I like the button thing. I think it is great R. is customising the board so much. Besides Facebook and Twitter this is the only online forum/community I've really visited a lot over the last decade (well maybe 1-2 years on MySpace which has vanished of my radar entirely) so I think R. must be doing something right to keep me entertained. The bog standard PHP forums you get are pretty lame and boring to navigate through and most of them die a silly death. I like the work R. does and I'm not sucking up. If you look at the bad reactions the board gets on Rockman I think it is obvious the majority prefer the board we have here and to continue to keep adding a few things here and there to keep things fresh and interesting. If anything the buttons will encourage more interaction I think.
People always moan about changes, look at the crap that is on Facebook "I don't like Timeline, I am going to close my account, neh neh neh". In the end we don't pay anything for this stuff so if the board changes, it changes in my opinion. If you had to use Facebook as it was in 2006 now you would think it looks silly and very dated. Same goes for old version of this board.
