Your Thoughts on Gamespot

I haven't seen that. It most have only been around for a very short time.

And wow, I got another level percentage boost. This time, by 22% and now I'm 18% through Level 64. Nice. I got there a bit earlier than my prediction, thanks to these boosts.

They are the level percentages.

What are these percentage boosts actually?koolkat14

You know, I was actually a bit confused by your question.

But for me, I rather just earn them the slow and hard way, it's more rewarding to me and really shows how long you've been here.

Oh and speaking of boosts, fablesway is a 71 now, used to be at 68...

I don't like boosts overall, I think it's more fair to earn levels by simplyusing the site to it's fullest, boosts are definitely fair if the level system stopped working for a while and you needed to get the percentages you missed or you did activities to earn those boosts.

But for me, I rather just earn them the slow and hard way, it's more rewarding to me and really shows how long you've been here.

[QUOTE="koolkat14"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Fastest way to get to max level.

I'm honestly more glad I would make it to the level than a simple boost that takes away what the level was meant to do. I never cared too much about levels and boosts are making it worse, fablesway getting to 71 in such a short amount of time just further proves my reasons, she joined in 2011 after all.

I see what you mean. But I personally don't mind getting the occasional boost, especially when it comes to these longer levels. But yeah, Fablesway somehow gotten more boosts or higher boosts than the rest of us for her to be where she's at, since she only joined in 2011.

I blame the site more than anything for that, it shouldn't had happened but oh well.

It's pretty shocking, considering Level 63 and 64 alone take almost two years to get through without any boosts and she's still a few months away from being here for three years.

Seems Gamespot can't do boosts properly...

I wonder if they would alter max caps in the site redesign. They should make Levels 63, 64 and 71 a bit shorter.

I don't care what they do with levels unless something goes wrong with them.

I heard that they supposed to make an announcement about the new design by the end of the year.

Still too long, I want the news now!

Yeah, I can't wait either.

Kind of funny how I'll be on here less when the redesign happens.

At this rate, it'll probably be late next year when the redesign happens.

Really? I hope not.

Well, that's just my guess. It could happen earlier.

Well lets hope for it to come earlier.

I haven't been getting that "oops" error as much lately. How about you?

Nope, mainly when I go to my posting history in contributions tab and even that's toning down as well.

Yeah, Jody mentioned that the "Oops" error should be fixed under posting history anyway.

And now I'm getting a dumb white blank page when I make certain posts, worse than Oops since most(not all remind you) posts go through, but the white blank page thing says my post never went through at all...

I haven't seen that yet, but that doesn't sound good. Did your post count still go up when your post went through when it did that?

No, it can't, and it never does because the post was never made as it'll just go to a white screen so the post count doesn't increase. It would feel weird for the post count to go up even if the post doesn't go through at all. I also tried it today and my post never made through the white screen, thus my post count doesn't increase, so it's still worse than Oops.

You must have misread my post. I asked if your post count still goes up when your post goes through when it does that gltich.

What part I got wrong? This in red is my response to the post count not going up:

"No, it can't, and it never does because the post was never made as it'll just go to a white screen so the post count doesn't increase. It would feel weird for the post count to go up even if the post doesn't go through at all. I also tried it today and my post never made through the white screen, thus my post count doesn't increase, so it's still worse than Oops."

I said my post count didn't go up twice and you somehow still asked the question. Then you also don't realize how bad this glitch is since if you knew about it you wouldn't ask me the question at all as I've said this before your 1st question:

"but the white blank page thing says my post never went through at all..."

That means my post was deleted, erased, etc. by the white blank page glitch, and your post has to count in order for the post count to increase, but the white page glitch prevents your post count from going up because it never counts the post you just made. Lets compare Bonk and Oops to this.

For Oops: Make post, get Oops, backspace and see that the post went through and so did the post count.

For Bonk: Make post, get Bonk, backspace and see that the post went through but post count didn't go up.

For white blank page glitch: Make post, get glitch, backspace and see that the post never went through thus the post count didn't go up.

So to ask me if my post count up went up when the post itself didn't even count due to the glitch confuses me a bit. You asked if my post went through and yet I said my post didn't go through at all, that right there is already proof that the part of the question shouldn't even had been asked. Know this for now on: The white blank page glitch does not allow any posts to get through, so post counts can never go up either. That's why I said it's worse than Oops and I would say it's worse than Bonk even.

Hope that clears everything up.

Yeah, but you said your post still goes through sometimes. That's why I asked that. You're confusing me here.

Huh, my posts never make it through, are you referring to this quote:

"And now I'm getting a dumb white blank page when I make certain posts, worse than Oops since most(not all remind you) posts go through, but the white blank page thing says my post never went through at all..."

Please note when I said "And now I'm getting a dumb white blank page when I make certain posts," that means when I make the post the white blank page glitch shows up before the post goes through to count as the glitch won't count that post at all, preventing them from being made, there's nothing said about the posts going through as being there after the white blank page glitch due to that glitch deleting my posts before the post gets counted. Then when I said "worse than Oops since most(not all remind you) posts go through," that's only referring to Oops not the white blank page glitch at all. And finally I said "but the white blank page thing says my post never went through at all..." meaning no matter what post I do, my post will never go through when this glitch happens.

Remember this: Once the white page glitch happens, the post will never go through at all no matter what.

Oh, nevermind, it was me who misread your post. I thought you said that your post sometimes still went through with that white page glitch. It was that "Oops" glitch that you're talking about.

I have just gotten yet another level percentage boost. This time by 9%.

I could had made that a bit more clear, but then I said "but" and talked about the white blank page glitch afterwards.

Oh wow another boost for you! I wonder what's with all these boosts.

I got Oops recently. No more white blank page glitch either.

I'm pretty sure these boosts are just glitches in of themselves.

Well, December is ending and still no more announcements about the new design.

Looks like GS is taking their time with it.

Man, Oops has been awful earlier today, appearing when I post and even browse, and I know others at SW complained about it.

I guess it's not too surprising they are taking this long.

I haven't gotten "Oops" in qutie a while now.

You are lucky, Oops was so bad that it was annoying to post let alone browse Gamespot.

And now I've actually gotten "Oops" quite a bit after posting that yesterday.

Man I do wonder when they'll get rid of the glitch, redesign seems to be the last hope.

Wow...white blank page glitch came back...

It somehow just keeps coming back. I mean, there was a thread in the Technicall Support forum where they said they were trying to fix it.

Hard to fix things properly with such code when you keep adding new things to the site.
