How mature.
We accept that the site may not be perceived as good when accessed from
abroad, but if you try it when you are in the UK, you will see why it has
been voted website of the day in a number of places including by the BBC.
Here many people love the experience it brings, which is why we have 100s of
repeat daily visitors.
So yes, use it in the USA, and you may perceive it as "s**t", if that is the
extent of your vocabulary.
Use it in the UK as intended, and it is a far better experience - one you
have not been able to recreate.
So what really are you commenting on? Like I said, if that is your opinion
of logic, go and complain to Google China that you can't understand the font
they use.
We will launch a USA portal, on USA servers, when we get there, but this is
for now a UK startup. Surely that is not so very hard to comprehend.
The huge mistake we made when posting here was forgetting that you are
mostly from the USA.
And as for your continued projection onto us that we have ignored and
ridiculed the comments made here, you are completely ignorant to the fact we
have changed *several* things based purely on the feedback here, and have
said so over and over, and users here have reported since doing so that the
site is "a lot faster", and we have now done as much as time and cost will
allow. You will of course continue to believe that cannot be true, because
that is the limit of your understanding. Because you know you cannot
change, you project it onto someone you have no knowledge of and have never
met, that in fact it is they who cannot change. This flies in the face of
the hours of work we have done to change the very things fed back to us
here.
Please, continue to enjoy USA websites that do not try to do something
interesting, innovative, or original. We are doing our best as a very small
operation, and being bullied and berated by narrow-minded people who have
not even had the intended experience the website gives to its target
audience, is frankly a waste of both our time.
It is I who will be drifting away from this group, I assure you, as it
serves no purpose to ask for feedback from people who are incapable of
giving it for a number of reasons, geographical and otherwise.
