How long until this site becomes actually "good"?

I mean.... everything about it just looks old... No private messages. Heck even the "new thread" box is shit as doesn't use the theme of the general site.

No real customization, it really isn't that hard to implement something like markdown.

Note to everyone ready to bash my ass into oblivion: It's just an opinion calm down

I like the site wish it could be improved but I don't think its shit ^^

The term "shit" might've been a bit too broad, there are definitely things that the site does right, just that there are a lot that are also bad (in my opinion that is)

It’s almost like the people who run/maintain this site do it in their free time and sometimes development moves slow.

I won’t bash you for your opinion, but I’ll bash you for being rude as fuck about it.

I agree with Timmi. You can't really acknowledge that you are giving an opinion anymore when you are saying: "Heck even the "new thread" box is shit as doesn't use the theme of the general site." That just looks rude to me.

Maybe you could try to be a little more respectful in what you are trying to say next time so your opinion is received in a better way, and even provide arguments instead of saying: "It really isn't that hard to implement something like markdown."

If you think so, then why not apply for administrator and help the coding out?

Okay I should've probably brought the message a bit different, but that doesn't make it less of an opinion.

"It’s almost like the people who run/maintain this site do it in their free time and sometimes development moves slow." And I understand that, but seeing the amount of donations and there being advertisements, I'd like to see some kind of progress you know? Now I can't say "I would like to see my money get put to use" since I haven't donated anything and it's not like I'm really doing all that much here. And I understand most likely most of the money is going to the server host and stuff like that but that shouldn't halt the progress of the site's development.

"If you think so, then why not apply for administrator and help the coding out?" I am in no way interested in being an administrator. If there was a "developer position to fill, maybe.

Remember PBTracker? Various wiki leaderboards? Tracking runs in a spreadsheet? No? Good. Stop complaining.

I think the site looks perfectly fine. Private messages are definitely something that we could use (and are "Coming Soon™"), but for now forums and Discord/Twitter/whatever are usually adequate. Other than that I really don't see any problems with the site as is.

There's definite room for improvement. You have to be careful about voicing that opinion though because there's a clique of people on here who get really defensive about the site. Some of them might bully you if you don't watch your step.

Tbh you should have expected some trolling, your first post litterally ends with "It's just an opinion calm down". It's almost the same as wearing a shirt that says "troll me pls EleGiggle"

Anyway, i personnaly like how the site looks in general, not really sure why you think it looks "old", it's special, sure, but definitly not "old" imo.

Not sure why you're thinking that, sure there's some memeing and all but in general it's because of whoever makes dumb topics / posts. As for bullying, well, it's probably the case... but definitly not on the main forums.

Also seems like you're taking things too seriously in general (judging by your responses that is). Oh well, whatever.

I think this site is great. It does all the things I wanted to code into nintendo-records but never had time to do.

If you think this site is shit then you're a spoiled shit. It used to take SO long to find a community for an obscure game because there was no hub since SRL decided to never make itself a records hub. This site is a godsend, despite some UI gripes I have about it.

If you want to improve the site give some real feedback and be specific. No developer will ever care about your generic plzmakeitbetter complaints.

Wow thats not even improvement criscoWild its all the same thing. I like the site but would like it to have a preview feature. As well as the Clique everything I say is of my own accord and I do suck at writing so I do have to correct myself on the discord everyone seems to have there own views even if its similar.

I understand the rest of the posts having genuine heart behind them in this thread even the rude ones I can see where people are coming from but I don't get spamming about three games you already made a thread for and posted in the discord server and they said they working on it and even if they ain't why not offer your help to code :)

you still have a place to show runs more than lots of games get the megaman leader board is still easy to use dkc leader board really dont look to good but works each of the websites to sync are different so will take extra time for each :) in my opinion takes time but owell idk

None of those are site improvements if you want to add a game board there's a process for that.

I do agree that external boards are confusing, as is what you have implicated. The best process that I see occurring is having the communities reach out to the site with an official link if they wish to use an external tracker, and then offering a single page with a short passage that says something like:

"The majority of runners for this game have opted to use an external leaderboard to track their times. You may find it here. Post on the forum or contact the staff to have this changed."

Would be the most appropriate way of handling it. You can't force people to stop using an external leaderboard. You would also just cause more confusion in new runners who don't know where to submit their runs, as well as create inaccuracies if someone was listed as 3rd or 4th when in reality they should be 9th or 10th but the runners never submitted to one board or the other.
