IIRC it was stated multiple times the move would not happen until the Curse forum is at least as good as our current one.
Not sure how long that's going to take, looking at the MCF's state. That newer version of the site is buggy and hasn't really changed over the many months it's been introduced.

Keep in mind we may not even get the same software as what MCF is running.

I would love to see a new, possibly FTB-approved (in other words, not a part of the 3rd party packs) Agrarian Skies-esque pack. I keep FTB around specifically for the old one.

Why does it matter whether it's FTB or third party?
I think they may mean it's on the launcher. Because some people don't want to have to look through forum threads, and find a pack code, for a pack that is AgSkies-esc...

However I would argue that around 75% of the non-launcher packs, for 1.7.10, are launcher-worthy, when compared to some of the other packs on the launcher. Of course, we aren't going to compare them to packs such as ME^4, RR2, TolkeinCraft, etc. just because those are all very well based on a story/quest.

*I say 75% because, from what I have seen, that is about the percentage which have HQM (I haven't played all of them, so I don't know how well they play, but it seems nowadays everyone wants HQM - from what I have seen around the forums)

HQM packs are not all good...I think everyone wants good HQM :p

I never played one of the lesser-known third party HQM packs but I guess it's easy to create a bad and boring quest line. So in general HQM != good pack

If peeps are looking for some HQM stuff, they need not look any further than Material Energy.

Would play that one again, maybe with a friend this time around.

When coming up with the specs for the packs that we wanted to create for 1.7, we failed to include a kitchen sink pack in our list and it is my belief now that this was a mistake
I'm so glad you have finally seen the error of your ways. at least a little. You haven't completely abandoned this crazy quests in my minecraft idiocy but at least you are getting back to the core of what makes FTB great. great stable packs that just work without quests that DO NOT BELONG in minecraft. It takes entirely to much time and effort for you guys to try to maintain for a game that isn't a RPG. I could see it if it was. but it's not and that is why I play Minecraft. when I want a RPG i play one. anyway, I'll quit shaking my cane and get down off of my soap box and let you get back to your development of great packs. and Yea it has been told to me before that I could "Just ignore" the quests" but it bugs me that it delays the release and or the update of packs when they are in them. /end rant
