I wonder how long and hard work it took to do this change and it's going to be reversed less than 12 hours of it being live lol
Gaming
Entertainment & Life
News & Politics
Hangouts (for any topic)
Gotdamn that would make me want a Mentos and want to discuss Mentos
But working out on this new system works they still won't be able to see itIf they can reach one poster, just one, and get that person to sub to an ultra-niche OT, then this all will have been worth it.
Who you really should be thanking is Perfetti Van Melle for making such a wonderful product in Mentos.Freshmaker is a loaded term.
Thank god for this Mentos |OT| showing me the way.
Man I just make the monthly book thread to give people a place to talk about what they're reading on. I assure you I don't hold an egotistical pathological need to have my thread on top or even be seen. Sometimes I get 150 posts, sometimes near 300. It doesn't really matter to me man.Steps to improving your resetera browsing experience.
1) Ignore all members with the Community Resettler Tag
2) Ignore all members that created an OT, if you missed any
3) Open up a fresh pack of Mentos™ and sit back
Man why do Europeans even want to keep up with our depressing ass newsTrump better not do anything stupid while this forum is in tatters. As dumb as this may sound, this forum is (was) a great place to keep up with everything America for a European.
Just change it back, this layout stinks.
This is a joke ThreadWhy isn't this thread in the Etcetera section as well? It really should be stickied there too.
people here are weird, and talking to us can be messy sure
but there's still a lot of the same people who left Gaf
the same people who stacked that discord
i dont see this as a betrayal, or as a strike
i dont see this as the admins leading us astray
i just see leaping at the chance of progress
i just feel like
maybe more than three days warning
maybe some more wide discussion
maybe something other than this
would be warranted

The administration are clearly Home and Away fans.I can't believe you fuckers put my Neighbours thread in EtcetEra rather than Entertainment. You idiots.

ee cummings taught me well
Trump affects not just the US but the world as well.Man why do Europeans even want to keep up with our depressing ass news
It seems like it is the only feedback thread we are getting though. So it should be soliciting feedback from Etcetera as well. Until we get a more official feedback thread at least.
another depressing fact

You didn't know?Trump better not do anything stupid because only Resetera is able to tell the world what Trump has done?
On the other hand, having all of ecetera lumped into one gave total exposure for people to see topics they otherwise might've not ever seenGarbage. Happy as fuck I'm not the only one because i really want it changed.
IMO split it 3 ways. Community OT's, News/Entertainment, and Discussion.
I always hated news being mixed with "how do you wipe your ass?" type threads. This gives all types of threads good exposure (won't be a cluttered mess) and makes it easier for people to focus soley on what they want to read.
Honestly, the site's intentions don't matter that much, what matters is the end result. The end result is that this is a mess, there's no tinkering with this, forcing us to ignore dozens/hundreds of threads isn't a solution. I'm not a prominent member, but I really do suggest you reverse on this decision ASAP. You're not going to drive more traffic to the forum, you'll actually going to do the exact opposite.
No offense, but you can't really depend on the opinion of what could be a handful of bootlickers looking to validate your own opinion for a such a forum-altering change. Or egomaniacal OT creators that just want to see their own threads become more popular and always show up on page one in a "main forum."
Well, I mean... Sounds like you asked community thread leaders if they wanted community threads to be more visible :P
So you asked a very small minority of people who you assumed spoke on behalf of everyone here... and you're surprised that the change went down like the Hindenburg?
Why did you assume these people spoke for everyone else?
I do believe that you guys werent trying to separate politics from everything else, but I think (and I don't want to put words in anyone's mouth) people are concerned that separating entertainment out is likely to lead to a separation over time and lead to a natural division. Given some posters in this thread seem to be pushing for that so they don't have to listen to politics, and the general confusion on topics fitting into either forum, I don't think it's completely unwarranted.
EDIT: This is worded poorly but I'm sleepy and hope I got the point across.
No one's stopping you mate.
You didn't know?
Trump is a golem created by ResetEra mods to bring in more traffic with his antics.

Yeah, I had talked about in the announcement thread how this was just going to bury discussion and threads but I didn't realize how bad it would be with all the OTs in the front page. Half the page is just OTs and then I'm not even seeing the non-entertainment threads like before, and if I want then, I need to go to another section.I'll likely just stop looking in Entertainment/Off topic because it's just a mess of OT's. Off topic used to be a decent place to find a mixture of news, discourse, how to wipe your ass, new movie/tech etc threads.
A quick and dirty fix for the OTs clogging the the boards is apparently to ignore the OP for each one you want to go away.
Every time Trump tweets it's on BBC or Sky News. I understand not liking the layout changes this reshuffle brings about, but attempting to lead a "movement" implying Era somehow educates the world is some rich hyperbole. Nothing is stopping political topics existing either???

How are politics not going to be spoken about?
As "bad" as these changes might be a large portion of this communities reaction should lead to some self-reflection about overreacting.
