    Despite what others say, I don't feel like the changes are all bad. The staff vision for the site has changed, partially based on years of feedback from the users, partially from instructions from management, I'm sure. The thing is, even on the internet, things are constantly changing and evolving. Wailing about it is as useless as bemoaning the demise of cassette tapes or tube TV. Since we cannot control the site, all we can do is adjust or leave. Because eternal ranting about it will only earn people violations.

    For now, I've adjusted. If an old dog like me can, anybody can. Really.

    Chaos and shambles pretty much sums it up. In my humble opinion feel they should have left well enough alone and worked on fixing the problems with the old Y A instead of spending who knows what revamping the whole thing. Now we have a choice, accept it and participate or go elsewhere that's a shame.

    I wouldn't call it a shambles but a bloody mess is as close as I would say politely

    I've witnessed this site become a "vulgar playground" for more hate, pedos, & trolls then it ever had been.

    There seems to be a lack of employees to get back in touch with you upon reporting said chaos.

    Many "contributing" members have abandoned ship or go ashore more then they once did.

    Those like me are confused as to why chat/rant is still a violation yet the new "comment" feature be flooded with it.....

    It seems to me that YA has not a clue as to what made this site a ca$h cow & we weren't even paid.

    Source(s): A 5 plus year member & once avid voter. I've Ocular Albinism & severe migraines of which YA's new "Barney" format has made even worse. Sadly these changes are causing issues for many of the "contributors" here & it can be proven in their points at week's end.....

    I don't think YA will last much longer. If they had a rule that the asker must choose Best Answer before he/she could ask more questions, it could have worked. The clutter from all the questions without a chosen answer, and spam that hasn't been reported is terrible.
