The only good thing is this

Also, if a post contains a quote from an ignored user, that post will be ignored.

I think this can be bypassed by deleting the post ID info that now gets added in the openning cite tag.

This site already has issues with the servers bogging down trying to get quotes to come out... and they add more database pulls. Lol

Huh?

I miss that too.

Although, with this new one, you can at least click on the username from the quote and it will show you the original numbered post at least.

It doesn't really look like reddit to me. But then again, I've barely ever used reddit.

Does it look fine? Yes.

But does it realistically improve anything in any way? No.

Does it seem like a massive waste of time they spent working on when they could have addressed actual issues that could have improved the site? Yes.

Does it feel like yet another pointless change made to ape off the most superficial aspects of sites like Reddit and Twitter, because those are popular with "the kids" and no one worth caring about has given a single fuck about GameFAQs in about a decade? Fuck yes.

The issue is that they come across like people who understand that there's a problem, but they can't understand what that problem is, so they keep flailing around and keep changing minor things that do nothing to attract new users while simultaneously annoy what users they have left.

Sure, this change is "fine", and at least this time they were clever enough to allow users to roll back to the old system in their preferences (something they don't always do when stupidly changing things), but the way things were was also "fine" - so why waste time trying to fix something that wasn't broken? Especially when they could be fixing something that is?

The real answer is, they just do this shit because it's easy to implement, and it helps them justify keeping their jobs for another few months. The actual worthwhile changes they should be making would take way too much time, effort, and resources, so they have zero effort in bothering to do those things.

It's a terrible idea, and it should never be implemented, but with the current track record we'll probably have it by next year or so regardless.

That seems very optimistic. I mean this site tries to be current but still uses a old format. It's a bit like a OAP using social media and then telling everyone about it.
