Whoever runs this website has absolutely no business sense whatsoever.
The GameFAQs brand was once huge.

SBAllen, or whoever... never capitalized on it.
They should have taken advantage of YouTube, Twitch etc...

North Korea have made more advancements in the past 15 years than this site.

Archiving the message boards was a huge mistake, and I will die on this hill. Sure it stopped the same repetitive questions/topics from being made over and over again, but 80-90% of people's impetus to make an account here in the first place was to ask/respond to one of those repetitive topics. At the very least, if they were going to archive the topics, they shouldn't have locked ones with lots of replies. How many people stumbled upon an interesting plot analysis topic on a board, wanted to contribute, then saw that the topic was locked and moved on?

Why do these redesigns usually feel like they were made by people who have never even used the site they're for

it doesn't just look worse, it actively takes up more space for less


Theres a part of me that thinks we peaked in terms of website design a while ago, but websites still need to redesign themselves to create an illusion of progress. They cant just say ok we nailed it, site done forever because theyll appear stagnant or whatever.

and we had acted upon the feedback received during that beta time to improve the common complaints we had received, we were fairly confident that it was at a good enough place to continue forward with the rollout as planned.

lmao this is a lie because people were posting their feedback tickets they sent in months ago with all the same things people were complaining about today

Web sites have been telling their users that "This is ugly" is not a valid criticism for site designs for years now, so I don't know what kind of feedback they're expecting to get.

Everyone that participated in the beta actively said how shit it was yet they still went ahead with it and didn't expect such large negative reaction.

what

pretty sure we'll see it again in another 3 months

you can make the new design look like the current one, it just combines the console boards at this point

beta

Who knew a 25 year old website was still in beta. Talk about being ahead of the gaming curve.
So why does it not say beta for me anymore

Please tell me that I'm missing something, and they didn't just remove the ability to select which page you want to view.

Please.

th3l3fty posted...
yes you can - that's what the back button is

there's no previous page button though
I only saw how the topic list looked because I was only around for a few minutes when this rolled out and only got back once it was gone but holy shit in what world could that possibly pass QA what a joke.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

The topic list is the least of this site's issues. That "new" design would be fine if it:
1. Was significantly wider on desktop
2. Didn't have such dated-looking navigation at the top
3. Alternated colors from one topic to the next or "framed" each topic box

In other words, it needs to look more like the current one... which, again, is fine as it is.
