Petition Discussion - 700 and counting - admins too ARROGANT to listen to their public

POSTED BY: vibeone 1 year, 11 months ago

Yes there are millions of other threads. Deal with it.

Currently the petition is at 700 and counting - give or take a few due to double posts. However, still the management is too arrogant to even post an update.

Sign here: http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/125162/petition-bring-back-the-old-site-no/all/feedback/discussed/
Only sign your forum name - keep comments in this thread seperate.

I know full well that change happens. I know 'web 2.0' is the in thing. I don't even have a problem with it.

However, to remove functionality (such as the forum behaving like a forum) is beyond belief.

Please:

1) Revert to the old site over christmas and the new year, and bring the new look back WHEN ITS READY.

2) Build the standard vBulletin functionality, navigation and editor into the new site. Make the forum behave like a forum, and maintain the original deals lists and options on the front page.

That is all I request.

(This thread is for discussion on the admins refusal to comment on either the site or the 700 members who want the old site back - so we can keep discussion out of the main petition thread)

JUST MAKE IT LOOK LIKE A FORUM!!!

emmajk42:
Have you ever seen this thread - How decisions are made on HUKD.
not quite sure why you have directed us to that thread but ive just read it and basically it just further back up the point. i think the petition is unprecedented in this sites history and something that should be considered very carefully. it is all constructive criticism as all the members that have posted want it back to the old functional way for the good of the site. the setup right now will entice few new members to join. i suppose the proof is in the pudding and theoretically the 'most members ever online' should be broken over the next few days, if its not then it just sums up the petitioning members were right. the admins are just so confrontational and see this as everyone slating them and only want 'constructive critism'...the only thing thats changed is the banner was largened a bit but now seems back to normal.

ignore your user base at your peril, its obvious this change is money orientated, maybe advertising or sumit like that.
one of reasons hotdeals is so popular is because of ease of use, with everything in one place, now its a mess, they dug them selves a hole but r 2 arrogant to admit they made a mistake

I now make my protest by NOT clicking on the HUKD referral links. Instead I type the URL manually, so HUKD does not get any benefits for the link.
