Poll: what are your favorite site features?

[Costello]

Just curious to see what our users like the most about our site
Other than the forums, which are central and from which a lot of the features feed.

Poll above, feel free to comment, or suggest new features
Staff members are invited to vote too - they are people, you know?

Only up to 5 choices!?
Where's the "all of the above" choice?

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

Clearly the only correct answer is the Shitbox ;O;

 

[Chary]

The people <3

News is #1 for me, obviously. I also like status posts and profile interactions, seeing people's avatars to know who they are, and the shoutbox. All social aspects.

I’ll assume that, much like the forums, the podcast isn’t included on the list because it’s just too essential to the site.

No, really, news and reviews were always the biggest for me. Long before I was staff, I was regularly logging in just to check the news.

The review section is awesome. The temp sure does have a great review team.

And the EoF is always good for a laugh.

 

[SaulFabre]

I can't choose!!!!!

I like everything of GBAtemp.net

But I like more blogs, downloads, ask GBAtemp, PMs, reviews (@Chary makes great of these), and more!

Yes I forgot to say the blogs section is cool. Without it how else would we hear about the amazing adventures of Chary's dad in the modern world lol.

Yeah I started two weeks ago my blog, you can see it in my profile

I also like the WikiTemp section, I recently updated and edited one of the forgotten wikis and some people still do, Wii VC iNJECTiONS for Wii console xd

I genuinely use the news section of this website as my primary source of news. My gratitude towards Chary and the rest of the news team is immense. Thank you so much for all the work you put in.

The reviews are also really high quality and reveal things I didn't know existed alongside unique takes on things I really would like to try but don't know enough about. They always feel genuine and honest, as if I have a direct glimpse into the mind of the reviewer and can feel everything they feel about the item being reviewed.

All that aside its going to have to be blogs and profile posts for me as third and fourth. Even though I don't visit the blogs section very often its existence is something I appreciate a lot. It's possible to vent or rant to the community about anything and they'll always have your back. The only thing I wish is that mentions functioned in there and that there was a convenient reply function for comments.
Profile posts is mostly the same - its like mini twitter but without all the problems of twitter. I can mention anything random and the wonderful community will find it and comment on it, providing whatever input I needed and strengthening our friendships.

Unironically the EoF is a valuable asset to this forum (Placing fifth for me), especially to the people like me who have fallen out of touch with homebrew scenes. Its a place where you can always drop in to have a bit of fun or make a thread on any stupid topic without having to fear it doesnt suit the seriousness of the rest of the forums.

And lastly, you. The people of GBAtemp are its biggest asset, none of this would be possible without our amazing community.

 

[AncientBoi]

I like most of them. To put it down to just 5 choices... thats a No

 

[Hells Malice]

I stopped coming to the site a while back and the only real reason I came back was for the gaming news and reviews

 

[BlazeMasterBM]

world news and politics.....................

 

[p1ngpong]

Great now we can have how disliked the politics section is in black and white!

My mistake, its really popular with 4% of the vote so far!

 

[The Catboy]

I would say it's easier for me to pick my least favorites, which is the world news and ask section. The ask section still seems pointless and I stand by my suggestion years ago to remove it. The world news section is such a good idea and perfectly contains all of the nonsense from spreading, but it might as well also include "conspiracy" in the title or literally just be the "conspiracy" section because that's pretty much what it is.

damn it I knew I forgot something... and I forgot Temper Tantrums too!
I'll add the poll options but it's a little late now.

edit: done, and people can change their vote if they want to.
