It seems that posters on this thread have different opinions. It's a business when they are justifying the new changes that increase ad impressions and it's a community when it comes to offering blunt feedback without the requisite tact.Personally, I regard ENWorld as a highly informative blog fueled by the web site administrators and community at large (via scoops). Moreover, the vast majority of visitors who come to this blog value the convenience with which new gaming information is disseminated to them (I daresay, above every other service that is offered). One page scrolling. It can't be more easy! They come here so they don't have to click on multiple other links to feel well informed. Their lives are busy too after all.Fast forward. It's present day, 2 1/2 years after collecting community membership fees and ad impression revenue, and whatever other income I don't know about that this web site generates, and the community at large is rewarded for their loyalty by having that convenient information diffused across multiple pages within [as of this moment] 11 boxes. Boxes that in some cases require tiny little scroll bars to read the entire message.You know, to be more like Yahoo or Google News (minus the tiny little scroll bars).I'm sorry that I didn't have anything nice to say about the redesign, but that's because I saw and continue to see absolutely no merit in the changes that were made. That said, my initial post didn't attack anyone's character, didn't wag fingers at anyone in particular, and didn't place blame squarely on the shoulders of any one person. I addressed the content, albeit without restraint and without sprinkling any sugar on top. I should have known better. Everybody likes a little sugar. I know that I do.(Aside to Michael: That sugar comment was meant to lighten the mood.
