[QUOTE="harry_james_pot"]Synthia posted this blog about moving union boards over to the new site. Quote "A message will be going out to Union leaders in the near future, but for those of you who may belong to unions that no longer have an active leader I implore you to comment on this blog if you wish your Union to be a part of the transfer." So everyone, go make a comment! :D

Unions are seriously getting transferred? Never thought this would happen. Figure GS would stick to their original no union plans.

So if union messages are being sent to union leaders, this means I should be getting one since I am a Leader of one.

unions aren't being brought over. they are sticking with their original idea of no unions, this is just for the unions that want to "survive" and get turned into public board with no leader or officers. they said from the beginning that they were planning on doing this.

Good, I know its likely gonna sound cold to some, but I don't think I want this union to continue to live on. This union deserves to be wiped out for reasons that I think are best not to be discussed here.

Wait I'm confused, is this what the new forum design is gonna look like for this site? It doesn't remind me of anything, but maybe that's because I've never visited sites like Giant Bomb and IGN.

looks like fuse to me. as for the union's fate, it doesn't have to be deleted. it can and most likely will cross over to the new site. if it bothers you so much that the union is around at all, then you should just leave. the resign button is just 2 clicks away from ending your torment.

Resign Button? I never noticed or saw no Resign Button, so I have no idea what you're talking about, unless you mean Log Out.

I seen that too. Pretty unbelievable. I even remember hearing the forums wouldn't look that much like Giant Bomb's forums. Why can't they keep it more unique from Giant Bomb? It's just ridiculous.

I'm really not seeing the point in this at all, this baffling lowest common denominator route strikes again and appears to just keep getting worse. Whatever happened to sticking to your own unique original ideas, instead of just trying to copy and be like some other lamer site?

The simple letter that says "I" makes your post selfish. You are just thinking about yourself, and you are not even explaining why. If it is because of you of the lie you made and you think that by erasing the union will fix it, thats really unmature.

go to your profile, then click on your unions list, and right inside of that little box that surrounds the picture and info for this union is a resign button. feel free to click on it if you are feeling so tormented by still being here.

They have the name and post count in the same line as the time stamp, which is horrible. And you also have to hover over the avatar to see the users level. :( Those 3 things should be moved under the avatar, like it is now. :(

No really its not so much that, I will say that there's at least one other reason, but I prefer leaving it at that. If it still sounds selfish though then I'm sorry, I really don't know what else to say here.

I think so, I'll say that I have much more of a problem with GS taking away unions as they are and converting them into public boards, which will cause them to lose all unique positives that cause them to stand out from regular forums.

It has been confirmed recently that former unions will not be listed in the main forums page. However, it looks like this union will need a new Leader before the new site goes live after all. It makes me wonder about that blog Synthia made.

In which type of context this is hasn't been clear. How many unions are active? If you subtract them, how many % you get? How about the users in these unions? How many % do they contribute to the site?

Looks 100% like Giant Bomb...what a pile of f***ing s***, this is the best they could do???

Where's the originality GS, did you flush it away or something? If it weren't for the GS logo on top I would seriously think it's GB, no lie. I should had known it'll have the exact same layout as soon as I seen the GB-like homepage and profile earlier.

I have said my time will decrease on here days before the changes were announced, and with these changes it'll be a lot more to being drastic even. Well, looks like I made perfect timing to decide when not to use this site much anymore because even with all the good changes there's plenty of bad ones and the main fact that I wanted to decrease my time off here anyways and these changes are helping along with a new and more strict TOU that's coming with the redesign as well.

This year alone I had joined around 10 sites that have occupied my time and more so in the future. This would also be a great time to get back into online gaming more since I was on month after month of breaks from it. GTA Online and BF4 beta next week would be a great start.

Let me get this straight: GB forum, GB layout, GB profile, nerfed sigs, removal of basic features, no fuse, no ucbs, no more new unions, transferred unions turned into typical forums which also varies in activity and new TOU to be strict again? Lol WTF?

This site has now lost me as a once active user.

I'm not too happy about the sudden enforcement on the rules either. This site isn't even worth lurking anymore, all I wanted to do was lurk around here and check some things out, and even that got me into trouble and in a bad mood. Ugh, now I hate myself for doing so, this site's getting to be a real pain in the ass, I want to leave here for good so badly, but its hard to resist, its like being addicted to cigarettes, or some annoying drug you just want to break the addiction from more than anything.

Well, don't lose hope yet guys. Obviously I can't say anything about what's happening in the beta, but things are constantly changing. It won't look like that at the end. We're all making sure to give them feedback on all the things that needs changing. :)

I do wonder when we will all get access to the beta. In any case, hopefully, it won't be looking that much like Giant Bomb.
