Hi all,
I've been busy with Digit's Anniversary issue. I want everyone to understand that all of this is a work in progress. This is "our" forum, and for the guys who said "Raaabo likes this colour, so it will never change", I'm very disappointed in your behaviour. If you ask all of the old-timers on this forum you will realise that we have always listened to feedback, and made changes for the better.
Not everything we do will meet with your approval, and we realise that. I have a lot more responsibilities now, and although I would love to sit and monitor this forum 24/7, like I used to, I just don't have the time. I'm not saying that this means things will not get done, but it does mean that it will take longer than it used to.
I've changed the colour for now, to make it "less hurtful to the eyes" as you guys were saying it was. We will try and improve it further over time, so please be patient. The red was only to match the look and feel of the forum to the site, which I have tried to keep by changing it from pure red to the colour value of header background on the main site.
Anyway, continue reporting bugs and giving us your feedback, we appreciate it.
Thanks,
Raaabo
Dear Raaabo,
Thanks for replying. The site imdeed DOES feel nicer now. But the ads are still mostly red in colour. Is there any possibility that the whole site could be re redesigned and red replaced with blue or green ? Blue is supposed to be the most eye friendly colour, but even then, too much bright colour is bad for the eyes.
SKOAR! website looks very good, when we compare it to digit website. Perhaps take some cues from your gaming friends ?
As far as intergration is concerned, most of us feel that the existance of the Thinkdigit.com Forum is a special one, isolated and glorified. Most of us hang out here for a long time. So this has become more of a community hub than a marketplace. So why not try to bring back our old glory with the Kirch forum ?
As for Digit Magazine as a whole, it is strongly felt that its quality is detoriating. Not intending to ask much, but why is it so that a magazine so successful in an earlier format a couple of years back is turning to this state of art garbage ? It used to be much better before.
Items reviewed used to be the best of the best back then. Now, its all different.
On laptop reviews, you review 1 lakh 2 lakh wala laptops and models which are hardly expected to entertain the value concious Indian. While Dell XPS m1530 and Inspiron 1525 are missing, Vaio models find place. Compaq Laptops, the most feature for money laptops ever, are barely seen while HP's money suckers are found prominently.
The same fate has been suffered by mobile phones, mp3 players and other gadgets. Nothing is spared.
Prices quoted are so grossly different from market price, especially for Pendrives where its more than twice the street price.
Technology articles are no more as inspiring and entertaining as before. Why has this new fiction coloumn appeared ? We would have been much more happier if more coloums like take a crack appeared.
Fast tracks are diminishing. What were once valued guide/reference books are now just some plain articles. True, fast tracks are on their recovary process, and are getting better again, but they are not back to their old form yet where one could learn everything from a single book.
In most articles and tutorials these days, you are describing expensive paid softwares or sharewares. This makes people either loose intrest or pirate. Instead, you can concentrate more on free software.
Thanks,
MHG
