I have been on this site for quite awhile and I have seen members come and go and to be honest, I never thought I would be one of those guys. I have heard many reasons for leaving, they got bored of the site, they were too busy, they found a better site, they got banned (not really leaving but yeah :P), they wanted to disconnect from the site to sort their personal issues out and a few others I don't remember off the top of my head. So what is my reasoning? This site is starting to get to the point where it is getting hard to contribute to it. I have put up with glitches in the past from Gamespot but this is getting ridiculous.

I have tried to post a single post in the Consoles Debate Union and no joke, it took 3 attempts to post and I tried 5 attempts to edit it and couldn't. Oh and it gets worse, that is just posting. Trying to even view the dam posts can be difficult. I wouldn't mind so much if it were maybe a few days, or a week... but this as been going on for more than a month at least. A WHOLE month of this:

And this:

I for one am getting sick of it.

That is my main complaint, now onto another one. The blogging used to be so much easier. All I had to do was put @yourusername: and that would ensure the commenter that not only did I read the comment, but I replied back to it as shown in a notification email. Also other bloggers did the same thing and it was nice to get a reply. Now Gamespot scrapped that and not only that, the comments on the old system are gone. Now this might not seem like a big deal to anyone else but it does for me. I consider these blogs as not only a way to share more thoughts with others, I also use this as a way to store these thoughts. A database or collection of ideas that I have had throughout the years. It is quite interesting to see how I have evolved over the time. With that said, I considered any comments made were a part of that blog. Who commented on the blog, how people reacted to the blog and how many comments the blog received are as much as important as the blog itself. But nope, GS obviously doesn't care about that and would prefer to implement an inferior commenting system no one asked for.

I am sick and tired of Gamespot treating their user base poorly. This website is unstable, the unions have been pretty much abandoned and they keep adding features that make the site worse. I have 2 months left of my semester and I am going to be busy in that time. I have better things to do then trying to perform simple tasks made hard from the poor design of this website. I am going to give them 2 months and I hope they get their act together.

I will be back though. :)
