Front page wonky

This change blows, as does Morrus's attitude toward those who are complaining. This site has gone from being a community to being a store.

You might be seeing some short-term statistical anomalies (which frankly could be interpreted in a number of ways), but in the long term, changes like these hurt the site.

I have been here since '00 in diift names and reasons and
1) Anything to make it faster is a GOOD thing
2) Why in gods name would I want people who whine about a free COMMUNITY site to be in a community I hang in when they complain all the time, hell I can get that from family etc..... bitch, bitch, bitch find someplace esle that can give you as much info and knowledge and people that this site has and then go to it conform it and post the link we may join you.
Until then, up and enjoy what we have for it may not be here forever.

Sure, it may be a cool experiment to launch frogs into orbit using massdrivers, but if those massdrivers make a few nearby cities have blackouts, maybe we should... shut them down.

Man, forget buying a Community Supporter account (which my lazy self *finally* got around to the other month)... where do I send money to fund these frog-launching massdrivers?

I also never used the recent posts. I was often frustrated with the slow load times. I'm very happy to have the site loading faster. Good work Morrus!

This is absolutely for the greater good. BIG increase in performance and that helps every user of the site, every time they load a new page. Totally, TOTALLY worth the loss of a feature that frankly, I never even knew existed.

Yeah, but there's not a book big enough to write down all the things you don't know...

Yes. Do you think it's cheap to run this place? Do you realize that it isn't all about you? If the site is speeded up by eliminating a feature, then so be it. I also had stopped coming here very often because of the lag. I'm delighted that EN World, which I have been paying to support for many years, is loading faster.

And if you can't afford $20 bucks, go mow some lawns or ask your parents to up your allowance.

Buttercup,

Just to let you and all the others who feel as if not having money is a sin know; I make a good salary, however the caveat to that is I bought a house recently (In northern NJ where a house at $350,000 is cheap an probably needs work) so that my sister (who was losing her house) and her 2 children would have a place to live. The mortgage is split 65/35 (Guess which half I pay). This was a HUGE increase from the rent that my wife and I were paying, and then a new car was required a few weeks ago, and it all boils down to the fact that I do get an allowance, less that $20 a week ($100 a month) to buy books, roleplaying items, pay for my MMORPG that allows me to blow off steam, and anything else that I see that needs to be purchased. This means that $20 is a Significant output for me.

As to the surfing at work, I work in an administrative capacity. I work in a position that surfing is not frowned upon, (similar to a lot of other ENWorld users). I see no reason for the personal attacks and kindly request that they cease. I have insulted no-one, used no derogatory names, and have tried to be upbeat about this.

Thank you,
William - also known as Wystan

(P.S. I know that I said I would not post here, but the childish attacks at my funds and personal habits were dragging me down.)

it all boils down to the fact that I do get an allowance, less that $30 a week to buy books, roleplaying items, pay for my MMORPG that allows me to blow off steam, and anything else that I see that needs to be purchased. This means that $20 is a Significant output for me.

With all due respect Wystan, it means that it's 2/3 of ONE WEEK's "allowance" for your entertainment expenses that will pay for ONE YEAR of being a CS. For a service that you use nearly every day all year long, possibly for multiple hours each day. If you don't want to pay it, that's fine. LOT'S of people don't. But it hardly seems like a crippling expenditure to your entertainment budget.
