Checked out gaming side on Gaf and found some obvious troll idiot who makes terrible threads, rarely replies to anyone other than to be a jackass, etc and was confused why the person isn’t banned then I noticed their gold username lol
Which was always propositioned as "you'll be able to buy a gold subscription but it won't reflect in your username/info so as to keep things even keel and not create favouritism etc."
On top of that, the forum is so fucking ugly now. The stupid "tags", the "gold" threads, the 25 "tabs" in the navigation that literally needs a scroll arrow, why is "Merch" some off-white colour different than the rest of the links?
And then you go into a thread and people are using the @<user> which creates a hover-effect if you mouse over it, and the @<console> so you can, um... see a wikipedia entry for said console?
You can really tell Tyler took over the visual design and tried to pack a bunch of ugly, useless features into the site to try to stand out.
