The new RiotACT sux bigtime compared to what it used to be.

Well it’s a hell of a lot better for people who contribute to it (who I care about)

As opposoed to ACC’s unconstructively slagging (who I don’t)

draw your own conclusions but thanks for your feedback.

I’d take someone who spells “sux” in Tuggeranongese with a grain of salt anyway JB. Site looks great.

Oh for crying out loud! Ok, some of us don’t like the new format. I am one of them. But the content hasn’t changed. If people are going to stop reading and contributing because of the format, then they can’t have been that interested to start with.

I don’t like this set up either, but I’m just glad the guys have kept RiotACT up and running in SOME form!

Pragmafish: well thanks for your constructive input there as well.

Surprisingly readership seems to actually be climbing.

but that’s normal when people are making a point of being unpleasant to us.

“Well it’s a hell of a lot better for people who contribute to it (who I care about)”

likely to have fewer of them. Optimistically, the new format means some of us will be getting more productive, since we’ll have one less site to keep up with

The best option is to go back to Nuke, Much nicer platform for the public and code is very basic to modify

I think using wordpress for free we’re obligated to acknowledge that.

a nofollow in the link might be the answer.

there’s also issues of trust in using free software when you’re not competent to audit the code yourself

this raises some big trust issues in Matt’s judgment.

There’s a far better article at eWeek.

I don’t know what the hell Matt was thinking, but this isn’t a crucifying offense. The articles have already been removed, so the only real damage is to his reputation.

No, blogspot is rubbish. WordPress is some nice code, i’d just remove the link to wordpress.org untill they make it clear what the hell is going on.
