This site is already out of control. It'll overtake Cubs.com as the most obnoxious site known to man, I can see it already. Literally. I can see it already.
This is a FanPost and does not necessarily reflect the views of SB Nation or Al Yellon, managing editor (unless it's a FanPost posted by Al). FanPost opinions are valued expressions of opinion by passionate and knowledgeable baseball fans.

Explain what you mean?
Why is the site out of control?

My hunch is...
....it's because our "FanPosts" have been taken over by one guy that doesn't know how to comment on the numerous other "FanPosts" about the redesign.

well there are a ton more diaries
the 300 word limit needs to be put back into effect. Not to mention we will most likely see more trolls once the SBNation blogs become in a sense one big blog where everyone can go easily from blog to blog
Live is boring until March 31st strolls by..

Yeah
I'm confused. We are obnoxious? You are obnoxious? What are you seeing? Should we call a psychiatrist? What does your "thoughtful" fanpost mean?
Damn Nutrisystem...I'm freakin dyin for some Italian beef!

You can click on actions then flag
to report Trolls, spam etc. I believe Al will get notification and can handle the situation from there.

Is anyone listening to Mike Murphy?
How does this guy have a radio show? He calls himself a Cub fan, seems like a SHEEP to me.

The site's outta control...
...so you create two unnecessary fanposts within an hour or so of each other. Talk about being part of the problem...

A little too busy for my taste
I don't mind the redesign, but it is a bit too visually busy for me. I like to keep my sites simple. It is the content that matters. I don't really care about avatars (though it didn't stop me from picking one).

Agreed 100%
Everything has an avatar.. everything has a box around it... everything is a different color.
It's like 2003 showed up and decided to use a finger paint set to create a new PHBB skin while overdosing on epilepsy medication.
The AJAX-y comment system is the only tangible improvement, though it gives you no feedback while it's doing something (which is very confusing when the site is running slow).
Everything else is an overdesigned mess.
PS I also hate that it forces me to preview before posting. Sometimes I don't want to think things through before I commit.

Okay, this made me laugh out loud.
We're still making changes, trying to move towards a site that's cleaner and easier to use. I also tend to think that some of the new stuff just takes a few days to get used to.
I'm one of the guys who built the new SB Nation. Please don't hesitate to give us feedback.

Actually
it just told me "posting" during the short pause while my comment was posting.

Really?
IF MDBNIU is really Blue Mike, he's much less obnoxious now than he was then.
by Rev Gunia on Mar 17, 2008 5:48 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
he's actually here?
I didn't think I'd seen him post, honestly.

I like it
Props to all involved, I look forward to using the new format! Looks great!

It's too bad I haven't gotten a rap yet
Noone seems to know who I am one way or another. Maybe I need to start being obnoxious :)
