Have you guys ever visited the CDProjekt Red forums? It's like first class in there while we get this forum where there's not a week where a problem shows up (broken notifications, friends add me spam, gogbears pages, etc).

A quick visit there and:

- You can make quick replies (here you need to use BF essentials for that);
- Spoiler tags exists (again, here you need to use BF essentials for that but it's pointless because not everyone uses it so you would be spoiling to those people);
- You can incorporate images in the posts (perhaps even gifs, i couldn't try it because i need 10 posts and i'm not in the mood to spam just to test it);
- There is a profile for each user so you can check others post history (or even yours, sometimes i want to revisit a thread but can't remember the name);
- No downrep abuse because you can't downrep people there (it has a thank you/red point system that can be abused but who cares);
- Moderators (feel free to disagree here but if you think about it, this forums allows the users to police the forums at their will, it's not better than giving guns to citizens and make everyone sheriffs).

Perhaps there's even better things (or worst) there but like i said it was a quick visit.

So i ask, why this lack of respect for the community here? Can't say that i've been here for too long (1~2 years?) but i'm tired of seeing broken promises, "we're listening and we promise" and yet nothing happens and usually the gog team doesn't even return to those threads or answer back to the rest of the posts.

I was promised a Q&A with the gog team and 39 days later no sign of it, sure, it was said that it was sometime in the future but i was assuming that it wouldn't take that long to group 4 people in order to answer some questions from their customers.

I'm not dumb, i do know that we're the minority so it's easier to ignore us and continue doing whatever has been done all this time, some game releases, some promises and everything is alright.

Note that this isn't a personal attack to the gog team present on the forum (aka "the blue ones"), besides one smart ass i was always been well treated by them and they've been respectful to us, i'm talking about whoever is responsible for the decisions that are made here and the community manager (if that role even exists in their team).

All i'm asking (besides a better forum and i think that we deserve it) is honesty and a bit of your time to, you know, manage the community that has been here for you, buying your games or serving as customer support to other people.

because the cdprojekt forum is the forum of the mainc ompany and the flahs ship company and is much higher profile
in short they care more about that then the gog forum which is a fleabittten park where peopel are allowed to let their dogs run free and the grass is half dead
and the pond is is maloderous green hole in the ground

I agree. It is rather sad, especially since there the owned by the same company so there is no real reason GOG couldn't just take the forum software from the CDPR forums and integrate them here instead of this crappy forum there using now. It does feel like we are second class citizens, so many small changes could be made to improve this site and a decent web developer should be able to do without much issue and yet here we sit, the site largely the same as it was 2 or 3 years ago when I joined. :/

It's bad enough that developer/publishers treat us as second class citizens to Steam, but when GOG does it to there own customers it is really really sad.

not too mention infuriating

Too much time on your hands.

That too.

We as a community need to stay on top of them to make some needed changes, otherwise it will never happen...

Not when you can type quickly but i don't see how that serves as contribution to the discussion here.

It doesn't... don't even know why he responded.

how do we do that though when the community is fractured
and gog either stonewalls us or breask their promises ?

We keep posting these types of threads and take every effort to bring it up until they get the message. If enough people complain, they will take notice.

Because there's too many whiners and complainers around here. Just trying to do my best to offend and ridicule them. Just doing my part for the betterment of gog-kind.

...and then say...

"We are listening to your feedback!"

"We'll get on it - soon!"

"I'll pass that to the web dev team..."


etc etc etc

Well that was more of all lets complain about everything thread... we need to be direct in in saying what we dislike, like these forums.

Or they do a "Good News™"
