the admins are not going to do anything, if they were going to, they would have done it by now. no reply, no change is indicative of only thing, no change is going to happen.

by the chk my sig follow the link and see what rohan has done, u wont need to protest, let them do what they want.

^^That was Arjun Singh's face, and it was for protest against reservation.
Around that time only,all but one(you guess who that power loving mod is!!!) went on strike and quit from the forum to get the forum upgraded to this one,vB.But the red crossing was not because of online protest.
That was very long back, I used to be a visitor back then , didnt even register an account by then i guess.

The older look was far far better, especially for slow net speed like mine one.

I don't think anything is going to be done about it by the admins atleast for some time. So, what do you do? Go ahead and do it yourself.

I don't know about you guys, but this is how the forum appears to me :D

haha this reminds me of old days when we all admins and mods had stepped down.. (I think we were on PHPBB around that time), nothing happened, someone hacked the forums and finally they decided to use vbulletin.

Some of the mods came back, some did not return (incl. me and couple of others), 2 years passed by, the same scene..

This is never gonna change :)

cheers

also feedback sucks... why have a feedback thread when they won't listen at all .. ;)

Switch to user mode while browsing the forums... I find its better than the garish red.

but i think the protest is a totaal failure.. only very few joined .. and i think i got my way out of this puzzle ... for more details look into my signature..
Thats because people already were aware of the work around for ff and opera...so they didn't bother!

Naveen, i reported you now for advertising another forum. please change your siggy. And a hacking forum, that too!

on topic, I think the forum was changed to match the thinkdigit site's theme. And THAT was changed to match 9.9's theme.

May 18, 2008 at 8:15 PM
^^ looks like you dont... you can have your personal blogs in siggies... but not other forums.

Do not post/discuss/link to anything related to hacking / warez / cracks / pornography, etc. Piracy, and anything related to it is not allowed on this forum.

This forum is not a marketing/money making tool! No Pyramid schemes, chain letters, spam, or advertising of Web sites/products will be entertained here

well,the problem I think is,after the new administration took over this forum also,the new people thought like ki "we are gonna change this forum to be very cool" :D but the n00b admins wont be getting what regular forumites want!also they may be trying to save B/W :lol:(lighter forum?).

also,chances are that the new "owner" of JB's properites is not giving proper respect to the old employee's and their ideas? :confused:

That was what I was saying some posts up. Digit was probably forced to change according to 9.9's wishes. I wouldnt be surprised if a similar movement exists in digit's offices.

and naveen, this is not the first ever online protest :)

Down with the forum look. I think Raaabo decided to do this as a revenge, 'coz Rohan showed how slack the admins were getting. So, the hot-headed admins decided to do this :mad: I want my old theme back!

HOW TO: Get old Kirsch forum theme back

what are admins doing ??/
don't they see our outrage ??/
are they thinking they could cool our eyes by making this as default for next few months .. by then our eyes would have been burnt out and i would be in jail for killing someone....

at least i got this FF extension and few tricks by genius persons here.. i somehow got the theme back...

its like fighting with fire against fire...

beat them by their game...
install adblockers
install stylish / userscript
block all the ads...

don't use thier custom search...

this way they wont get impression and search result revenue...

at least that will show them that we are more intelligent than them!!!!
