Who Hates V3 the MOST? (Contest maybe...?)

Sort:
erik

I'm having a hard time pinning this one down and deciding.  

  • Spacebux
  • Chungle
  • GeneralChang
  • gambit-man

Each one has their specific angle. 

Spacebux, you have been excoriating in rich detail, which I have actually appreciated. Many of your comments though have helped, so that may hurt your chances. However, you have maintained an aura of flabbergastedness which I truly admire. 

Chungle, you have certainly expressed the most sheer disgust. I have also appreciated your feedback, including the 45 minute youtube video you created, which really did encourage me to make many changes. Still, the degree of horror that you have shown may tip the scales in your favor. 

GeneralChang, you have been, by far, the most condescending. Additionally, I have been genuinely wowed by the conspiracy theories. Also in your favor is that I have not gotten to many specific comments, mostly just feelings. Your avatar does also help your cause. 

Gambit-man, you have been the most disappointed of all. And maybe that's what has hurt the most. Your comments have been legitimate, and while I haven't always agreed, I have acted on many of them. The entire extension project was prompted by you (apparently it is also too resource-intensive for some machines...). Again, your sincerity has certainly given you gravitas in this contest. 

Those are my thoughts anyway. Am I missing anyone? There are others who have been deeply saddened, critical, and upset. But I'm trying to find the ONE who really, really, really earns the title of "Greatest Opponent of V3". I will offer a prize for the winner. 

What do you think?

Damn. All this time I should have told the truth could have been in running. Trying for a job here or I would have laid into you more! I'll take the sad and disappointed trophy tho. Lol. Keep trying Eric.

I'm taking a break from chess until someone rolls out a chess site that rivals V2.

My vote is the person who doesn't plan on sticking around after V2 is gone. Chungle maybe?

camter

Who would want to leave? More laughs per acre I never have had.

But, many of us do not actually hate V3 any more than we hate Erik or Danny. 

V3 is simply a work in progress.

I don't hate v3.  I go in there every once in a while, and click on these strange and mysterious icons, and something completely unexpected happens.  I'm just sad because most of my friends have said they will leave the day v2 closes.  Probably someone should go into v3, figure out how it works, and then explain it to the rest of us.

Spacebux

All my efforts to show the defectiveness of v3 seem to end in vain; detailed as my posts may be. 

v2 may have been crude as far as interfaces go, but it served a larger, better purpose for chess.com.

I'm only anti-v3 because I've seen better.  It's called v2.  v3 is a downgrade; and for that, I will be one of the most ardent critics.

Still, I'd vote for Chungle.  But, be it Chungle, g-man, Bellero, GeneralChang, .. it doesn't matter---the real damage has been done.  Whole groups have been decimated by v3's implementation.  Decimated.  Countless friends have logged off for good; gone to other sites or gone for other places and spaces, their loss is felt in the comradery in group match-making... err, clubs, sorry.  Undecided

As long as v2 remained, I felt this site had a chance.  Now that v2's on the chopping block once more, it's a matter of time.  I was never in the running for Antagonist #1; that was never my purpose.  My passion was to save the site that I (and others) enjoyed so much.  Very sad to see it go... .

Hey, you are stealing my message there, @spacebux.

Ain't the end of the world, only the world as we knew it.

Sorta makes me think of another country, and the events surrounding 1861.

But frankly, my dear.....

I know all 4 very well and my Vote goes to Mug ( Spacebux ) we have messaged each other for months. He has indeed succeeded at driving me crazy. That said he deserves the most outspoken metal happy.png  Cheers

camter

He is a man of mettle indeed. And don't meddle with him.

He has driven some of his friends crazy too, Trecky (Commander_Riker). Outspoken hardly says it enough, as a megaphone would fail to amplify his message.

Spacebux

..just wait until I'm decaffienated. 👍

My vote is for Spacebux!  Love the mug as well......

I can't give my vote to @Spacebux - many of his complaints were completely justified and well thought out (see, for example, his recent post in the Interested in a Live Show about V2-V3? news item). This does not qualify as hate, IMO.

My vote is for @GeneralChang -- in appreciation of the unmitigated chutzpah of ranting about V3, while inviting people who view his profile to "Check out my website  http://www.nmchess.com/" -- a website that has been displaying "File not found (404 error)" since at least January 2016.

spacebux hit the nail on the head again. it has also ruined the us chess league and the countless timeouts i see everywhere ....
