Welcome aboard to the new arrivals!

New forum software with severely restrictive size limits on posted screen shots. (killed the screen shot competition)
Plastered their crap ads in the borders, effectively squeezing the posting space into microtype territory.
And last but not least... the straw that broke the camels back...
A new "check these radio buttons" screen when logging in labeled with some absurd demands claiming immenent domain on content and collection of data about the members in exchange for posting priveleges. Not mandatory yet, but likely will be soon.
Known in some circles as
Cranial Rectal Syndrome.
So, now not only does Ubi steal your money in exchange for a lease on their garbage software that never gets fixed, they want to steal the hard work of the modders who fix their junk and help their games sell.
Kind of like Facebook.
