This is pathetic. I couldn't even come to OT for about a half hour because any link I clicked brought me to the sports page. I ended up needing to switch browsers to come here which works for some reason.

Every once in a while a staff member will claim that they're working on fixing glitches, but if that's actually true then it's pretty clear that their technical team sucks at their jobs. Over the past few weeks (has it been a month now?) the site hasn't gotten any easier to use. The problems are only getting worse and worse. I've never been to any forum that was half as messed up as this one.

I don't want to leave GS because I like the community here, but I think if the site stays this broken for a couple more weeks it just won't be worth the headache anymore.

I figured problems this terrible would give the staff no choice but to fix the forums. I guess that was naive of me. Maybe GS is trolling us?

Glitchspot has always had major issues as far as I know they must not have a good admin

Yeah but before they were mostly just issues that didn't allow you to post if formatting was weird or something. That's different from right now where the site is almost unusable.

Never, I enjoy the glitches to be honest. As weird as that may sound. Makes me appreciate when it's working that much more. It's become a fetish to see the errors.

in my 4+ years of posting here, never have i seen glitches like in the past recent months.

back then Bonk was one of the bad glitches that pissed everyone off. now sometimes id rather have bonk than these other glitches and sh!t.

The glitches are an integral part of the Gamespot experience. You can't be fed up with the glitches without being fed up with Gamespot itself. You can't leave Gamespot only because of the glitches. You can only leave Gamespot because of Gamespot.

The only glitch I've been encountering lately is that sometimes when I post, it will post multiple messages for some reason. Not too big of a deal to me.

Today has been an ok day in terms of glitches(relative to the general awfulness lately). Though have not been here much. Today, the forums did not load up correctly often.

When I spend more time seeing error screens and glitches than actually using the site. Like others have said, I've been here long enough that it's at the point where, barring some life changes or the scenario I said earlier, I'll keep coming back to this place.

Normally I can handle them. But the last few days the glitches have been happening more and more. It is starting to become frustrating. I don't expect them to be fixed either.

Yeah. There's always been issues and glitches but in recent weeks it's feeling like the forum is hanging by a thread. Even browsing the boards takes way too much time and way too many error screens at times, and I'd say that the vast majority of my recent posts have been accompanied with an error.
