HEY I GOT A WILD IDEA.

Why don't we switch back to the old system for a week? And THEN vote again.

(Desperate plea for the old system is desperate, but a part of me really does feel like too many people just don't care enough to remember how much better the old system was. Plus, part of me is hoping that techophile will go, "o wait, this is SO much less work" and we'll be shot of this new system for good.)

I DID USE TO SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD TO SAY. I USED TO DO IT *MORE*. I used to read far, far more comments because they were *easier to read*. But it takes too much time now. It's not worth it.

This is an entirely unhelpful comment. But I was reading what you were saying about the lag, and wondering what you meant by it because I haven't noticed an appreciable difference. Then I realised this is because it always takes a good four to five minutes plus several reloads for me to load a new F!S post with all its images, and the best part of a minute to reload for each comment page. For me the new system is a godsend.

Obviously, the fact that there are people worse off isn't actually any help to your annoyance with the lag, because you're used to decent speeds. But if it cheers you up at all, imagine those of us in countries with rubbish Internet weeping over the 126k loading speed. :)

Whoa there, no need to go caps lock crazy... the comment says "some people" who hate the new system, not you specifically.

I think it is worth it though, the long wait. It takes a while for comments to load for me too and the images, but I prefer it over the other way by far.

I appreciate the sentiment

Only thing is... you've totally just defanged my argument now. I was gonna shut up about this pretty soon anyway, but yeah, if this new system actually causes you LESS lag, then I've got no more right to complain. Likely shutting up now. :)

I used the caps because I was tired and it was easier than doing . No actual anger intended.

I really like the new system much more. It's saving me the time of searching through 15+ pages of comments to find threads relevant to the one or two secrets I'm actually interested in, especially since I usually ran across 10+ copies of the same comment: "OMG [fandom x]!!" or "You're so wrong." or something equally generic. So instead of ctrl+f'ing over and over again, I only have to do it on three pages (or fewer, if the secrets I'm interested in are concentrated).

I do agree that the new system feels — and is — less random than the old one, but really... I'd rather have a few concentrated, interesting, on-topic conversations that I can find than multiple, spaced out, interesting, not-always-on-topic conversations. Personal preference, of course. [/$.02]

I love the new system because it does not promote big name commenting and gives everyone a fairer chance because conversations are now centered around the actual secrets instead of the person commenting.

Late for the poll, but I knew everyone would love this new system 'oh so much'. But I still can't understand why *sigh*
