So the Bump/Nest poobahs...

[flexie]

...are not answering any of the moderator's questions about the glitches in TN (which, by the way, is Cricketville). This lack of response is really a slap in the face, and I know I'm not alone in my mod irritation.

I have a feeling there's a lot of board meetings going on down at Nest HQ.

I just don't really get why they switched it up??

Lazerus, what was your old name?

to the extent that ad revenue depended on page views, someone has to care a little.

[speckledfrog]

I bet the meetings are more of the "How do we get new members" kind rather than the "How do we get our regulars back" kind.

Hey flexie, what were you and jennybeeb talkinga about (maybe last night/yesterday)- did you guys get booted from your moderator positions without knowing it or something?

I agree. There have been exoduses in the past and TN doesn't ever change anything back. There will always be new people.

No, we haven't been. It was some silly troll. The NG's are not up that late at night (EST) anyway.

[lkoenig]

well that sucks

Look at the new pages, though... the main site has ads. The message boards don't, except for 'look at this article on the main page' links. I honestly don't think they give a shit about the message boards at all anymore.

I suspect they're trying to do a cleanse of sorts. They'd love it if the boards were more cutesy-cuddly-wuddly, because it's more in line with their general Cosmo-girl view of things. So no. I think the forums are deliberately crappy. They didn't bother beta-testing the new format, because they could work out the bugs after it went live and in the bargain, get rid of what they view as undesirables.

so going back to ML would actually be sticking it to the man then.

This was asked yesterday and I never saw an answer.

[hubes]

But even if they don't want us, there is no denying that our million clicks a day probably looks good to their advertisers. I'm betting that when their revenue goes down, even if they don't change the message boards, someone's ass is grass. I'm hoping for Bump Kathleen.

I really agree with this. It's a stupid idea, but they're lack of concern about what we wanted with the change really indicates that they don't give a shit that we've given them so many page views.

CrackHabit was around on the Nest too. Did I miss something? Why do so many people seem uncomfortable about her?

Yeah I thought she was just a somewhat newb on ML that followed everyone over. Could be wrong though, I can't follow all of the name changing.

Because she wants to PM people rather than just post it. I don't think anyone has anything to worry about.

OMG ha!

I'm getting the same run-around. I've heard it works with Firefox but I'm not freakin' set up with Firefox at work. Does this mean I can't moderate during the day. Jeez.
