True that... but this forum has to be of service too.
No one likes change... period. But the best thing about this cosmetic change is that it is happening now and not later.

Right now the only service aspect that I'm coming here for is yerga's up coming Stocks application for Maemo and any new Apps that may be announced... I doubt Nokia is going to release any Diablo upgrades

If they were, we would all be here regardless of the font size or dang color scheme.

But penguin please...
A thread asking people who aren't here to reply?
The point he was trying to make could of just as easily been made in your thread and as a matter of fact it was.
On a side note... Reggie is reacting to comments and suggestions in yours and other threads on the fly. I have seen three significant changes in as many hours tonight. If he has to monitor even more threads I fear the dude will burn out in the middle of a change and we'll all get stuck with some Salvidor Dali looking, time warped theme or suttin'.

I think I'm feeling where you are coming from but the real change in this forum I'm afraid has already occurred. One of the attractions for me was that it did appear to be an alternative to Maemo.org. and that no longer is the case it seams.

For good or ill, enthusiasts need an alternative to the status quo. Corporations in the past couple of years have gotten the "Forum" religion and see it as way to control their products message. That may or not be so in this case but things have changed here none the less.

It has been my experience that the need for enthusiasts to create and maintain a culture that is separate and apart from a corporate controlled culture is so great that new forums will pop up overnight. Some become much more popular than the corporate sponsored ones.
