- leetcrew 5y agoI actually love the design of Craigslist. it works well enough for you to find what you're looking for (if it exists), but it does not invite you to linger afterwards.
- jcims 5y agoI have to be honest, the 'craigslist of web forums' is the entire appeal for me. It's simple, fast, low clutter and in my opinion benefits from great moderation and a general involvement from the community to avoid treating it like a gutter. I could be suffering from limited imagination, but I'm not really seeing major opportunities for improvement. Change? Yes, for sure, lots of ways to change the site but I don't know how they would result in an outcome of improved community or experience.
