Your Thoughts on Gamespot

I seen you mentioning another user made a huge jump in SCU the other day. You honestly don't remember? Oh, I know who Fablesway is. I haven't realized she made such a huge jump in levels until now. But wow, I really wonder how that happened.

Well, on this page, you mentioned someone went from Level 38 to Level 63. That's what I was talking about. I'm assuming that was Fablesway you were referring to?TAMKFan

Yep, I should had said that earlier.

I really need to focus on getting directly to the point, but it's hard with my memory. 

So, 2ndWonder told me he thinks the ToU will change again when the site gets the new design. Hopefully, it'll be like the old one.TAMKFan

Man I'm getting tired of posts not going through, really annoying if you have something big typed up and it also slows down posting. This affects blogs as well.

And wow, what a glitch:

Oh my goodness...that PM glitch strikes again!

Yep, the PMs you sent me earlier has only shown up on my inbox like 7+ hours later.

That is so annoying! 

Wow, that's still happening? Pretty annoying indeed.

And now my avatar isn't appearing. Same with several other users.

Looks like the glitches decided to return. We had a nice run without them briefly. :PNoteldnep

At this rate, it'll probably stay around until GS gets that new design.TAMKFan

Anything can happen, experience is always needed for this.

Also, Gamespot is glitching unions again by not allowing access with old layout and only forcing you to use the new layout again, I don't know why but it seems like using the new layout will cause less problems than the old one due to the glitches.

Sadly, this union glitch will probably stay around for a while too. Also, if not for all the glitches, I wonder how active SCu would be now.

Looks like SCU will be still barely active nowadays. Man it's time to compare it to Spring 2011 again!

This glitch is also killing unions in some ways.

Isn't SCU even less active now than it was in Spring 2011?

And GameSpot in general, for that matter. Hopefully, things will change.

That dumb union glitch really killed some activity in unions like Randomness.

Yeah, I've noticed the activity loss in there within the past few days. It seems that some people haven't realized that union forums still work with the new layout.

While it doesn't hurt to try, they(those who run the site) should tell them about unions being able to work with new layout.

You mean like having the new design apply to unions? Hopefully, that'll happen or else unions may not work at all then.

It has to apply to them or else they could kill unions and we don't want that to happen.

Knowing Gamespot, they'll do what they want and we have to live with it.

Well, anyway, I'm assuming they will try to get our post counts and levels, at least.

I don't trust them until I see it.

In any case, they should have done a redesign years ago, before the glitches got this bad. Things like "Bonk" and Oops" could have been prevented in the first place if that happened.

They probably never knew the glitches would get this bad so it seems they didn't bother to redesign it because of the "It can't get any worse" mentality.

Yeah, probably not. But even back then, GS did have a reputation for being a glitchy site. I'm sure you remember people complaining about it back in the day too, right?

Yeah, like in 2010, don't forget that I wasn't as active in 2006-2009 as much as I was 2010+ so it's going to be even harder for me to remember what happened back then, along with me taking months off the site.

I can remember complaints about the glitches as far back as 2006. Really, they should have fixed things back then, instead of holding off, as the glitches got worse.

In the past I just went on without caring about them but once I decided to post a lot more they start to get worse and it bothers me a lot more.

Gamespot could had, but of course, the "It can't get any worse" mentality went into play, or else they would had fixed it by now.

Yeah, that's probably what happened and thanks to that, we now suffer through "Bonk" and "Oops" and stuff. This is one thing that makes me wish I was on GS more in some of the previous years.

It doesn't make any sense for this site to be so glitchy. Probably the glitchiest site of all time! Sometimes I really do wonder how this site is coded.

Yeah, I honestly haven't seen a site glitchier than this one either.

I've been on sites that had glitches, but GS of course takes the cake for the most.

Apparently, they are trying to fix the "Oops" error now, according to a thread about it in the Technical Support forum.
