The forum icons should be chests (gray for no new posts), and the topic icons should be buckets (with a redstone X for locked posts) like it used to be. That gave it more of a "Minecraft" feel, as opposed to the current, more generic icons.
I'm not 100% but I think it was changed due to Mojang going around and telling everyone to change their icons etc due to copyright.
Seems odd to me. Of all the things on this forum from the game, (even ignoring the fact that this is of course the Minecraft forum,) just the icons get changed?

I'm really unsure. Maybe the just changed it for a "change"

Well, I'm not against change, but I'm against change for the sake of change. (And the existing thing getting boring is a good enough/ reason in my book.) As I said in the OP, the plain block icons just look generic, and their being blocks alone doesn't really say "Minecraft," to me.
One welcome change to the new forums is that quotes can stack!

The problem is that the new icons are borderline indecipherable. Sure, the old ones were, too, but at least they had a theme consistent with the forum.
I also much prefer the old icons. As somebody had said, just because these new ones are blocks doesn't make it feel like it's Minecraft.
Agreed. The older icons were consistent and made sense with the theme. They also did not look so similar. These icons miss a lot of information at first glance, like threads which you have viewed with no change (empty bucket)

I have discovered a truly remarkable proof of this, which this margin is too small to contain.

Wait a minute.. copyright issues? This is the official Minecraft forum! Doesn't a 4j studios member have an account here too? There is even an ad for it in the loading/autosave screen occasionally on the console edition. I don't see why Mojang would have a problem. If they don't want this place using Minecraft images for it's icons then what's stopping them from banning the whole forum? This is an extremely popular Minecraft discussion forum. No copyright issues should be involved related to Minecraft.
The icons should not have been changed to ugly images that have nothing to do with Minecraft.

Lois: Together we can do anything: face any foe, overcome any obstacle.
Peter: Yeah, climb any mountain, rent any video, dial any phone. And not just our phone, Lois, other people's phones. Decent phones, God-fearing phones, phones that everybody else gave up on, but we knew better because we were a team!
Brian: What the hell are you talking about?

The Minecraftforums are owned and run by Curse and have no affiliation with Mojang at all. There are absolutely tons of different Minecraft Forums from this one to PlanetMinecraft.

With 4jstudios supporting this forum I would expect Mojang would lean towards this one. This one is the most official. It's literally called "Minecraft Forum."

I don't get why. Minecraft icons are everywhere all over the internet. Why would Mojang start restricting people from displaying the game? It's so popular.

You know with the new EULA etc etc
Very highly unlikely. I like these new forums. It's a lot faster and easier to read.
