A good thing about the new forum design is that it's actually more space-efficient than the old design when you're viewing a thread. Then they instantly ruin that again by making the design much less space-efficient when you view a subforum. And the absolute kicker? They are getting rid of thread pages. Hands down the single most retarded design choice ever made, instant dealbreaker. Do you guys know one freakin forum that doesn't use thread pages? I surely don't.

That's it for me. Time to retire and go back to the MAL forums. Fucking stupid. I really had faith in the development team to make this good, but apparently it's design > functionality to them. Too bad.

There are pros and cons.

Something I should have done years ago lol. The clubs they have probably skips a ton of the hassle and bullshit here.

its been pretty clear for a long while that the dev team doesnt care about off topic subforums and only cares about mapping/tournament/help subforums and in that case the lack or pages will not change much

It just fucks the sites functionality, makes it infinitely harder to browse through long threads. It also takes longer to load and you can accidentally trigger it by scrolling up too high, which is super dumb.

If you load too much shit, it becomes disorienting you lose your sense of where you are exactly in the thread pretty quickly, because the site you're on changes its length all the time. Try loading a bigger chunk of a thread and go back and forth a bit, it's not fun at all. You know why that never happens with thread pages? Because they're all the same length, and it's a length that you can take in without any trouble. 15 posts per page. Always. You can also easily tell how far back you went just by looking at the pagenumber.

With the new design though? Who the fuck knows. It's a mess. The best you can do is using the postnumber to navigate, but that's just super awkward in longer threads.


The only upside I can see is that you can load longer parts of conversations all at once, but that's not enough of an advantage to make up for all the shit we'd have to deal with if this garbage design gets forced on us.

MAL Clubs are great. Now if only they didn't die out so quickly..

i hate when there's no contrast in something


and this? you don't just do this, the palette is so random there is no internal satisfaction associated with looking at the ranks

What? Ofc it would have an impact in those places, why wouldn't it?

I pretty much agree with Railey overall. The dev team do care more about the design than the functionality of the users, especially as it doesn't affect them. The same happened with the new modding process with beatmaps where are lot of feedback/opinions (that aren't good ones) fall on deaf ears

Have any of you actually tried to send feedback to peppy or link him this thread? I'm pretty sure noone cares about the forums as much as OT does, so it might be a good idea to let him know. He said the new website will never be a finished product, so maybe he's willing to listen (especially concerning the infinite scrolling feature)

not only does tuuba still have thread pages, it also has selections for how many posts you have per page (´･ω･`)

also less weebs

Especially concerning the infinite scrolling feature he's definitely not willing to listen.

I mean I know he has been very stubborn in the past but lately he seems to care more about what the community (i.e. reddit) thinks, so who knows dude

Infinite scrolling did get a bit better, but still not like pages. Going by post enumeration instead of sets of 15 is weird.

well what I meant was those subforums wouldnt be affected as much, I dont think map threads often exceed 10 pages or smth and in off topic subforums u see threads that are 50-100 pages long and more

Oh my god, this is an excellent idea. 15 posts per thread, let's go.

Well, at least Tuuba Forums might become active again once the new layout gets forced.

Hah.

Idk if you were there for it, but remember what happened when Granger gave a perfectly valid, long and detailed post about unused space in the new forum design? Remember peppy's reaction?
t/376031/start=30

no thanks. Peppy is a manchild. Let him have his shitty design. Time to move on.

SPOILER
Also, peppy openly admitted to taking bribes to "look into peoples appeals". £60 for unban anyone? The staff has zero integrity. I expect nothing from them.


And besides, it's only gonna be the heavy users that are really unhappy with the new designs. They care most about functionality, after all. Everyone else? They'll love looking at something shiny and neat, probably won't even mind the infinite scrolling cancer, because they're not spending that much time on here either way.
So peppy will keep hearing from that group that the design is good, and guess who he's gonna listen to.

The design will work for the majority, so in that sense it is not a bad design. It's just really bad for us, sadly.

-Last post on a page is no longer relegated.
-Less downtime reading through a thread.
-I actually think it is faster to scroll through to find a post if you are not sure how long ago it happened. (Although search is a thing)

I've tried giving peppy feedback... his responses usually amount to something along the lines of "fuck you, I do what I like". Last time I wrote up an in-depth critique of score-v2, but the thread was deleted quite quickly.

Whoever is modding Otaku Culture now just shadow removes everything. As somebody who desperately wants that sub-forum to change this is depressing.
Fuck the mods and fuck how this forum is operated.
lo and behold, the archetypal forum moderator, these type of people are everywhere. It's stupid really, a lot of people have no discipline or self-respect and jump at the opportunity to engage in a sort of hierarchical power play even if it's something as inconsequential as a forum.

OT is good for the most part, with it being left to its own devices most of the time. Though it seems that's set to change with the new forum design. I wouldn't recommend going to Tuuba though, it's the same deal of intolerable personalities wielding moderator power.

but score-v2 won't be used, so we win anyway?

people like being edgy and push boundaries then cry about it. It becomes a joke when people complain no action is being taken "where are mods? what they are doing?", while it is a hellscape of decision making for the mods themselves. People just have different standards and thresholds. Can't satisfy all of them. This is coming from my experience being the ot!neus discord admin, not really has anything to do with tuuba, but may be applicable.

I mean of course you'd support anarchy (despite clear evidence of it being complete shit here) than some form of authority and order.
This place was a hundred times more active and lively when the kiddies didn't have the balls to post shitty threads about suicide or some other equally meaningless thing because they feared being shunned by the regulars and molested by the mod.

Won't comment on your Tuuba thing since it's clear that at this point it's far too late for you to realise anything.

I only care about the rules being enforced consistently. If I take some of these edits seriously; calling yourself a snob is offensive language and saying thicc anime girls is sexual content.

It's basically club penguin.

Maybe peppy is just overshooting backwards a bit when trying to fit in with the osu teenagers yes? Surely he's a nice guy or something in reality, deep inside, or something like that.

well you can try to keep shutting your eyes at his blatant transphobia, bullying of community members and blatant ignorance of what the community actually wants, but I have a feeling it won't work forever

How is that related to Tuuba though? I understand where you are coming from with that and I don't deny it. I haven't done any moderation in Tuuba however.

it's because you're a moderator and bird mentioned people with moderator powers, so I gave my personal honest opinion about your suitability to moderatorship
