Keep parts, change parts (see comments): what do you think?

Granted I was Lurky McLurker for months until like four days ago so IDK what my opinion's worth

I kind of like the system that's developed in the last week of having the individual comment threads for each secret, but then there's that handful of people on the last two pages who rock out with their bad selves and just post comments without looking for the threads.

I like the comment system. I can easily find the posts I want to comment on without ten pages of Ctrl+F, plus it cuts down on the number of "What series is this again?" posts. If folks wanna rock out on last pages, I say go for it. Even searching two pages for extra comments is better than searching 10.

[sophie-kaijuu.livejournal.com]

Keep the new system! The people who don't like it post the old way anyway. I think it's much more organized. I also love that I don't have to scroll up to remember what secret was what number. 8D

This is just my opinion~

[erinptah]

Here's a thought:

If you're going to link the secret images in the comment threads anyway, why not skip having them in the post altogether, and just put the images themselves in comments?

Might cut down on the "last two pages of fighting-the-power" phenomenon. (I keep almost posting a comment with all my responses, i.e. working with the old system, just because I forget the individual threads are there.)

Maybe test it for a week, see if it works in practice?

[morlockiness.livejournal.com]

Just a Q about the new system. If we have a comment about the secrets in general, like maybe how we enjoy there are a lot of secrets about a particular fandom, could we still just comment that on the post? Or maybe there should be a thread for general comments?

[van.livejournal.com]

IAWTC.

[rah-bop.livejournal.com]

T-there already is a thread for general comments. It's right under "Name the fandom" and before the other comments.

[morlockiness.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you!

[parametric.livejournal.com]

Personally I don't think that's the best idea, simply because it seems kind of inconvenient. I mean, I don't want to have to click through some-odd pages of this stuff if I'm probably not going to comment on it - and keeping all the secrets in the actual post makes it easy to check back and see which other secrets you meant to comment on.

[case]

The links are just there for people who forget what secret number is for which secret, really.

I think most people like to just to scroll through all of them before posting comments anyway (all the people not using the new system would still do it, right) -- and having them in the post makes it easier for people to go through and re-find a secret without flipping back and forth through comment pages, too.

[fenm.livejournal.com]

Agreed on all counts. And frankly, I'd say that given how much the new system cuts down on page numbers, that alone makes it worth while.

[ayeayes.livejournal.com]

Please please please, tell me you're joking :|

[mastersparktion.livejournal.com]

I keep forgetting not to fill out polls with my RP account...

Anyway, I was skeptical, but this system totally works way better than I'd expected. If people want to see some adjustments I don't see any problem with experimenting a bit, though. And kudos to you for taking on all this extra effort.

[pimmy.livejournal.com]

Just out of pure curiosity, what do you are the downsides?

[byrons-brain.livejournal.com]

I love the new system, it saves a lot of time finding comments to your favourite secrets...

[http://users.livejournal.com/nightcrawler_2_/]

New system = awesome.

[zanzou-chan.livejournal.com]

8( The new system has saved me so much time over the last week, with all the same satisfaction of reading/commenting. Just without the stress of 10 PAGES ARGH.

[callmejude.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I keep forgetting that we've changed the system, myself...

[(Anonymous)]

I personally really hate the new system, although I know I'm the minority here. I mostly reply to F!S secrets for some conversation & the lulz, basically. Making me look up all secret posts and having to comment them seperately just proves to be more effort than I'm willing to put in. I tried, but damn, it's just really obnoxious.

Plus, it seems to be much harder to make some random conversation! I've seen a few, but mostly it's just people replying to the secrets itself.

[springandsummer.livejournal.com]

While I'm definitely in favor of the new comment system, one possible downside could be,

"LOL, I like what pimmy_pim said about 105. I wonder if they said anything lulzy about anything else? *Ctrl+F Ctrl+F Ctrl+F" instead of being able to read everything one person says in one spot.

In completely unrelated news, your icon is really cute :x ♥

[(Anonymous)]

Which is the converse of

"LOL, I really like secret 105. I wonder what lulzy stuff people are saying about it? *Ctrl+F Ctrl+F Ctrl+F* -dammit some wiseass is using Roman numerals- *Ctrl+F Ctrl+F*"

Personally, I'd rather be Ctrl+F-ing through three or four pages for a few names than through ten to twelve pages for an equal number of secrets.

Well then they'd lose out, because I, for one, will not bother reading those, not when our lovely mod has set up such a wonderful system :D
