oh boy looks like there will be lots of bans issued
 
They have said they're aware of the wide screen problem. They are working hard to address the community's opinions. They are listening.
 
well, the site design is not the biggest problem imo, it's how there are almost no active posts on whatever page you go to
is it supposed to feel like a big room full of people or a enormous castle with infinite small rooms, most of which are completely empty and the others only have a few visitors?
 
there are active posts. you just have to look.
@ton.yeung lazyton
 
I imagine an average internet user would view "you have to look" as "there aren't really enough active posts" and "we can't properly figure out how to show off our content" and "we don't care about your time"
see I'm looking actually and I'm not finding anything worth looking for
 
:(
@ton.yeung :P
 
11:05 PM
but I suppose the creators are already aware of this fundamental problem with their site
 
they are
they're in the building stage.
 
just now (adam is the ceo)
just kidding
OR AM I???
@Adam link me some posts that are considered most active
at least 5 please, and from different topics preferably
as a side thing I wonder how much time it will take to find them
let's see how many comments they will have and how many of them will have something substantial to say, and not be chat-like nothings
the place looks and works like a forum, so chat stuff is not very fitting for that format
just go to slack or irc or discord for chatting
good luck having a lively talk on a forum
well, I've been there, so I think I have a good enough idea
imzy?
or irc, slack and etc?
no I'm talking about I've been to chats, forums, reddit, disqus threads and slack
so I have a good idea how they compare
like this quick discussion we're having here, just imagine how much slower it would happen on the main site
it just wouldn't happen coz it's not the suitable format
you wouldn't even stay long on the site
let's be frank you would not go for a discussion to comments
@ton.yeung comments even automatically propose to move discussions to chat
 
from my experience I'm gonna say it's going to be extremely hard to combine and maintain forum-like threads and live commenting in a single page format
people with two different mental sets approach forums and chats very differently
when in forums you spend a lot of time thinking through each response (or at least that's how it's supposed to work), in chat you just post each thought as a separate message which has its huge margins and takes up valuable screen space
these different types of posts from both groups annoy each other (commonly, not always) and it just leads to both groups leaving
 
imzy is working on making chat for communities. it's in their roadmap
 
11:17 PM
I suppose it hasn't been done because it's not convenient
it's like putting 4 different pen cartridges inside one fat pen
it works but it's kinda inconvenient
for example you only really need the blue ink one and occasionally a red, but the other two are unused and just take up space and fatten up the pen which is not as convenient to hold as if it were a separate regular pen
same with combining different types of discussion posts
you'd rather just be on a chat or just a forum
you can graft some orange branches on an apple tree but separate trees would probably be more convenient to grow
(actually I don't think you can, since citrus trees require a pretty different fertilizer mixes)
but then the harvest from both would be smaller than from separate trees coz there's only one shaft
that's what I'm saying − they may make it work but the community will probably be weird and small
you can't just infinitely graft branches onto a tree shaft and expect it to bear infinite fruit
the bandwidth is limited by the roots
we can make these tree analogies all day
I guess we'll see what happens to the site
I'm not after proving anything, I'm just sharing my thoughts on what has usually happened in my experience and what might happen
as a side note, are you growing any plants or trees?
I have some citrus bushes in pots and a few balcony tomatoes currently starting to grow a second harvest
this is all gonna take some serious window sill space when the cold times come
I can it's just my apartment is pretty small and I don't have spare money to spend on plant growing lamps
also it's all purely decorative
the tomatoes are tiny
I'll probably have some other plants in their place next year
last year was mint, the years before that it was chili peppers
idk what will be next yet
it gets huge fast and you can't drown it
hmm berries sound like a good idea
 
11:37 PM
til there's yellow raspberry
and purple
I'll just plant em in the regular plant soil in a pot and see
I'm not farming them
 
11:55 PM
@Hakase how do I invoke taisho?
 
@AdamTheChespin use #post
it autoposts after some criterias though, so don't abuse #post
 
@JNat No solution yet as far as I know. I will be testing options this weekend.
