In all the threads I've seen on this issue, and there have been many more than just the two on EN World and Dragonavenue over the years, I've seen the vast majority were very negative about WotC's site design.I think it's plainly obvious that your fan-base and primary target market are generally avoiding the site because of it's bad design. The committee should pull their heads out of their bums and realise that what they're doing is not working and never will.The web-design team should be a separate entity not beholden to the whims of other divisions. It's there to do a vital job as a part of the corporate structure of the company. It is not an add-on, it is an integral part of the whole.Show them these threads so that they can see that change isn't something that they should probably consider, but is something that is imperative for the company to be successful. The web pages of companies are the primary access points for most people these days, and yet are often treated as little more than the dog's breakfast.First impressions count so you can only imagine how many people are being turned off D&D every single day, just by the website alone. And imagine how many voices are not being heard, simply due to the fact that they never become part of the community because of the poor design of the website.If departments other than the web team want their voices heard, then they should do it through submission to the web-team and the web-team should be the decision-makers on how to implement those voices. Currently, all we're getting is a garbled mess of people yelling at us, and so none of the voices are being heard at all by those who need to hear them.</blockquote>
