I never liked the Inspire Pilots forum layout, just laborious to navigate the threads. Reminds me of DJI's forum. It really is hard on the eyes. The UI here and at IP is pretty and all but requires effort to see if a thread is hot or not...you have to move your mouse over to see number of pages posted...
I got the idea change was required due to load and whatever, but the UI is making work of being here... Like I'm working on the Phantom on a Buckingham Palace's dining table.... Just not happening...
FWIW, it's set up as a social media site. Great for you younger people that like that stuff. I don't tweet, FB, instagram, or google+.
Maybe to everyone's agreement, but I'll be contributing and visiting less. Good luck!
