US v2 or US v1? Which do YOU use and why?

I looked at the v1 format and the icons for the main page look like the Obama campaign logo. Yikes! Unintentional, I presume. V-2 has the eagle.
 
Okay yup. I've been on that style forum and I hated it. Thanks MM.
I decided to check my own answer, and it looks to be wrong.

The WaybackMachine sez:

On 9/22/03 it was a vBulletin forum, version 2.3.2 and only had 8 active users.

It was at usmessageboard.com/forum and the main site page was straight html. It's actually rather comical:

US Messageboard Original Site

And because the WayBack Machine loads so slowly, here's a screenshot of the first board:

:lol:

The U.S. Message Board has a long and successful history of educating Liberals,and Muslims to see the light. We find that working with them is not only a creative end in itself but also a powerful tool for educating others in the world how to live in harmony. It frequently turns to name calling,and lies.. at the message board due to not being educated enough to offer a challengable point of view. . The U.S. Message Board also offers exciting challenges to Liberals,and Muslims to speak their mind as "freely as they wish.We believe in freedom of speech,and the freedom to be stupid."
It sounds like one of those groups that is trying to help gays become heterosexual.
I found this part even more humorous:
The U.S. Message Board is the solution for Americans wanting to take back our great country..from the ones who seek to destroy it.
And:
We're a team of every day Americans, all of whom are highly experienced with world events,and events inside our own borders as well.
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
 
V1, never liked V2.

V1 was first.

With V2, I don't like the way it displays PMs and rep stuff, with V1 it says what kind of message (rep comment, PM) while V2 just says 'notifacation'.

You should make a audio or video recording that is all distorted and old sounding that would be a spoof on old 1970s and 1980s commercials...and use that text. Like and old school USMB ad, similar to this:

I imagine it was like alot of others, and was a phpBB board at the beginning:



Then it was whatever style template they chose.

That would mean the Obama campaign copied those statusicons, since they were in use for many years!
