    I thought artists specific sections worked much better, as someone new can easily see where to go for an artist they like. Even if some of the sections were dead at times, it still makes things easier to find threads you might be interested.

    Also as Cy mentioned, the notifications for 3.0 are broken. I shouldn’t have to clear all.

    100% in agreement on this @Slyk

    I think the plus system was a good way to give people incentive to post without relying on a vetting process that's 100% subjective. Definitely should look into this process.

    I'm not gonna front and pretend the rep system wasn't hilarious but half the people who want it back are people who got bullied on studioleaks and want their chance to bully people back on a forum that doesn't allow exposures and be a big fish in a small pond.

    Also the internet's a vastly different place than it was back then, maybe I'm just older and less of an a------ now but I feel like forums in general are a lot less ruthless than they used to be.

    though high schoolers have never had better tools for cyberbullying than those that exist today

    a dislike button is a 2005 forum feature and def shouldn't be added if we're trying to a grow a forum into the 2020s

    I agree with the rest of your post man but i don't know about this. Unfairness and clans were part of the fun back in the days imo. s--- looked like childhood, I loved it. plus it's the internet, who really cares about losing and gaining virtual points lol. and don't worry, the sav standfields of this world will always be recognized and liked for the quality and honesty of their posts

    only thing really keeping this forum alive is Eminem. Unless there are any news related to Em, the forum is kinda dead. I'm not really sure what can be done about that since the forum was Eminem oriented from the beginning.

    Leaks, links and stuff for starters?

    Maybe a weekly thing like the quizzes Koolo used to do with a giftcard or something.
    I really enjoyed those back in the day even if I'm not good at it lol

    The plus section was pretty active for awhile though...plus people would post funny stories and stuff and Charlie would upload a bunch of music for people. It had its perks for sure

    Definitely didn’t intend for there to be an aggressive tone in any of that. My previous posts I tried sugarcoating things cause it was obvious you were feeling overwhelmed/under appreciated/hurt/irritated about criticisms being made about something you put so much time and work in. I didn’t see the need to do that at this point and tried to approach things in the exact same tone that your response to me was- straight up (“this is contradictory to this other part of your post, this is counter-intuitive, I agree with this but disagree with this, etc”). I didn’t include all the praise of the good things that I did in my previous posts because at the end of the day we are trying to get to the bottom of figuring out what is wrong and improve it, not discussing all that we do good at. I apologize if in doing so that gave it an aggressive feel, but please don’t look too much into the tone and simply view it as criticisms that are just trying to improve things.

    I understand the original purpose of the thread and thought I made it quite clear that the homepage and site navigation were two of the main deterrents of the site that needed to be fixed. You had made a post doing a side-by-side comparison claiming that you don’t understand how anyone can view the previous being better than the new version. That’s where all the small potatoes came from, because although a lot was made better, not all of it was and there could definitely be improvements. If a complete overhaul of the site was being considered, I figured the small potatoes could be addressed to help improve things just that little bit extra since changes would be being made anyways.

    There is definitely a clear line between the important stuff and the small potatoes, and I appreciate you delving into your opinions on those small potatoes as much as you did, but again, it seems you are getting the impression that I thought those minor things were “make-or-break” items of the site, to which I will reiterate that was clearly not the case. Focus on fixing the main stuff, and if you have time, in the process consider small potato improvements.

    Appreciate the breakdown and everything. The "small potatoes" were exactly that, just minor comments/suggestions that I made (which you seem to have dragged out as if they were major make-or-break suggestions).
    As far as the larger pieces you disagree with: I stand by my statements of removing the sidebar in the thread and sxn views (at the very least the thread views), while I have always supported a sidebar on the homepage. I hope my new comments clarify my reasonings a bit better for you. Part of the navigation bar issue I mentioned was addressed with the music sxn consolidation, and the removal was only a suggestion if an improved/modified version of the navigation bar couldn't be made (if we reverted back to the 2.0 homepage). I very well think we could keep it up top outside of the homepage view the way it is now, just don't know how to address the redundancy of the homepage and the navigation bar (which isn't necessarily a huge issue; just don't want it be used as a reason to support not going back to the 2.0 homepage).
