BKF new feature - Experience for points/levels/ratings

[Pandora]

Huh? Cinderella? My daughter's Halloween costume...what? Seriously confused.

"Wow....I feel like my old self again. Not sure I like the old rags now that I see them on me again...remind me of my pre-bk filing days...ugh! ..."

you know.. Cinderella... rags to jewels then back to rags?

never mind.....

I feel pushed out and "reprimanded" for posting too much and liking the new features.

Anyway, the web is a big place..... we can all find places where we feel comfortable.

I don't like that time stamps are now missing from posts. It'll be harder to see how up-to-date information is when reading through long threads.

Anyhow, let me make a couple points clear.

I agree with Hub in that all the bells and whistles to a degree detracted from the functionality of the forum due to some posters attempting to gobble up points (see, Thanksgiving coming up, inserted slick turkey reference..hehe).

I also agree that the meters and the what the heck nots did make the joint a bit more colorful.

Bottom line, I'm not necessarily in either camp unless conditions determine that action may be necessary, such as too many point gobblers causing thie site's functionality to extinguish itself. But that has not happened, thankfully.

I'm just happy the forum's here.

Well - early on I was one of those "complainers" (although I wouldnt really say I "complained") that said I didnt care for the new format in Laz's org. post - but... eh - it grew on me.

No one will ever be totally content with how things look, you're always going to have those that liked the old format, and those that liked the new format. Ultimately its up to Laz on how he wants to do it - but I'd hate to see anyone leave over a formatting technicality.

i agree...and none of us can actually see how it effected the actual stats of the site.

I really dislike the fact that a few vocal complainers ruined the experience for the rest of us.

What was the harm in the new features? I know it made me feel more like participating.....

Anyway, I will answer the occasional question, but clearly the complainers do not want this forum to be social (like facebook is) and I was putting my energy in the wrong place.

Have fun.

ciao

Don't worry I won't be as vocal so there won't be any need to duct tape me.

There are plenty of forums that appreciate frequent posters and where the members understand that social features add to the experience.
