I hope Fizzer will answer this one.

Beaocuse 1.15 coems before 2

Skunk, so far the versions have been 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, [...] 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 [...] 1.15. So this is the 15th update to version 1.

Maybe 2.0 is reserved for the AI update? ;)

But seriously, you can have endless arguments about how to do version numbering:

• There are countless ways to do it "feature based": x.0 for major improvements, x.y for minor improvements, maybe even x.y.z for bug fixes; now have fun deciding what's a "major" improvement and what's "minor")
  
• Recently "date-based" is becoming more popular: Ubuntu version 12.4 is the one released in April 2012; Firefox does that as well (even though it's less visible, they increase their version number every six weeks, usually release x.0.1 after a few days to fix some issues, I can't remember their last x.1)
  
• Just don't bother; Chrome doesn't use a version number at all any more (or, at least, it doesn't display one)
  
• You can use version numbering and product names to confuse your customers (Microsoft, I'm looking at you: Windows Vista is version 6.0, Windows 7 is version 6.1 and Windows 8 is version 6.2)

So yes, you have a point: what would be so huge to deserve becoming "WL version 2"? (A similar thing happened to the Linux kernel; they had been at version 2 for so long, in the end they ended up going to 3.0 "just to get it over with".)
On the other hand, Fizzer does seem to be very consistent in his version numbering, which I consider a big plus. And besides, does it really matter all that much; this is a website, it's not like we can choose to downgrade to a previous version or anything... Let's be practical: when do you ever refer to a WL version number?

I just noticed there's a message "Before posting, please proofread to ensure your post uses proper grammar and is free of spelling mistakes or typos." below the text box where I type this message... Now that seems to warrant updating the forum version to 2.0! ;)

Sadly, I don't think anyone will listen to it.

But thanks for the reply, Poseidon, god of the sea of letters and the flood of arguments.

Microsoft, I'm looking at you: Windows Vista is version 6.0, Windows 7 is version 6.1 and Windows 8 is version 6.2

When they updated Vista to 6.0, a bunch of programs people had written for Windows broke. They checked for "majorVersion == 5" and if it wasn't 5, they would say "We don't support this operating system" and quit.

This is one (of the many) things that hurt Vista sales. Application backwards compatibility is a big deal to Windows.

That's why they started using 6.x from then on. If the changes Microsoft makes to Windows are backwards-compatible, there's no reason to require every software company to update the version that their software checks.

For the most part, you're right. But there are some circumstances where it matters. If you open the game before the update and never refresh your browser, your client will actually be using an older version than the server.

It's much more important with the Android client, which doesn't auto-update yet. I still see people using versions that are months old since they're lazy and don't like updating :)

Do you know what I think is 2.0-worthy? The forum posts now have rounded corners instead of straight ones!
I think they should have rounded corners at the top. and straight ones at the bottom, to match the Home, Single-player, etc-tabs.

Ska is right, this thread should be about memes. If you feel so inclined to dispute site updates, make another thread about it.

My profile picture is the reaction some players have when their opponent stacks more then them in a game.

Meh, I wanted to write a post about how Windows versions are backwards compatible, but Fizzer got to it before I did, so I'll post some unfunny meme here:

Haha, that's a good one. It's funny because it's big.

You know, the 'Y' at the bottom of the picture is used instead of 'why'.

That one's not so funny because its true :(
