I don't like the way it looks, but I don't care at all. It's not even almost a priority in my life, and way too teensy a thing for me to be upset about.

I just do NOT understand what all the fuss is about. It's a change... it's different, there will be people who like it and people who don't. But I swear, you'd think they had doubled the price of accounts or something the way people are freaking out.

I checked - mine is still personalised and individual.. My name is still there, my pictures, my interests.. Looks pretty personalised to me..

This is me not caring and instead going about paying attention to the plethora of other things in her life that are infinitely more important.

I think it is just fine. See also this.

It's funny, because I called you a cunt below before I saw you called me a douchebag...

I linked, of course, as this has been discussed in various direct and indirect questions in the past two days.

And, of course, you are also entitled to think that James is whatever you wish just like we're entitled to think you're a whiner without whom LJ would possibly benefit. If LJ has "decreased in value" for you, well, you know where the red x is, right?

Reposted because your stupidity got me too riled up to properly edit code.

You stupid cunt, why do you even care? What the fuck difference do any of the things you've listed made?

o noes, they want to increase revenue? Tough fucking shit, it's a commercially run business, they can do whatever the fuck they want.

There is no loss of individuality here, there is nothing about the new layout that makes it Facebook-like - have you actually seen how FB is laid out?

I'm really sorry that this is such a big deal in your life, really I am :o(

Nobody but you cares as much as you care. Except the equally stupid idiots in the News article that were threatening to withhold payments over such a petty, pointless thing.

I don't see, however, how any of this makes me elitist. Who is this elite to which I belong, and what are we up to? And where is it hypocritical to rag on people for caring?

Or are your insults just totally disconnected from reality here? If you disagree with me, can I call you a pederast and a furry?

Perhaps you want to look up "hypocrisy" in the dictionary, because I'm still not seeing it. I'm not denying your right to an opinion - I'm just saying that your opinion reveals you to be an idiot.

As for growing up, I'm not the one who spat the dummy over changes to a web page, framing his whining about those changes as a "question" for others to answer, so as to have an excuse to post it here.

With the exception of having the stat box thing added at the top, nothing on my profile page changed as far as graphics and other things I had added, so I don't get what the big deal is. "Reducing the amount of individuality"? Please.

I hardly ever see that page, so no, it doesn't bother me at all.

Oh for fucks sake, it's LJ not a frigging matter of life or death, if people can't get by without having those horrendous 'love is' banners, or gifs that proclaim them to be Harry Potters one true love, then they should leave LJ immediately.

It looks clean, it's simple, it's easy to change things now, and who the hell spends more than 20 seconds looking at their own profile page.

I hate the change and am being vocal about it.

The page itself looks amaturish.


I could get behind a profile change...many people have offered viable options for change that do what the LJ design team "says" they want.

But what I'm more pissed off about than the changes, or the fact that the design team ignored the beta testers, is their reactions now.

Which have been zero, except in the case of one of the designers who publically said on his LJ that basically we would get used to it, and that he was "lulled by the positive beta response."

There was no positive beta response.

The new profile page was NOT ready to go live and they pushed it anyway.

And yes, I hate it. Again I say it. I hate the new profile page, and LJ's customer service? Is going to cause them problems.

Also, visually impaired people have let them know that their page readers have serious issues with the new layout. That's a big problem that SHOULD have been addressed the second it was brought up.

*shrugs* I get alot of people don't care. But I do. I don't like my stats at the top of the page. It makes the communities I maintain much more difficult to do so. And if people don't care, they don't complain. That's their prerogative.

But I pay this service for options.

They asked for beta testers. They got them. They asked for opinions. The majority of the opinions were negative. They ignored helpful suggestions from people who make their livings doing web design. Then they have the gall to say that customer involvement is KEY to this whole pile of shit?

I don't like being lied to, I don't like being condescended to, and when a paying customer asks for an answer, the business better pony up.
