I forgot to add earlier... Stumplicker is a solid P10 if he's comparing all of this to going through the window of his car vs using the door.

Reading posts from the Activity Stream is so jarring to me I don't understand why people like it.

Rather than going to "New Posts", finding a thread you want to read, then clicking the blue arrow to bring you to the first unread post then reading all new posts in order, you instead click "Activity Stream" and get all posts forum wide in order of which they were posted.

So you're reading about an auction in one post, then about who sexed up whom in GS, then about how much of an asshole Trump is then BAM! You're back to the sex thread, then you're back to Trump is an asshole, then you're on how much monks suck, then back to sex, then back to the original auction thread, then monks sucking Trump's asshole.

Just seems like an odd way to read the forums.

It's definitely a jumbled mess. I'm honestly surprised at how many people use it.

I've said it before, but we're old. You may as well make your peace with it, it's only going to get worse for us in the years ahead.

Goddamn millennials! I'm too lazy to doctor up a Shitty Wok guy picture with his goddamn Mongorians, but it would be appropriate here.

I never understood this either. It seems like a lot more work than just clicking on Today's Posts and finding actual threads you want to read.

For me personally, it's the fact that "What's New" summarizes the post by telling me who posted it, in what thread was it, and what was the first line of their post. And for the most part, that first line gives me what I need anyway, or I can tell if I want to keep reading the post at all by having read the first line. For instance, Wakahashi has a "Selling Some Stuff" thread. In what's new, I can see Telekin place a mb on #2 in that auction. If I were bidding on something else in that auction, I care about new posts in that thread, but instead of clicking in to the thread, I can easily see that I don't care what Telekin posted because I wasn't bidding on #2. With all the chatter that goes on even in a sales thread, I might not care about 80% of the new posts in a thread I actually care about. The What's new summarizes it for me so I know I don't have to actually go in to the thread to read it.

And I'll say it again. Just ignore people. But guess what, I don't miss any post that's important to me, even on someone I ignore. Because undoubtedly someone else I haven't ignored will post in a thread I care about, I'll click "see more" in the "What's New" feed to take me to the actual thread, and inevitably I'll see someone I've ignored has posted in that thread. For those of you who don't know, if you've ignored someone and they post in a thread that you're looking at (while you're looking at the actual thread, not in the What's New feed), there's a place holder in that thread that says who posted, and I can click "View Post" to see what they posted, without having to take them off my ignore list. My ignore list includes people like Methais, Tgo, Taernath, drauz, and Fallen. They all post tons of awesome game related shit, but they also post a ton of non game related shit that doesn't bother me politically or emotionally (no need to call me a snowflake PB), I just don't like it clogging up my "What's New", which is the way I like to read the forum. But when it comes to them posting in a thread I care about, I literally never miss anything they say.

Sorry for the long post.

You're joking, right? This is a joke?
