[QUOTE="Dragon Snack, post: 3590340, member: 9810"] You know, I really could care less about the name. It just DOESN'T DO ANYTHING FOR ME. Sure, it may in the future, but it's just another message board* right now. With all the "we have 'kewl' things planned for the DI, but we can't tell you" and then the release of this - I don't have much hope. It seems like there was no plan and they are playing catch up by implementing user suggestions after the fact (the legalese posted above only serves to reinforce my opinion). Why should I have to wait to see it become something 'new' and 'different'? It should have had at least partial functionality from day one. I can understand wanting to put something out there and improve on it, but it just came off as putting nothing out there and then patching stuff onto it. That makes me fear what the end result will look like, some sort of hogde-pogde of disparate ideas cobbled together into some Franken-site like monstrosity. Not that it's far from that right now, the poor color scheme is just one more nail in it for me. Let's not even start about everything being run by WotC. This is a company that doesn't allow people to talk about their own novels because people 'insulted' the authors (plus the intermittent banning of whatever the 'issue of the week' is). If this is supposed to be some sort of all inclusive, talk about anything, gathering ground for gamers, banning stuff isn't going to be very conducive to the stated goals of the site. Does WotC have the stomach to endure the grit that is sure to come? Past performance better NOT be indicative of future results... *sigh* I just can't get excited about it. *Can you search this site? I'm thinking no, since I was logged in with my Wizards account already. That's yet another strike, especially since there are only 4 apparent forums (for a website that is going to cover EVERYTHING!?). How quickly will threads get lost once they are shoved off the front page? PS - And now I have to watch Brain Candy. The funny thing is, one of my players just gave me the tape of this since he doesn't have a VHS player anymore... [/QUOTE]
