It is also my first impression that this forum is out of date. When my browser warned me about the unsecure connection, I double checked that this was in fact the official site. Very curios why this forum still remains in this shape, when the front page is so well made with all the sleek advertising and technical prowess that you only see in big projects. The game certainly would deserve a forum overhaul, and I believe it would also be very helpful if the forums are structured more specifically, keep in mind that this is my first impression, it seems that the discussion areas are big "catch all" bins, and if the developers are serious about taking our feedback, then this makes it more difficult for them to find specific feedback or ideas.
The forums are due for a major upgrade at some point in the future but I don't have a timescale available at present. https is a known issue and discussed a few posts back; to reiterate, it is being worked on and undergoing testing; it will be rolled out soon. The forum structure is currently under review and that and the look-and-feel will be determined by publishing, but their priorities have been elsewhere recently. I may work on a refreshed skin/theme myself, but as a volunteer sysadmin my artistic skills are less good.
Feedback will be assessed and reviewed, as will technical issues, though it is certainly rather busy at present.
