So far the Giant Bomb forums are not in a style that I have ever seen before, but personally I really like it like this.
You can view all new topics easily without having to trawl around the place, and you can get all the new topics from your favourite forums easily.

When forum signatures are added, there going to be even better!

It's really nice - I do use a custom stylesheet to hide the avatars and post times from the forum index though - to keep it more compact.

I think they're all right, although I need to get around to subscribing to all the pages whose forums I want to monitor.

I like it, nice and easy to read and it's minimalistic. I hate forums where there's post count, location, gamer cards, wii codes, ps3 names and a whole load of other junk under their name because it just takes up space and looks ugly.

Yer it's very nice, it did take some getting used to but once you've used it for a bit everything makes sense.

I'm glad they decided not to use sigs, those stupid images do nothing but make browsing the forum slower, I usually just end up blocking them.

i think that it must be categorised to sections for better browsing.

Sure - I'm using Firefox - so if you are too, you need the extension 'Stylish'.
Once you've installed that, click the Stylish icon on the bottom right of your Firefox status bar, and click Manage Styles.
Create a new style with the following code:

@-moz-document domain(giantbomb.com) {
.t-topics .w-30 { display: none; visibility: hidden; }
.t-topics .f-10 { display: none; visibility: hidden; }
.t-topics div.big-number { background: none !important; border: 0 !important; font-size: 12px !important; }
}

This can be done in almost any other browser, so let me know if you want instructions for anything else.

At first I was sort on the fence about it, but now I really like it. You know exactly where to go when you want to discuss something, and you don't need to worry about something going unnoticed as it'll appear in the Newest Topics section.

I like the community, the organization though, not so much.  I'd like it to have a better organized favorites, which shows me a list of direct links to my fav forums, rather than a favoritized version of the mish mash front page we have now.  I have to do a good bit more clicking getting from forum to forum now.  It's a minor annoyance though.
