Are they seriously still going to change to this layout? After reading the responses in this thread, you'd think having almost the entire community being this upset would elicit some kind of change. chrisrooR
See, that would make sense. But we are talking about Gamespot here. They pay Carloyn Petit to write op-ed piec... I mean game reviews.

Yeah. There are times when a company really needs to listen to its consumers. This is one of those times. In fact, I remember last year when Netflix had announced dividing its services between websites. What happened? So many people complained they scrapped the idea altogether. Today, the people are complaining and threatening to leave (much like with Netflix last year). It's time to listen.

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

NationProtector

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.

This is a step backwards. Damn.

You got it,and as much as I hate how it looked like,I would use this site less often,since they don the NSAesque surveillance to our private diaries.I don't want them to do that to bloggers,it's our opinion,don't they accept these? it's like those poor people who got caught in the warzone and demanded freedom,yet the war criminal did not let them go.

looks ok but it does not need a speech bubble and white background.

I hate white spacing design language, it is over used and too simplistic to show some sophistication.

I hope the new layout has the optional black layout.

So far the only positive thing I have read is the misguided belief that this new design will be less buggy. As others have pointed out, that is preposterous. But the problem I have with that thought is you are missing the fact that the community will have less bugs because it will have less features - I'd rather have all of the features that has made this one of the best communities on the net since the beginning, along with the plethora of glitches which have invariably came with it, than to throw all of that away to conform to 'simplistic' trends in community design. The only explanation they have given for this is that they looked into redesigning unions and whatnot and decided that since there was very little of the site's overall traffic going to it, to sink the ship entirely. I still stand for returning the pre-2005 blue and ice forums which really were a sort of trademark of GS. Do what's right by the site's CMS, but why does that lead to destroying the forums?

I just hope they make it so that I don't have to scroll to the bottom or the top of a thread to post a reply. I like the fact that now we have a quick reply function that enables me to simply post my reply at any time without loading a new page so I can continue to read a refer back to previous posts. This feature better not go away. But knowing gamespot it's as good as gone.

[QUOTE="SNIPER4321"]Exact same reason why i left Gametrailers.com because the crap they did to their site. now gamespot is also repeating same mistakes. hopefully im wrong and they will make different than screenshot...

If this gets SNIPER to leave GS then maybe we've been too harsh on these changes.

Looks a lot like other sites I've seen. Last.fm? Or a comic book website? Idr.

This is a 2 weeks old screenshot, and in betas things keep changing. Wait until you see the final design before freaking out.

If it's anything even remotely close to the design in the OP I think it's going to be widely hated.

Did they simply paste the giantbomb forum code? I figured it would look similar, but god damn there's barely any change at all. Looks dreadful.

there's no way it'd stray far from that concept image. it's pretty clear they want to make a major change.

Damn....i'm not sure where else there would be to go if Gamespot craps out. IGN has terrible forums, Giantbombs sucks, it's a wasteland now.

I have no issue with change if it isn't complete shit (IMO of course).

it said there. that its all from game page comments. he did say that it would be similar but all the posts he shows in the video are from distinct game pages. it doesnt look much different from how it is now. he did say there would be a dark theme too. everyone be at peace.

it may be that all the vessels are not connected yet, but being that all the images are replaced with something specific makes it sure seem that he is using an ad client. i wonder how official gamespot noggins feel about that, in an official video. maybe that is how it has to be, given that video has a chance at staying up for a while and ad subs run out.

Because GS used to have a very unique community; every time they redesign it the design is an imitation of something else. This current one was made to be like TV.com and MP3.com. New one not only looks like every other bland forum on the net, they are also getting rid of UCBs, Unions, among other things.

I love how they don't even give any consideration to the people who actually use the forums.
