Where are the regular posters of OT ?

"Either take the blue pill, and you wake up in your bed, and you can believe whatever you want to believe. Take the red pill, and I'll see how deep this rabbit hole goes."

Because this new layout is so damn unappealing, some features that made browsing this site more streamline or seamless are no longer present, and slow server speeds is the reasons why I seldom visit this site now...

Browsing around this site feels as clunky and unintuitive as driving a big ass tank in a very bad war game....

Prolly playin' in the sewer again

I don't even remember them.

They're probably masturbating.

I'm still here, but probably not for much longer. The new site is an absolute mess, and I would prefer to have the old forums back again.

Lurking like me I assume.

If they had licensed regular forum software like vBullentin, phpBoard or IPB, the forums wouldn't have the bugs it has or be as slow as it is and would have the features we want due to being already built in instead of having to be coded one piece at a time.

I'm still here.

I can't stand how buggy and slow the new forum is, though. Really annoying.

Glad to see you're still around, man. Haven't seen you since the site change.

I'm still here but it doesn't matter because I still lurk way more than I post and nobody even knows who I am.

lol I know who you are, bro.

@Pirate700: You do?? Well hot damn! That makes it all worthwhile!

*continues to post extremely sporadically*

maybe gs will make millions licensing out the software once they patch frayed corners.

i had not visited gs for a very long time, and had the pleasure of happening back upon it just before the change over. so i could be around to play along with the new site. its not perfect but it was fun to talk about and see all the new things come into focus. there is still plenty that is looking for its traction, and i'll be glad about it when it does.

I know you megagene =P

@Pirate700: Whoa, really? :P I've been posting slow and steady. Nice to see you here, too!

I'm still here... fresh out of the hyperbolic time chamber from 2003, lol.

I really really don't like the way they alert us to new posts in a thread

Settings > Notifications

I dig it for the most part, could work out well. Less is more sometimes, I prefer the simplicity of it. The previous boards were highly antiquated anyway.

The slowness makes posting here a lot less fun.

mhm

What other things bother in new GS layout dave ? For me no privacy anymore ( everyone can see ones posts ), stacks system, picture uploadings ( you images section getting swamped with any picturues you post ) plus many others.

notifications did start coming in after a long silence, but are still sporadic for me.

Annoying really. I'd rather have the thread show which we responded in....and new posts.

Anyway indzman to answer your question about OT and regular users.....the forum is practically dead now. The threads are abysmal. No one much responds. Used to be about twenty fast moving viable threads moving and sometimes hard to keep up with all the responses. Now.....minutes....hours....days go by without responses.

The notification system is not as good as the old system that marked what threads you posted in and showed new responses.

And you missed me.....I knew it. ;)

True True :)

OT is picking up from what I seen

No it isn't Dave.

I have never seen any of you before. :P

Naw. I used to be.

lurking is bad for your health

Wouldn't it be possible to just change the look of the forums, like go back to the old look but the heep the updated interface? I think that would bring back most of the old users.

@2ndwonder:

says king of lurkers = P

J/K lol

ooo emmm geee your new sig, too cute XD

I know everyone wants to blame the site update....but in all honesty OT died before that happened.

I'll always be here, forever and ever, and ever.

I realized that I spend too much time here for my own good, so I'm paring it back. Too many ignorant trolls for my liking, too.

@WhiteKnight77: no it has. The numbers don't lie

If you two get into a massive argument....that might help. Balls in your court guys....

Today marks this accounts 10th year. Now in its 11th

I don't like that the site notifies me when I am in a quote chain when I am not actually the last quoted guy

I don't like that either. And I wish they'd implemented a quote cut off rather than fading them.

Retiring from OT at years end

Also it grays out threads where you've seen all the posts. But if you post, you have to enter the thread because it doesn't seem like you are actually seen the updated page after you post.

This place is slow and not as many people posting. If you look, the last post on the forum page was last posted in over 20 hours ago.

Let's Do something about it

Dave, until the developers of the website and forums get all the features coded and installed that were part of the old forums, it will get worse as to the number of people remaining here. Neither you nor I can do anything about it except post the bugs or lack of features in the Bug Reporting & Feedback Forum, which I do. It is the first place I visit nowadays instead of OT when I would rather just visit OT.

Aussiepet forget her password ..... rolf

Lonelynight's pc was confiscated by his ruling government

Thanks :P I love kitties =^_^=

I lost the desire to post here a long time ago. I only come back now and then because I know that's what my younger self would've wanted.

do not fear, i am here

but only for a short while, because this site layout is like bile.

They're all in a super secret OT and we're not invited.
