I liked the old forum better
I think it's been busier the past few days actually.I do not know if it was really a good idea to put all the forums together. Okay, it may be easier for the community manager. In addition, sooner or later you do not need so many of them anymore (it is amazing how enthusiastic some people are to rationalize their own workplace).
But with the exception of the "Welcome to the new forum!" Thread, there is definitely less happening here than in the old Planet Coaster Forum. Perhaps forums that specialize in a game or at least a game genre alone (like the old forum) are simply more interesting for many users, because they are easier to navigate and, above all, have the same interests.
This is just my personal opinion.

Agree ! The new one seems to be a mess ! The old one was more visual ! It seems to be better for Frontier , not for us !I liked the old forum better
There's quite a lot of off topic forum activity to mix with the others too.I'm loving the new forums. I understand what you're saying about not liking all the forums being merged, Spanky, but it seems a better system to me.
I've found myself looking at the ED and JWE threads as they're just there and I can chip in if I want to without having to create another account.
And many PC players play one or both of the other games too. It makes life so much easier for those members, I'm sure.
But above all, one of the things I love the most is Frontier's attitude about inclusion and community. And merging all the forums does this perfectly. It gives us all the chance to meet and grow bonds with other amazing Frontier community members we would never have known otherwise.
And I think that after a couple of weeks, once everyone is used to the new format and layout, we won't really notice any difference anyway.
One thing I miss now that I used all the time on the old Planet Coaster forum was the "New" search filter which list listed all new discussions based on time. That function exists here too but it seems to be Forum-wide so it also includes Elite and JWE discussions. I would like to just get it for Planet Coaster. Or am I missing a setting somewhere?

This is something we are looking into.
