Should ArenaNet have an Official Forum?

Is it me or are the other "elite" forums ugly ? They use ugly color schemes... But they get 100,000+ posts...

I think photics.com has the nicest looking forum, the blue-gray is very nice, and the way the forum is set up is nice too, but there are no avatars/signatures. Oh and I think there should be some system that tells you if people have responded to your posts. Other web forums that I use show replies to your posts in the header...

I think that arena net should have an official forum, and it should be similar to photics.com in appearance.

Why thank you! :D

You can also customize the forum's appearence from your "Profile" page. There are other themes available.

I would like to create a more Guild Warsy theme for the site, but I'm waiting for punBB 1.3 to be released first.

On the main forum page, at the bottom left, there are three links...

Show recent posts
Show unanswered posts
Show your posts

Photics.com had problems with the previous forum system and the previous server. When Guild Wars was released, this site wasn't able to handle all the extra traffic. Fans went to other websites. Hopefully, Photics.com will have traffic worthy of an elite site when Chapter 2 is released.

I believe your "2 * 3 * 3 * 37 : The prime factorization of The Beast" would classify as a signature... As would this...
