The Forums and "Escapist" problems....

[EkurioX]

HI

I am new here... I have also been known from y'all othr little website "Entertainment Consumer Association" not related to "electronic Consumer association" or numerous other gaming communities.. Where the staff or ban hamer-er... Was a harassing, rude person leading to numerous sites not even giving them credit or many replies when they wanted to partner with them.... I hope the staff has learn to respect everyone and treat everyone as they would like to be treated...

ANyhoo

But my problem is not that...

Website design - Is cluttered there is to much detail and the website is not "neat" or designed to appeal any formality.

I think the layout needs to be changed, dramatically -- When a webpage is made it should be "user friendly" People can the almost everything at-a-glance... This creates procedure to have consumer desire/anticipation... Having a neat & clutter-free site allows the webstaff to give the viewer the latest thing and create a easy to user interface--so it can give value to be able to advertise. [This is basic business-advertisement procedures.]

The website you all host does not do that... You come here and BAM all you see is Red dead redemption and in the midst a poll and other pictures--this is clutter creating a confusing environment for basic user and does not really place the person inside the sites "essential" reason. People see old game titles and they wonder -- Does this website even update??

Either way... Above all this site needs a massive layout change to demonstrate a formality and ease to use... I mean its funny you all do a "Entertainment consumer Association" but know jack-squat about advertising or what the consumer wants...

What are the 4 bottom poll options for?

I don't think this site is in the least bit cluttered, don't know what the hell you're talking about. Though I did vote "I come here to chat" because I do come here to post on forums daily and that's all I do.

The only problem with the Escapist is when they don't warn you when they're doing maintenance and the forum eats your post for lunch.

I think the layout is fairly good (and rather well updated). The only issue I have with it, is it's ability to scale, but that's nothing major. Doesn't mean I love all of the staff or ads, but I don't see much to justify your complaint.

Oh but if one thing could improve, since you've given me this chance, I would like to see the main search bar connect to the proper Forum search function (especially when searching under the forum link - I don't mean the forum tab in the Forum section... ah this looks messy).

Edit: What do you know, always room to improve.  I wouldn't mind if the news under the main page could be saved so that when you use the the back function from within a news-page it would take you to the proper link of news.  I'm talking about the linked numbers under the "News" section here. (Again I may be failing to communicate here) Not a layout problem, mind you.
