People generally get shat on when they give suggestions for improving the site. At this point everyone has accepted that it is what it is and made up reasons why it's a good thing. "It filters out the people we wouldn't want here", which is weird because we all love good design and will argue about proper implementations.
Anyhow, I haven't been around for long but it seems like there is one guy running the show that has no interest in updating this website. It's a silly side project for him. Personally, I think it's time he lets his baby fly and get a couple trusted contributors and make some changes. (Which is hard for me to say because I just wrote scrapers for the site...)
- onlyup 14y ago"It filters out the people we wouldn't want here", I got downvoted for calling this reason dumb. Maybe not the best thing to say but I really think that is a bad excuse.
- xauronx 14y agoAgreed. Really bad excuse, and since there's been like 5 posts like yours in the last month (not to mention a couple dozen apps, CSS alterations, and alternate sites for viewing it) the people who aren't content aren't just leaving. We're here because we love the articles, content and people but the website itself is kind of a disaster.
