I just like this forum better because it's much more simple than the curse forums. Here I can see how many people downloaded my submissions and how many looked at them without going into some weird place in the settings. You only have a few categories here and that makes it even more simple. Skins, Texture Packs, Projects, Mods, Blogs and Servers. That's all. When I look at the Minecraft Forums I think I will need weeks to understand how it works. Here it took me like on hour. That's why I use PlanetMinecraft.

I like MCF in some ways, but for some reason it seems like half of my posts go unnoticed. I posted a server and it still hasn't got a single reply other then someone I asked to go and post....in hopes of it getting some (if any) attention. Sadly I took like 30 minutes making the post. I had colors and good formatting, posted all my plugins, and even put a banner up. Still...Nothing. Yet another server that just uses the area to let users post their username for a free rank...which is really just a basic rank, Gets 50 posts a day. They even have their own forums for that server...why not use it? I even made a post on the area where I posted my server, asking why this hasn't got a single reply, but someone else who just posted an IP address and the name of the server got 25 replies in an hour. Yet mine hasn't got a singe one, even when bumped.

It seems like if you troll or make poor posts, you get attention. I posted in the hardware section, asking about an upgrade I am wanting to do to my pc. It only has 10 views. Yet a post in the same area, about some kid (who already made another post about the same subject) has got 26 replies and 183 views. We only posted 2 hours apart. I just don't get it.

I feel like I am missing something, or maybe people can tell I am not 12 and that I am 29?

The MCF are a lot bigger than our forums, which can have its upsides and downsides. I like to think we have a more 'community' feel. Additionally, we don't make all content be posted in the forums (we have site submissions) so our forums are more focused on discussion and less on content. On the downside, I feel the MCF look more professional than our forums. Also, because they are larger, they attract more of the famous content creators than we do.

PMC is based on content - discussion is secondary.

I don't hate it. I just believe that PMC is better, they don't have content separated from forums like we do.

It's harder to get noticed on there, and the way PMC separates content from the forums is just a better setup. I don't hate them though, I use both.

Whatever way Curse coded that website makes it hate mobile devices. Almost everyone of my posts has been from a mobile device on Planet Minecraft.

Personally, I like the official minecraft forums' layout better than these forums.
Otherwise, it's still pretty good.
Anyway, I don't see why so many people hate it so much.

Are you talking about the curse forums? I've almost signed up for it, When I did some research and apparently you get trolled alot there...

I find Planet Minecraft much easier to use, as it isn't actually a forum. Well, part of it is, but you know what I mean.

It's a scattershot sort of thing. It's tough to get content noticed as it gets buried under help threads. The forum itself has the layout of quantity vs quality - it has a billion different category/forums/subforums, and it can be difficult to find where to post things.

There are probably other reasons, but those are the reasons I'm not a huge fan of it personally.
