On the 15th of July, Youtube plans to change the channel design of every user on youtube.

Just a quick glance at the comments shows how many people feel about this.
And myself, I totally agree with them. The new design makes it difficult to open link in new tabs/windows, it looks nasty, it renders slower, and it's generally more cumbersome to use. Hopefully they'll listen to all the uproar, but I'm really not counting on it.
What's your opinion?
Looks awful.
I am disappoint.
It becomes akin to a social website, so it sucks.
I honestly don't understand what google's obsession with this kind of "browsing experience" is.
I mean, sure, it's fancy and "cool", but the functionality is less than its desired for. =/
Any Reasons?
I was a FORMER Gaiafag. I liked it for a bit, then I realized everyone was more concerned more about their e-penis and vagoo than actually talking about things. And the RPing is extremely lame and clothes buying is about as evil and explotive as shit; and the monthly payments... What the hell, isn't that Real Money Trading? Yetch. And the lot, about 40% of people who discussed Anime, Real Life Drama and Video Games were total douches and for about another 20% were more concerned about what the hell their internet character's going to wear. And how did I become a former? Easy. Banned. For posting up the truth about how everyone was being total dicks and e-persona faggots.
If GaiaFagLand is going to be an MMORPG, there's one thing I can see; it's going to be fucking failing below what we're seeing now.
Gaia is so fucking stupid. Someone changed my niggering password. FUCK THAT DIC HELLING NIGGER! MUTHERFUCKER WILL PAY!
~
GAIA REMOVED MY AVATAR FROM THE ARENAS BECAUSE I WROTE IN THE FORUMS THAT ANYONE WHO VOTED FOR ME GETS A COOKIE.
GAIA ARE FUCKING RETARDS, THEY ALWAYS BAN THE RICH PEOPLE FOR NO REASON
STOP THE MADNESS PEOPLE- RETURN TO THE NEW LIFE!!!!!!
I don't hate Gaia. I was a gaiafag for a long, long time. It's a place I've once been, that I spent some time on, and at that time, honestly enjoyed. The Gaia now is not the Gaia I once used. It's just another website, one of billions on the internet. Eh.
~~
for a group of people that doesn't want to have anything to do with gaia, you guys sure do talk about them a lot.
Thats it I give up on gaia. fuckers. For over 2 freaking years now I've been crying for some help with getting my "mules" back (one is a 2nd account I had a lot of fun with it. I made a stupid bump topic that was very popular. I made lots of little medals for people to earn and gave away items. Then one day I can't log in to that account!!! After months of thinking I was stupid and just lost my password I find out this year that there is a fucking glitch that makes it so you can't login to your account.
So I cry for help from the mods. They in the past were always nice to me and helped me. So I'll get help for this right? NOT.
All I get back is bla bla bla:
Hi there,

OH
I wish 4ch was at LEAST as ACTIVE as 2ch.
On the other hand, they also have a lot more users than we do.
>>4
For whatever reason, it seems that text boards are more appealing to Japanese than they are to the rest of us. 2ch has WAY more posters than Futaba, whereas 4chan and (to a lesser extent) the other English language imageboards dominate our text-only boards. My theory it that there's a relation to the generally higher computer literacy of the Japanese. Maybe it's also because 2ch is an enclave that is specifically Japanese, whereas we English speakers have most of the Internet in our native language. That works to concentrate the Japanese on 2ch, while we diffuse across all the available options.
It's kind of sad to see the text boards see less use than USENET groups dedicated to the same topics. On the plus side, there is less spam here.
It's too bad, because getting a lot of the non-image-related discussion off of the imageboards and onto text boards would dramatically improve the quality of both.
List the most awful websites you have come across on the internet!

any of you anon knows which is trusted service to ship item from jpn yahoo auction ?
I've heard Crescent-Shop and ShoppingMallJapan work well.
Definitely don't use Akibado, they've been holding my items hostage for over a year and won't return my e-mails.
I want to tell you what happened to me.
That is, I did fall in love with a girl.
We met on the internet several months ago.
Now we write each other regularly.
We write about everything; do not hold back.
I think we are loving each other.
And there's nothing bad about it.
Only joy, pleasure, and longing.
And it feels great. And it is perfect for me.
We exchanged pics but haven't phoned yet.
I was long afraid she doesn't exist,
even if I talked to her; it was too good.
Now I'm mostly not any more afraid so much.
...A great longing for freedom.
The net is awesome. I like every one of you

twitter sucks. so why does everybody LOVE twitter? i don’t give a shit about what other people are doing. if you’re bored enough to twitter, then why would I care about your boring life? i also hate the cutesy layout. it's all “bubbly” and light-blue and it makes me rage.
>>7
I'm sure that is what everyone said about myspace and facebook as well.
>>13
and myspace has already passed.
I think if facebook doesn't fuck it up, they might be able to survive a pretty long time. Being able to look up people is a useful tool. I've found that it's a good method of contacting people that would be hard to get to in any other way.
Of course, history shows us that it won't last forever. How many websites that were really popular four or more years ago are still really popular now?
I don't know anyone who loves twitter other than media personalities and one or two camwhore bloggers.
Most people use Facebook. I have tracked down friends that I haven't seen since I was 11 on Facebook. It keeps me up to date on friends and family. I can feel connected without actually having to call.
Twitter taught me that there are a lot more attention whores than I thought.
I don't know about the rest of you but I actually think that Twitter could have been the best thing to happen to the internet in a long while.
Imagine for a moment that instead of asking the inane question of "what are you doing?" Twitter asked "what are you thinking?" Users would then "tweet" away their ideas, thoughts, concerns, and worries - things that their friends actually care about, rather than what they had for lunch, what happened during lunch, and what happened after lunch. Include a reply/comment system that allowed for the creation of multiple threads from a single "tweet" (each thread being created when a different user comments/replies to a tweet) and that doesn't spam your followers' inboxes with spam.
Personally, I'd love to use a service. But is Twitter such a site? A website created for the sharing of thoughts or ideas? No, it's a way to further estrange yourself from those whom you supposedly love by networking through an impersonal medium.
Fuck this entire thread

back to bed, ham hen.

Shut the fuck up.
Serious topic please:
problem is that i have no programming skills or whatsoever and i don't want to gamble.
what are the possibilities?
please help, thanks.
well if you are good in programming, i know that there are people who plays on neopets , who cheat, and pays $$ for virtual fake money. as well as rare items, and accounts. it also depends on how much you want to earn.
check there

The best way to make money is to scam other people. There are a ton of scams out there, but the ones that work best tend to be the one that convince OTHER people that they can get something for nothing / doing very little work.
If you're artistic you could also look into doing graphic design, website design, etc., but believe me, it's very hard to get paid to do this even if you're good at it.
You could also try to sell a bunch of old crap you don't need on craigslist or eBay.
>>3
Come think of it. Would buying stuff and re-selling it at e-bay would earn you any profit? EG; Buying obscure videogames from people who doesn't know their value, and then re-selling it to collectors? I've never used one of those services, so i don't know if they use commisions and similars.
Make blogs and put ads on them, thats what I do! I get around $2 off each one a day!
>>4
eBay charges a small listing fee, I think about $0.15, and then charges more for other features like adding more pictures than the default.
If you ask me, running an eBay business where you just buy low and sell high is more trouble than it's worth. If you get into it though, you can also buy things off of woot.com and sell them for higher prices since woot.com products are usually underpriced. Just do your research first.
I'm sorry, but your options are severely limited, so it's not really possible to be entirely serious.
[]Art Skills: Deviantart.com allows you to sell prints of work, also a webcomic is not only a great source of practice, but you get to pocket ad revenue. To succeed you must be clever (though not neccessarily funny), however, and making a full living is extremely difficult.
[]Entrepreneur Skills: >>6 is right about the eBay thing, but just ripping people off because they don't know about a cheaper store is not really foolproof. So, buy local, sell global is the way most do it, or you can sell your arts and crafts in you checked the previous.
[]Writing Skills: >>5 is probably not making enough to avoid a real job, and most bloggers flood the net with crap. If you are clever or intelligent enough (or are a good rabble-rouser), you may attract a following to support you. I don't really care for this one, but ideally you could forge an Ender's Game-type situation... which makes it your only option, since you're likely eleven.
[]Sexy Beast Skills: I don't reccomend it, but you KNEW my honesty had to say it. With good photos of yourself in suggestable situations, you can join a site... and depend on sex-crazed idiots to stay afloat. Naughty... I mean, erm, bad choice.
OP here.
I gave it up making money on the internet, i'm jsut too dumb and have no skills.
Well, i still leech from my mother. So i still have internet, a place to sleep and something to eat. But for how long...
And i don't like working as a waiter for example. You get in touch with too many people and you have to put a fucking smile on your face all the time, not being able to say what you want to.
Recently i looked up into some sailing sites....
I wonder if i'm seasick. I may give it a try.
I don't care about payment as long as i don't have to pay anything myself.
Bonus: Visit some deserted islands , enjoying the sight.
ok, i accept it now, that only work i can do is physicall work, though not too hard one.
i guess i will be jobless until i die.
but no problem with it.
I found cached messages of yours at 711chan. You said this:
> the first to successfully drop me the following message (but encrypted, as i described above) gets some ****:
I censored what you said you "get", but I'm sure you remember what you wrote. Why would we be interested in that? What do you want? You're too vague, and I doubt anyone serious would want to associtae with someone that vague.
Moreover, it seems YOU are looking for recruits, so YOU need them, and if we join, we are helping YOU.

Look at post 16478. He offers child pornography to the first person who supposedly manages to recruit himself. Whether he was lying or not I can not guess, but it is certainly a dumb thing to do on the internet.
> it's just some 12-year-old who thinks we're going to spy on people for him.
"We" who? A bunch of morons who learned to use an OS other than windows and PGP and now they think they're the shit? Do you really think I'd need anyone but myself and a search engine to "spy" someone on the internet?
> "We" who? A bunch of morons who learned to use an OS other than windows and PGP and now they think they're the shit?
everyone on the internet. this is just the usual "personal army" sort of thing that happens on the internet all the time.
> Do you really think I'd need anyone but myself and a search engine to "spy" someone on the internet?
obviously >>1 wouldn't be asking unless he wanted people to do the sort of spying you can't do over the internet.
For fucks sake, this is just jokes. Stop taking this so seriously, you anally retentive, retarded, undoubtedly homosexual fucks.

← /dqn/ is that way.
Here's my first pick:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrit_Adriaensz._Berckheyde
>He could not pronounce his own name. He also had surgery to switch his ears. He loved to judge men's wet t-shirt contests and got extremely giddy when he did this. He was morbidly obese as a child due to an addiction to twinkies. He lost all this weight during a gastric bypass surgery at the age of 13.
>>77 i don't think they had twinkies or men's wet t-shirt contests in the 17th century. that article might be untrue.
I read it on the internet, so it must be true.
