Just wondering.Boards like here & Marvel's boards(when they were up)have a more updated & fresher look.For example:all the different smilies you can use,new user welcomes & such.These make a board more enjoyable & I was wondering if any plans were in the works for DC's boards to get a little more updated?
Thanks

eh, sometimes there are plans, sometimes there are not.

changes to the dc boards are a lot more fragile than changes anywhere else, even forums as large as marvels. just before closing, they were balancing at around 6,000 members. dc now has 35,000. upgrading the boards means making changes to, in just the member section, 35,000 files. not fun, quick, nor easy.

add that to the fact that dc is owned by warner bros, wb is owned by time, time is owned by time life, and time life is owned by aol, and, you got yerself a LOOOOOOT o' checks n'balances. anytime you wanna change something, it needs the approval of 30 somethings.

no fun.
