I celebrate the return to only Brofists, as the forums now run faster and smoother on all ends (check Crispy's stats about the server computer) and it forces forum users to communicate normally again, which I think is the biggest advantage.

I cilibriti thi ritirn ti inli brifists, is thi firims niw rin fistir ind smiithir in ill inds, ind it fircis firim isirs ti cimminiciti nirmilli igiin.

OH, FUCK OFF.

People were communicating just fine, in fact, we were communicating even better than before. I long awaited the ability to rate other people's post because saying "thank you" or "laughing" all the time was uncomfortable as fuck. This is all Crispy's fault, as ratings DIDN'T NEED TO BE GONE, they just had to be trimmed. Certain ratings had a very valid reason to exist, like "Excited", "Agree", "Disagree", "Thank You", "Funny", among others. Then the great rating decline happened and all we got were meme ratings that people used only because they were there.

We laugh at Bethesda so much, yet doing this type of stupid shit is no different than removing skills from a Fallout game in replacement of a simplified and dumbed down Perk system.

What this has to do with Infinitron?

The ratings weren't bad, but they did have a couple of problems (too many buttons that were interchangeable, for one), but the biggest issue was that they often stifled communication, instead of enhancing it.

For example, if you disagreed with someone, you just plastered a retarded rating on their post (aka - the Lurker King syndrome), instead of going through the effort of coming up with an intelligent retort to their argument.

In all fairness, one does not simply read the Trump thread. I'm lucky if I catch 10% of it.

Before the buttons came, we didn't speak.

While i was against these rack of buttons initially, it livened up the discussion somewhat. On the other hand, it made Codex probably the most CPU-heavy site I regularly visit, it even caused micro-stuttering in the audio player when the page was loaded (on an overclocked 2500k, I can only imagine what happens on atom cpus or something like that). Did it really cause such high load on servers? If it were non-dynamic (I mean, page had to be reloaded when post is rated), it'd probably be lighter on the servers.

I had zero problems loading 30 tabs of codex on my 2009 core 2 duo at work, much less with my 2015 i5 at home. Wtf are you people doing.

 

[Johannes]

All of a sudden people actually need to reply to posts again! The wonders!!!!!

That's the only downside. We already have too many replies in this forum. This will lead to post inflation, watch out.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

This was my doing.

You're welcome.

I wanted to retard your post. Moved the mouse cursor over to the right and....

I feel so empty

 

[Sentinel]

Well, you won't give me my buttons, I'll block your ads.

I don't know what you're on about. I browse on a Phenom II 955 at 4.0GHz (that's a CPU from 2009) often and I have literally 0 problems on that CPU. Stop using firefox with 50 bloat addons.

The worst part about this is that I can't buttfist all the butthurt replies.

Nope, that's client-side slowdown. Turn JavaScript off in your browser and you are golden.

WTF is with people experiencing better performance after the buttons are gone. Do you fuckers don't play games and have pc which cannot handle even a browser?

They're all browsing from their phones, litteraly shitposting.

Then disable buttons on the mobile site version and be done with this

Buttans are not the only JS feature on 'dex, mind you.
Also my desktop is off-line, using shitty notebook for browsing, filthy STEAMFAGS.
