Why did they get rid of the old EA Forum? This one is terrible

Honestly, haven't visited EA games forum since 1-2 years. And i remember there was an other Forum platform we used a few years ago.

Why did EA switched to this one? This platform is simply utter trash and terrible to use.

Slow as hell, always takes seconds to open up a thread or go back a step.

Notifications: It often shows the red dot next to the bell that there is a new notification, but there is nothing new, it just shows an older notification again as new.

And if i open up the notifications and see, there are several different ones which are unread, and click one one of them, it marks every other as read too.

Besides these technical issues i would love to know how populated this forum is, because it feels abandoned as hell. If I look at any game's general discussion board, i see new topics pop up all the time, but barely any of them gets a like or a reply. This place feels abandoned.

What the hell?! Who decided this was a good fit to operate a community forum? Just go back to the previous one guys.
