Hey Ry
The old badges are just listed as "legacy" badges now (and renamed from gold, silver and bronze to something else), so I'm not sure what you mean by them being thrown in the garbage. The only thing that is really gone is the hammer, which is arguably more prestigious though.
Can you clarify what you meant?
Randomizer, My old buddy!
Were you elected the sacrificial lamb, or did you just stumble into this?
Legacy is what I'm talking about, it was a past investment in THGF, and a badge a recognition of past accomplishments.
So we get a new facelift and we have to start all over getting recognition of our accomplishments, what about what we've already long term accomplished here.
If it wasn't going to matter why give the past badges in the first place.
What is it now?
5 best answers and a THGF user is suddenly an expert? ROFLMAO
5 = Expert?
Who burnt some serious midnight oil coming to that conclusion! (Sarcasm!)
Is that some lame attempt to class THGF as full of experts, compared to other websites that do have a lot of experts and they were not classed that from 5 best answers either!
So Toms is now disillusioned to the point they think quantity is better than quality, as a carpenter I can assure you that it isn't!
As one of the THGF members well aware of what it takes to actually become expert at anything regarding computers, it does not come in 5 answers.
To adopt that is a joke and an insult!
If you cannot see that, then my complaining falls on deaf ears, but this post was just to vent anyway!
And why should we care about this new rating system?
When everything from the past is so easily dismissed!
This new system will be dismissed as well!
I'm just venting OK, I'm not directly angry at anyone, I just think this sucks!
I'm just stating my disapproval for the record, and not at you, you were just the first to answer the thread.
No one will be changing my mind about it, but if you feel the need, go for it.
I Hope you and your family are doing well! Ry
Edit: Hold the presses, I forgot something to bitch about.
It has come to my attention that best answers broke the brain work, when the decision had to be made of US vs UK best answer totals so a decision was made to use one or the others total as the total of best answers acquired.
There is a new invention some of us are aware of, it is called a calculator!
It will allow even an idiot to add two totals together!
Where's the thinking?
Just because best answers were posted in the UK were they not also clearly read from the US and vice versa?
YES!
So why the split decision?
Is that how we also lost post count?
I'm still venting, there's no reason to break out the National Guard yet!
This transition could have been handled much better!
However I'm quite sure the host of lame excuses should make us all happy that Toms did not fall off the edge of the planet in the process, not a freaking thing will get done about it! Ry
