There's not much point to building up a respected pop-culture website, if you're going to have it go horribly awry. I don't know whether the problems are because three of the site's creators and one of its more well-known recappers have all left in the last month, or whether they left because they saw where things were going, and couldn't stem the tide (possibly because of TWoP's decision to ally with Bravo?).
But yeah, I'm cranky that my favorite website is changing for the worse. The new layout (new as of yesterday, I think) is unnecessarily busy. And there are parts that don't go anywhere - don't advertise a wiki that doesn't exist yet. What's the difference between a wiki and the forums anyway? (I know the difference, btw, but for users there's no substantive difference, is all).
And for heaven's sake, I was reading a recap this morning by the increasingly unreadable Jacob, whose anger and blind prejudices aren't "without pity", but "without wit" and "without reason". Shut up, Jacob. And I took a poll on page 5, and was diverted back to page 1. Thanks, TWoP! Also - if a website tells someone they need a newer version of Flash, it's helpful (and by "helpful", I here mean "basic netiquette") to provide a link to an update.
