Something big happened. - The official updates thread.

[Forrest]

Sorry if some of the Dev team are taking negative feedback a bit personally... I couldn't blame them really, with some of the reactions above.

But - and this is a big but - unfortunately, they're not going to like this either. I've been on the internet since before the WWW, all the way back to bulletin boards via a 1200baud modem. This new EI site is one of the worst I've ever seen, worse even than MySpace or GeoCities. What's with the HUGE photos? The navigation is awful. And the map idea was just dreadful. The reaction to urgent comment that it was putting escorts in danger was completely inadequate. If I was an advertiser and spending hard-earned money, I'd be gone over that issue alone. Immediately and permanently.

For God's sake lads, take some feedback on board and have a rethink. Fixing a few bugs isn't going to fix a fundamental site design problem.

I very much doubt that any one on DevTeam cares a jot about the reaction to their 'Something Big Happened' Disaster.
I would go as far as to say, I doubt that anyone in EI cares about the fiasco that is the NEW Wesbite, because if they did,
they wouldn't have allowed it to go live, and stay live for the last 10 days, with so many bugs & imperfections(and that's being polite)

A Conspiracy Theorist might suggest that the Huge Photos are a deliberate act to distract and con the masses that only think with their dick.
It is much more difficult to notice the non-verified profiles, and fake picture reports, with the new design, which suits EI's purpose to perfection.
