Are you not entertained? Or: let's talk about the restructuring

When the people making the decisions are the ones who don't use the site.
I'm not sure that you should be handing Ls after this catastrophic failure tbh :p
That is what I have had to do to avoid the constant anime and marvel threads before they split the forums.
Just move OT's back to community forums for each main forum and things would be great!
I agree with you at least we knew its Evilore decisions with the old site. This site not so much. No mods or admins beside Nibel share their opinions in this thread.
What's hilarious is how some mods spun it that OTs totally wouldn't take up a ton of front page space because they don't get posted in as often.
Which seemed to defeat the purpose of giving the OTs more exposure.
I mean I only found this thread because of the locked one. Call me lazy, but making this shit harder to use makes me not want to use it at all. Which is sad, because I enjoy the discussions.
Of course. They will "course correct" and bring back the hangouts section and leave Etc split in two, just as I predicted in the announcement thread.
This seems like the best solution. Too bad you're not a prominent member
It's the solution right now. The problem is most people probably won't go back to undo it.
I am surprised you actually acknowledged a post of mine so kudos! Not surprised that it was just a way to be condescending and dismissive without actually addressing anything I said there or have said about this in general.
But anyway, getting off that, is amazes me that you really are going to say that with how that thread went down, so yeah I will shake my head at it. Like I said in my later post, it's hard to believe you are being legitimate especially since you explicitly reference what I'm referring to. I can only hope
Maybe instead of "Entertainment" it should just be "Disney"? :thinking:
Do you have a UX designer/developer on your team?
Becuase this change certainly looks like you don't, or that they don't really get how to do it, because this layout is a UX nightmare...
Not saying this to be contrary or kick up a fuss, it's just a fact. Run it by a professional some time and they can list the reasons why.
Kirb, I get what you were getting at; I still think it's a somewhat inappropriate comparison considering we are talking about a forum restructuring here and there are probably better analogies than comparing it to one of the worst wars of all time.
Considering the current mob mentality in this thread I'd rather not do that? You can lash out your anger against me, the community reps might have agreed to the restructuring but shouldn't be held responsible for something that was ultimately decided by us
Am I not allowed to make lame jokes like some others here now?
I thought this place was supposed to be different
I've just done that and edited the title, but considering how fast things behind the scenes right now, I don't expect much usage of this thread
1) No
2+3) They were not "chosen", they've built small communities on their own and have been with us since the site's inception
If that's the case then you have never really bothered to approach SweetNicole or any other of us; considering I mostly know you from Hip Hop Era, I'm surprised by this. Feel free to contact her and tell her what communities you represent
No one build communities on their own they are made up of many different people. Take wrestlera or hip hop era. Sure one person may have created thread but there are plenty of members who make that Community what it is. I mean I can least count 15 maybe 20 prominent members just from wrestling era.
Brother, the age of prominent users are over, it's time for the non prominent users to RISE UP! Size the means of moderation!
Are you thinking it through? Look at the most recent 10 threads in gaming right now, it includes:
Octopath Traveler is dreadful
Is Devil May Cry 5 going to have the best combat system ever made for an action game?
The Silver Case has developed somewhat of a fan art following
Do you use the built in messaging system on consoles?
If you have a site where threads like that rise to the top, you have a site where people who want to participate in those threads use that site. If the OTs and mega threads push all that off the front page, those threads too will vanish, pushing away the users who want to participate in such threads, leading to less of those threads.
This is how "the old site" used to work until everything was changed and the community move happened, presumably in an attempt to get a lot more traffic. If that is the aim of the site, fine. But I'm much more in favour of a site that really just showcases dedicated communities and where only real/interesting news stays at the top.
Now I might be completely alone, but I think when a change like this moves us back towards the good old days happens, I need to applaud it.
You couldn't even get your real user name here, you ain't prominent.As the most prominent of all prominent members (primus inter pares), I for one, am happy they followed all of my demands.
Games/Hangouts
Ecetera/Hangouts
Disney (non-political)
EtcetEra is still covered in James Gunn and Last Jedi/Incels
Awful change imo. The first page is full of OT's that I don't care about. The main reason that I browse in etc is for see the recent news.
Really wish we could hide threads on mobile without having to ignore users. Now that's a feature that we need more than... whatever happened here.
I thought it wouldn't bother me much but now it's gonna be so harder to find lower traffic threads, which is discouraging for discussion. I use Etc for news and now it's gonna be harder to get to that.

Who could have possibly forseen this outcome.
Certainly not the thread of 30 pages of people saying it's going to be shit.
