I like OT like I like my arcades...dark, smokey and always that one annoying dude who joins your game just when you're on a roll.

It's not the quality of the character, it's the character of the quality.

Supposedly we can still make the forum black so we should still have the darkness.

that sounds vampirish

that sounds goth

This'll probably be the end of OT. It's already pretty dead here, and I've seen plenty of online communities die after a redesign no one likes. Oh well.

Good Lord that looks terrible. And where are the signatures (or banners now)?

Pirate700

Uh... Gone I guess. Think Giantbomb. Also the new TOU, no moderation leveling, seriousness of moderation does not matter, 3 mods and you are out. 2 will give you 7 says suspend, one will give you a warning. Friendly name calling will not be allowed. Calling someone out? not allowed. Going "lol"? Not allowed.

How do you know friendly name calling is now allowed? If they are going back to the old rediculously strict TOU, I don't see myself lasting long before I'm banned. lol

Neither do I and from the looks of all the negative changes, I won't be missing anything once I am banned.

Wow, that's bland and unappealing. I was planning on sticking with GS through the change, but if this is the new look I will likely change my mind.

Looks like they are trying to adapt Gamefaqs forum style which I'm definitely not a fan of. Probably rebel now but after a few months of using it, it'll probably end up growing on me just like the previous layouts gamespot had...

That's good, because you will not be missed.

Speak for yourself. Also, the new gamespot forums look very bobo, which is a word that I do not use lightly.

That sucks about the design of the site. However, I am looking forward to a harsher TOU to get out the people who have been dragging down this site.

The other day I discovered that while I was drunk one night I had tried to take the garbage out on recycle night. I realized the mistake on seeing the yellow lids on the other cans in the neighborhood, brought the trash can back up, brought the recycle bin down, and left the trash can in the yard for a few days, forgetting to put in back in the car-port. . When I finally realized what I'd done it was too late. The trash can was filled with a layer of maggots feasting on the remnants of a chicken rotisserie. I had to wrap all the contents of my trash can in a trap and throw the dripping grub infested mess into a dumpster at an apartment complex nearby.

And nothing I saw during that experience was even close to being as repulsive as this re-design.

There's no way that's real. I understand they want to do something simplistic, but.. really? I'm sure I'll get used to it, but my initial impression isn't a good one.

Really, if there's one thing they should have done, it's give us LARGER AVATARS. They're too small as it is.

Having fun? Not allowed, apparently.

Wow, that's horrendous. It's as if they didn't even try to make it look any different from GB's forums.

Hell, every poster is going to look the same now, besides the avatars and signatures. Also looks like they've reduced the avatar size as well.

[QUOTE="JML897"][QUOTE="Pirate700"]If true, it sounds like the old TOU where you'd get modded for anything. Only now you get banned for it. Is the forum not dead enough as it is now?

Pirate700

Yeah I don't understand how this is supposed to attract more people to the site. If anything it will just drive people away because they don't like it and then even more will be leave due to being banned under the new new TOU.

I just don't get the thinking behind how this site is run. Do the GS brass not get that these changes are almost unanimously hated?

is it a $$ thing?

No idea. I just can't believe they are oblivious to the fact that the forum is barely active anymore (relative to how they once were) and people hate the new changes even more. Usually when you are trying revitalize a business (which GS is), you try to give people what they want with an image people like. Neither seems to be the case with these changes and I find it hard to believe they they would be unaware of this.

And if the new site has far less bugs? I am not fond of all the changes with the new site, but I hope that it will still feel like an improvement over the current design.

Oh you mean if the new site actually FUNCTIONS? Yeah, that would be nice. Still doesn't make up for the new design looking terrible and most of the changes being almost universally hated.

I'd rather have bugs and keep this current design. The new layout looks like utter dogshit, and I'll be leaving this site if it changes to that.

.in beta you say? still plucking about in the settings are we? if perhaps this thread has the ear of anyone that might have something to do with it.

its fine, there is nothing wrong with it. it has been stated, in an offical manner, that there will be signatures. there was nothing mentioned about a change to the avatars. there is too much complaining. that will always happen though, thats what boards are for. im sure there will be no mass exodus. whineing feels good sometimes.

i like having ideas. it would be enriching to the place if: instead of people quoting people who quoted people, & so on ending up with a giant cereal box size post to serve the purpose of saying "lulz," the reply button at the edge of each post should have a better purpose. clicking reply would add a link of the user's message the reply was to in the new post's message that would lead to single post view of that original message.

______________________________________

 Repling to this guy


lulz

______________________________________

if its not asking for too much, there could be a notify to one's profile when a post of yours is replied to.

this is asking for too much. perhaps a string view when there is a volley of replies between users and to all those replying in it; seperate conversations in each thread. all posts would appear in the main thread, but a poster would access the seperate string when repling to a post in that conversation.

hmm...
