Why I miss old clickies: a lament...

[The Coil]

I am puzzled tho, by the no desire to direct energy into getting a club wide interest in making a change to the clickie system. If there's no reasons to be arsed into providing an assessment of benefits for all, or to gain enough interest from the rest of the club to support change, then why is there so much discussion on the matter?

Just a quick clarification:we didn't changed the rep. system because we wanted to,but because we've been forced to. :) Well,maybe some of us prefer the new system over the old one,but basically we've been technically forced to switch to this new one.

RD, I was under the impression that there was really no ability to change back to the old system. Plus, when clickies were changed, there was a sort of clickie-backlash vibe on the forums. I doubt posts on all the boards asking people to voice their support for a return to the old system would have been well recieved.

I would think the fact that there is so much discussion of the matter argues for an assessment of the benefits. But I'm not in a position to really do such an assessment. I am more than content with leaving it to the mods and folks who run this board to make that assessment for themsleves - you guys have way more information about all the implications than I do. And let's be honest, you guys are the ones who have to decide if it's worth your time to make that change or not.

Like I said, my real interest in starting this thread was to bring attention to a phenomena I observed (or thought I did) (well, and to keep talking about clickies, which is just fun). I leave it to better informed folks to decide if that phenomena is real and warrants any action. This thread has achieved that purpose as far as I'm concerned (before it was spammed up by POS).

Anyway, like I said, my interest in agitating for any real change is minimal, because my days of posting are numbered - I can't imagine my wife putting our 3-year old to bed while the newborn is crying, and me saying "I'll be up in a minute, as soon as I've finished this post" with any real conviction.

If posters would put this much energy into a CM related topic, the place would be humming along.. I just happen to think that one of the reasons to not post as much CM topic related items anymore is because they don't gather as much attention. :whis:

I wholeheartedly agree with you on this point, btw. That's why I think you need something else (to wit: clickies) in order to foster novel and innovative posting.

Whether deleting your plotted moves helps your tank unbog has been discussed to death on many forums, and is no longer real interesting to talk about. The intricacies of the clickie have only begun to be explored...
