As bad as that omission is my main beef with the transformation is three-fold:

1) They chose NOT to import any old posts! WTF?????????

2) They chose NOT to import any of previous members account info. This means our post count & original join date are DELETED and reset to ZERO.

3) Now here is the biggest insult to injury. Now I could easily live with point #2 except for this:

If you have a forum account with OTHER Imaginova “communities” like for instance space.com or livescience.com you can stay logged in and participate on Newsarama’s new comic message boards. This means you can have a 2005 (or earlier) join date with 20,000+ post while posting on Newsarama. WTF?? Who thought THIS affront was a Good Idea?????????????

So as far as I’m concerned Imaginova ruined Newsarama. And although the new site LOOKS great it’s rapidly looking less and less like a Comic News site with the front page full of articles about non comic related movies like Kung Fu Panda. Whatever.

I will certainly miss Matt Brady, Vaneta Rogers and the gang but for now I’ll be spending more time with the competition over at Comic Book Resources.

NICE!

I also see that ComicBook Resources is also sportin’ a nice shiny new interface. It’s about time too. Their old one was startin’ to look…well…OLD.
