The Art of Sims Storytelling
Hi guys! @CathyTea and I were talking, and we thought we'd try making a thread that would be focused solely on writing, especially Sims story writing. The writers' lounge thread is great for being ...

In the long term, AHQ seems like the best place to go. It's still run by EA and, in contrast to this place, the posts there can actually be read. I've not yet returned to being active with the Sims, but I don't think things are dire yet.
Simmers are still here, so I want to continue giving feedback about how fundamentally unusable these forums are and give EA a little time to improve them. I obviously don't know what's going on internally, but some EA employees intended for these new forums to foster a community, know that the user experience here is currently atrocious/unacceptable, and want it to get better.
Honestly, I don't think the odds of this becoming an acceptable forum are great, because there appear to be some extremely hard-to-change issues with the chosen host/platform (ex. no pages), but I want to wait for a little bit (not months) and see. They can still throw the whole thing out.
Ironically, because the user experience here is so awful (the more I use this place, the more broken it seems), it also seems like the forums might fundamentally break under their own weight.
