This forum is dying, encore

[MrSquished]

More proof of this ongoing demise

 

[pcslookout]

All forums are dying.

can't understand why. the mobile experience is *chef's kiss*

 

[WelshBloke]

I just always use the "new posts" bit. It's like getting rid of the sub forums and lumping everything into one. Makes things look a bit busier!

With Reddit about to absolutely nuke their community by effectively banning 3rd party apps on July 1st, old school forums like AT should be hopefully get a little bit of a booster shot of folks leaving the site.

I've been mentioning AT (and vBulletin based forums in general) when I can in those discussions on Reddit.

As soon as Bacon Reader gets shut down, my primary method of interacting with Reddit will go away. The site is pure cancer on a mobile browser and their app is pure garbage, so no BR, no reddit for me personally and likely a lot of other users there.

Oh yeah, no NSFW content even if 3rd party apps can somehow cough up the millions of dollars to license the API...

Its like someone at Reddit is being paid off to drive down the buyout price.

While the mobile experience is horrible, what kind of useless resolution was that screenshot taken with? I think I've had 30% more horizontal resolution since the year 2011 (Samsung Galaxy Nexus).

Yeah I've been seeing a few of my Reddit communities posting about going dark for two days and after reading about it I posted how I fully support them.

Greedy pigs.

we're staying on topic here - the screenshot compressed by the forum software. I mean the fact that we can attach files at all is progress I guess.

I don't see any ads with my mobile experience. Seems like user error.

Nooo! This is a local forum for local people! We'll have no trouble here!



Good luck getting that reference!

Same. I'm just using stock mobile Chrome browser and never see ads here.

maybe they'll disappear after I get a couple more posts

 

[nakedfrog]

Ew, you leave the sidebars on? BOTH of them? I'm not normally one to kink shame, but between this and wanting 3 Gizmo J threads at the same time... you might want to see what help is available

You'll get there one day.

What if one was born in 1994?

Erm .... this IS the "off-topic" forum no?

 

[Captante]

Depends on screen-size ... I daily-drive a 38-inch UW and even with both sidebars maxed out it's pretty close to a 16:9 32 inch display... I barely notice.

Having said that I would never leave more than the right-sidebar active on an actual 16:9 screen. (or if using my UW in split-screen mode)

They provide no value to me and I think they're visually terrible from a clutter perspective, so away they goes!

 

[MrSquished]

I have a 4K 32" 16:9 screen currently as my primary. Hard to notice.

 

[Captante]

Again agreed .... if you see them. (if not do they even exist??)

Truth is this screen-size isn't fully useful unless watching "cinematic" 21:9 video or gaming. (or split/windowed screen)

I'm definitely curious to see how this whole thing plays out. Seeing a ton of subs joining the black-out, and it's in discussion for many others.

Reddit's a pretty shit site anyway. It's a bunch of 4channers that think they're too sophisticated for 4chan. I browse, and seldom interact. Once 3rd party clients are done, I'll be done on my phone, and when they kill old.reddit, I'll be out completely.

Depends on the subreddit, lots of them are good and not as you describe. I mean, there's nearly 3 million subreddits apparently...
