Hey all, I just immigrated here from MacCentral, which just re-designed their site for the worst. Many users there are fleeing for their lives to other sites. You may see an influx of new users here!

Hi.
Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

Well, it's not just that the layout has changed. MacCentral was a separate news site for MacWorld, but they moved the news dept. over to the Macworld site. Navigation is hard to understand on the new site, and the old maccentral forums are buried somewhere with no links to it from the new site.

Yes.
We like to say "In before manofsteal™" if we can beat the bot.

You don't have to. Join the grammar/spelling police instead

welcome mymaclovesme

a few words of advice...don't go into the politcal/war lounge...its not worth it. try to stay away from religious threads, there are bound to piss you off somehow.
try not to spend 95% of your time and posts in the lounge. try to do a search before you post a topic or some people on here will flame you. have fun and again...welcome

I'm also an ex-MacCentraler, but I left around the time they were bought out by MacWorld a few years back.

Welcome aboard.

Yeah, watch out for religious/political threads. I don't think I've learned my lesson yet.
