[QUOTE="Archangel, post: 269299, member: 4537"] uh...uh...wow. I am afraid to offend now, but anyway... I would like to say that 3 layers is probably a good guideline. I know that some of the flexibility and options may be lost, but most people in the world these days are fairly busy and already bombarded by work, family, medie, hobbies, etc. Too many layers or too much complexity and it will take a person longer to get to the content they want. When that happens, hard decisions may have to be made and well a functional vehicle that everyone can use is probably more necessary than a luxury vehicle that only a few have the time or gumption to use. More bells and whistles are not always better when only used by 10% of the community. Another thing - Reapersaurus obviously thought that you had extra assistance with the site. His opinions on this subject, while blunt and misinformed were asked for (as were the rest of ours). I would feel bad enough had I made that mistake and been corrected in a polite way, let alone being told in the tone that was taken (the use of exclamation marks and the wording looked an awful like like you were offended and lashed out). As Furn_Darkside is fond of saying (usually as an apology for a perceived harsh response) - tone is lost on the boards, but that still seemed somewhat harsh (I've seen worse). I do not know how you are taking our opinions or if it is what you expected, but don't make us feel bad for giving them. P.S. - I am not defending Reapersaurus (heck dinosaurs with scythes can probably defend themselves), but am instead defending myself and others who have made misinformed statements and feel bad enough without having to be scolded.
