Kimi-ICE asked for a username change, so he might be next.
The Forum Facts thread is turning into the "Coming up with better usernames to use thread."

Fixed.
I'm too lazy and lack enough inspiration to change mine. And besides, as I was born in Walthamstow, "North-East Londoner" doesn't really work for me.

Well I am back everyone. Hoping to use this return as a fresh start to not repeat past mistakes.
Also, I had no idea about Eagleash changing his username.

Wouldn't be the first time discussion of a particular topic has taken over one of the threads in the HWNSNBM Forum

Yeah, happened several years ago, probably before you joined us. I believe it was because his user name was too similar to somebody else's...

To be fair, even I don't remember him being De Crasharis, and i've been here since the beginning.

Neither do I, though apparently I was the first to welcome him as such -

Actually, eagleash had a sig some time ago that read "The artiste (sic) formerly known as de crasheris". How do I remember this, I don't know.

Finally, a new member that is not a spambot.
Does anyone know of the forum being in an older format? Occasionally, when I use a useful computer (called an iMac, not an iPad
) and loading the index page or logging out, a seemingly older white with black text format comes up instead of this format.

They are useful, those iMacs. I don't see anything wrong with them.
But an iPad is made useless by us kids buying the hell outa' the app store games that are useless and they get bored with them after 3 weeks. Unless it's something like 4 Pics 1 Word which challenges the mind.

Clearly you have never had the pleasure of using an operating system that's actually good. That and the fact that they're overpriced to hell and back...

iMacs come with a ton of programs to begin with. Most PCs don't. Plus, buying all the software for a PC will eventually make the cost for both about the same. Or is that total rubbish in the UK? It's like that in the US.

iMacs start at £1100. I can put together a PC that outstrips it in every way for about £600. Windows 7 comes with enough software to cover everything you need anyway, and what you don't get, there's a free version somewhere on the internet. Yeah, maybe iMac's have access to better programs for editing audio and movies, but for everyday use? Audacity and Windows Movie Maker serve me just fine.

I don't agree with this, it is probably the most common forum layout in the world and therefore very boring. It really is not very interesting

Sometimes the forum style doesn't load up properly, such as when you have a temporary connection problem. In these cases the forum software reverts to a very basic HTML format, which is what you described there.

Besides, this is the F1 Rejects forum. If we had a interesting, modern, better layout, we'd sort of betray our reputation as Rejects.

Better is subjective. If it isn't broke, don't fix it.

I never said it needed to be changed, I just personally find it boring and generic. Is it a problem that I have that opinion?

If you (or someone else) know how to make the forums look better then by all means it should be done, but you need to be very sure about what you're going to do (not only that it'll actually look better, also that it won't cause trouble).

Thanks for the clarification. My connection is pretty bad living on top of a mountain in the middle of a forest.

Yes he did. And my prediction of him being the next username change was correct
Here's the list again:

BaconLettuceNinja = Ataxia
