S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Black OOC - Grinding

And those extra 30 seconds it takes to hit the '2' button to go to the next page is enough to drive some people away screaming from the boards?

Err... yes. It's something those of us who do web design or web programming (and I'm the latter) very much have to deal with -- every additional click you require is one that a certain percentage of people won't follow. You don't make things harder for the end user without a very, very good reason.

And the nonfunctional subscription page adds a lot of inconvenience to following -- and running -- PBP games.

Speaking for myself, rather than for Hero, it's just frustrating that something I've gotten used to is suddenly not functioning, and that the powers that be don't seem inclined to fix it. It makes it harder to stay up to date with all of the different games I'm involved with, which makes the whole process a little less fun. Obviously I've gotten around that frustration, but I'm sure I've missed some threads that I should be posting in as a result. I haven't chosen the response Hero did, but I can't fully fault him for doing so.

For some reason, I never did get around to subscribing to any of my games, not even when I was running a dozen at once (yes, I was insane). I'm online at least twice a day, and I kept ENWorld up and running at all times. I also had all my games in my sig post, so I'd just flip through the deck of links to see if I'm missed any updates and go from there. With as many games as I had running, a subscription alert every single time would have filled up my inbox so fast...

And now I don't even bother. I just flip through the pages, look to see what's updated, and meander on from there. Then again, I don't know if hero4hire has limited internet time or something like that. If your internet time is strictly controlled, I can see why he'd want the alerts.

 

[s@squ@tch]

I've never used the subscribed threads ability, myself. So, the change hasn't affected me.

I just have the games I'm playing in, or DM'ing in my sig thread, and use that to navigate, if they aren't on the first couple of pages.......

Its sad that people don't have the attention span to look for threads, but it is also sad that EN2 is taking so long to get running.

For spotting and chasing off the invisible man:

Sweet.

 

[s@squ@tch]

@Redclaw -- is your axe shock or keen? Also, do you have a piece of artwork for your token?

 

[Redclaw]

@ S@squ@tch-- I switched it from Shock to Keen, as without a better strength bonus, Keen doesn't make as much of a difference.

I will search for artwork for you after work today.

 

[s@squ@tch]

OK, just remember to update your character sheet and remove the shock property (you have it correctly listed as keen in your equipment section, but not in the melee/ranged section.)

 

[Redclaw]

Wow, I'm tired today.
I reversed that. I meant to say I switched it from keen to shock (see the explanation above.) I swear, this time it's final and I'll make the switch in the RG.
Sorry, I'm not usually this braindead, I swear.
