature removed because people had to ruin it for everyone else.

    Rearranging forum: The flipped thing is meh. I can get used to it, but I personally wouldn't have done that whole flip thing. After discarding the flip situation, I think this one has potential.

    Total Downloads counter still seems to be broken... (actual total downloads should be around 41707, but for some reason the counter has decided that 165076 is a way better number.

    Thanks for your feedback.
    About that, it's something you'll need to get used to.
    Getting rid of profile posts was in our backlog for a long time now, it was supposed to happen at some point.
    As previously wrote, most people here would heavily misuse, other would take it as an opportunity to insult or to spam others.
    That kind of stuff should stay on Facebook, not here.

    Can you stop spamming? It's annoying.

    Wrote in another thread: That's on our ToDo list.
    Modifying hardcoded stats like that is pretty ugly.

    I really liked the profile posts, but there sure was a lot of spamming. I don't think it's a real problem tho, we can use discord or something for chatting. After all, this is a forum about a game, not your every day social media.

    And to all those complaining about profile posts..

    Sorry not sorry.
    Those are not coming back, and you'll need to deal with that (whether you like it or not)
    That was a decision we have discussed multiple times between the team, and those have more CONS than PROS from our point of view.
    To have real-time chat, you can use else. If you need statuses, Facebook is what you need.

    Useful and Informative are pretty close, so we just went with Informative.
