Hate the changes that much?MacBoomStick

Yes. I'm not even gonna try the beta. I'll see it and vomit over it soon anyway. >_>

I'll just refer to this site as GameBomb from now on.

http://gamebomb.ru/

It still looks better than the new look, even if I can't read it. And I did look since I heard users saying they couldn't find the sports board. I can't either. Good. Now there's no reason for me to stay.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] You basically just took what I said and did the "I am rubber, you are glue" routine. Again, you accomplish nothing and make yourself look even more foolish.MacBoomStick

You might be surprised to know how people view you.....hint...not favorably.

THIS FIGHTING IS TEARING US APART!!!

It's amazing how things went from talking about the new site layout to...this.

C'mon, folks....It's like living with my relatives all over again.  Either get a room, or put that energy back where it was--on hating the new look.

Great pic for my blog, thanks! lol

Biggest problems with the beta so far:

All the posts sort of blend in to each other. Don't like that at all. There needs to be more of a substantial spacer between each individual post, like there is with the current design (i.e. where the quote and reply buttons are) instead of that little line in the beta.

It's also gonna be really hard to tell who's posting. I'd like for the usernames to be under or above the avatar somewhere, not off to right where it blends into the posts you make. That's a dumb spot for them, really dumb.

Overall not as bad as I thought it would be, but still a complete downgrade from the current. smh

D3nny plays an unhealthy amount of Football Manager. So that implies soccer. He also plays basketball pretty regularly.

Says the guy who gave me a "good day" several posts ago. I said faded in reference to the colour. You read it out of context. You failed.

It doesn't make a difference who started what, who's right or wrong---you're both acting like 10 year olds, for cryin' out loud. I would think you're both better than that.   If you wanna carry this on, do it though the PM system so as not to sidetrack the thread. Better yet...just let it go and move on, the both of you.

Is this real? Because you are one of the most active forum users or comment writers on GameSpot in the past 30 days, you are cordially invited to beta test the new GameSpot site. To get access, simply visit http://www.spacecat.gamespot.com and login with your standard GameSpot username and password. You may see a security warning screen, but please ignore this--it's just a warning that our security certificates are set up for www.gamespot.com and not spacecat.gamespot.com, and this will be fixed when we launch. If you have difficulty logging into the new site, please larka@gamespot.com Thanks!

I wouldn't say it's liveable. There's no sports board, after all... No unions, layout looks like a 5-year-old created it... Too bad there's no decent gaming forums. This was the only one I can find. :(

Really all i want now, is a way to go to the first unread post in a thread. not the very last post.

Lol they took that out for no reason. We shouldn't have go to the last post, this is going to make finding certain posts harder.

So here are a few of my impresisons of the beta:

You have to click on community to access forums

Most forum pages on this Gamespot aren't in the new one like Off Topic After Hours and such

They removed a lot of the user settings from this Gamespot

There's a Karma system and I hope it doesn't get abused:

"Try to make a thread in the new forum and see what happens. Something about a forum karma system where people can vote to ban people (and then a mod confirms or something).

  • Flagged content gains +1 karma point for the submitter and the accused. If the moderator accepts the accusor's position, their karma is reset.
  • Once a user hits +10 karma they are banned from posting.
  • Karma automatically degrades -1 karma each night."

No quick quote or quick reply

Quotes are on the side of the post for some reason, it's like looking at 2 different posts in one 1 post

It takes some getting used to the forum layout due to the design, doesn't flow as well as this Gamespot

Looks too much like GB, lol

I'm pretty sure more forums are supposed to be added overtime. And yeah, it does look too much like Giant Bomb. I wish they woudl change that a bit.

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"] Wonder if it's because I b!tched, or because they are giving them out like candy now.

They started to expand the beta group in the past 2 days. Also, they did point out that the beta site will be slower than the final one.
So does anyone actually have sigs in the beta? I don't think I've seen one.sammyjenkis898

[QUOTE="foxhound_fox"]Quit being a little b!tch and get a better internet connection. And there was always an option to turn sigs off completely, so if bandwidth usage was an issue, you wouldn't have to worry about images appearing in sigs. It was an issue brought up for no apparent reason that was completely avoidable under the current system.airshocker
