I posted the previous thread and then was banned from responding to negtive comments from the ancient moderators who contol this site. It's very typical behavior of people who are scared of change.
Initial Observations:
1. Basic Spelling: The basic topic group of "Foot Ware" is spelled "Footware": A spellcheck is desperately needed. But I'm sure the moderators already knew this.
2. Responding to Comments: Users post commments then don't know which threads have been responded to. It's demotivating to have to remember which thread users were commenting on, which at times are multiple.
3. Outdated Site: This site reminds me of Instant Messaging from the 80's. I'm not complaining about the content, but the UX design is archaic.
4. Website UX Expereince: Thread categories need to be bettter organized to improve UX.
I was a UX consultant for awhile (B2B, B2C), helped design sites (front end) and utilized research to improve UX using demographic data, meta-analysis, mixed-method research, benchmarking, etc. My comments on threads (and creation of threads) have been a breath of fresh air in this stagnant pool of murky water. I've also kept an eye on who responds and who doesn't. This site is obviously highly-controlled, and apparently for unknown reasons. I actually wonder if Whiteblaze.net a honey pot for law enforcement because some of the threads are highly innapropriate and out of context. And yes, I'm aware of sites that do this and there are technical reasons why the UX is kept bare bones.
Regardless, All Good Deeds Go Unpunished as they say. This is another typical case of, "It's how our fathers did it. It's how Our grandfathers did it. And by golly, it's how we do it because it's the American Way."
Unfortunately, it's the movers, shakers and disruptors who move the world forward.
I'm not concerend about going along with the good ol boys. When technology is available to make our lives easier, let's do it. And if you don't know how, then move aside and let smart people do it for you.
It's the newest users who will always be able to point out the most problematic aspects of a design because they're the ones who are noticing cognitive/logical discrepencies for the first time.
I look forward to being banned form responding to this thread as well including being banned from the site.
Since I received a number of mean commments last time from specific senior moderators, here's my less than polite rebutle to them:
This site reminds me of the old strtched out whitey tighty underwear that grandfathers wear with holes in the waist band and yellow stains/skid marks in the crotch. They refuse to buy new ones
because they "fit well" and they have no one to impress anymore.
Wake up (and get it up:banana) Grandpas because it seems like your low testosterone levels are resulting in man boobs.:eek: :eek:
