Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
New site direction

I think I'm getting mixed messages about the new direction of the site.
On one hand, the site is trying to attract more viewers and visitors and avoid the "clubhouse" (manhouse?) perception:
therewillbe.games/forum/8-complaints-sug...e-end-times-are-here
On the other hand, Skeletor's flashback interview is being highlighted on the front page (a man not known for biting his tongue), and I regularly see ads for C.R. Otchrot.
If that's cool with everyone (the site's owners/managers, more than anything else), that's fine. More than fine, really. I guess I'm just a bit... confused. Could definitely be me, though.

Mr. Skeletor is no longer a member of the site, as I understand it.
I am not sure if there will be a truth and reconciliation process to deal with past offenses.
Let a thousand flowers bloom.

Edit: Posts moved to a new thread, which is appropriate. Don't have anything more to say, really. Just expressing genuine confusion. In no way am I trying to dictate the content, philosophy, or manner of the site. A bit more clarity could be useful, is all I'm saying.

Many people seem to have projected there own unarticulated ideas onto the changes that we have made to the website.
So here’s what the changes are:
Site has a new name.
We brought in a bunch of experienced reviewers with a wider range of game preferences, so your seeing more reviews of Euros and abstract games.
We’ve asked long time members to try to be less cliquey, and more welcoming to new members.
We threw some money at small upgrades to the site, and advertising.
We are actively promoting the site via social media.
Also, woman swear; Hanno is funny; it is interesting to see who we were and what we thought 10 years ago compared to who we are now; if an advertiser believes referencing a fungal infection will sell more games that’s their call.

We had a positive review of Raiders of the North Sea, instead of dragging it over the coals for being a fake-Viking, worker placement game trying to pose as a thematic Viking Raiders game.

I think it goes back to Ken B’s oft quoted moderation policy “Don’t be a dick.”
