What the fuck, LJ?

Ew no take it away.

Your 'new and improved' layout is crap, I can't even post a comment without it taking a billion seconds and acting like it's frozen in hell, the new 'easier' way of choosing a user icon makes me shudder and want to stick with just the default for the rest of my life.

I want my subject lines back. You kept the old ones by making them bigger bolded font at the beginning of old comments but I WANT IT BACK. The new colors are bright and annoying and I'm sure any sort of prolonged exposure to it will give me a nightmare of a headache trying to read long comment threads WHICH I CAN'T EVEN SEE RIGHT. It's like OH FLOATY BUBBLES SO PRETTY AND NEW but the old way worked and I was happy with it and I liked it and maybe it didn't look all 2011 but it was very functional and it's an older website and I loved that it reflected that while still being my favorite place to go online for socializing. Sometimes simple is better.

I seriously have never gone up in arms about ANY. SINGLE. CHANGE. you have ever implemented but this is pissing me off so much that I can't just sit back and ignore it this time. It's like you WANT us to leave so you can shut down the site or your leader is the biggest troll on earth or SOMETHING. If this was an April Fools joke, then it would be an epic one because shit is hitting the fan so hard. Your update comments have already reached like 27-28 pages as I sit here and they are all negative.

IF IT'S NOT BROKE DON'T BREAK IT.

TL;DR: DO. NOT. WANT.

And now I'm going to bed after watching the trailer for The Hobbit one last time because it is good and right and beautiful and knows how to make older things work in the current year without making the fanbase rage like hell.

WORD ON ALL OF THIS. I'VE NEVER CARED THAT MUCH ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE THEY'VE DONE EXCEPT THAT IT HAS FUCKED THE SITE UP FOR A WHILE BUT EVENTUALLY SHIT WAS FINE AGAIN BUT THIS? OMG JUST NO. WHAT IS THE POINT OF EVEN HAVING FREAKING ICONS AT THIS POINT?

[shinydinosaur.livejournal.com]

Kink memes (although I've never used them) are gonna be sooo fucked up.

RPs that go beyond like five tags are going to be pissed off. All Mafia games/comms ever are probably pissed as hell. HOW WILL WE HAVE OUR THREADS FOR VOTING AND RL STATUS AND STUFF.

SUBJECT LINES. TRIGGER WARNINGS. SPOILER WARNINGS. ALL THAT GOOD STUFF. FUCKYOU FOR TAKING IT OUT.

I may as well have my default icon and that is it. DNW. :|

[fromtheashess]

Yeah I saw a lot of noise about those. I've never used them so I have no idea.

Ughhh yes mafia games and land comms are going to be so messed up with all the threads we use in there.

YEAH SERIOUSLY. UGH. LIKE WTF ARE THEY SMOKING? SERIOUSLY.

Pretty much. I have a frack ton of icons and the extra packages expire tomorrow. If this shit stays this way I'm not renewing them.

[shinydinosaur.livejournal.com]

I've already seen friends with umpteen billion icons and umpteen billion paid RP accounts turn off auto-renew. Ugh. And here I wanted a paid acct for a little while for more icons and edit features.

[fromtheashess]

Yeah why bother when getting to them is a pain in the ass. I can't remember when my paid account expires but if people are still around I'll renew bc i like the ability to customize my layout and edit comments and no adds but i won't bother with the icons. Pointless.
