I noticed that io9's and a few other gawker media blogs changing it interface... and it looks annoying. I don't know about you, but I hate when websites change.

I found out by submitting a random message on #speakup

...I hope you guys don't update Kotaku the way io9 and Gawker tv have... it's a nightmare and I refuse to visit those anymore.

@Me: It's not just the various websites, it's Gawker as a whole. You can expect every Gawker website to be in that format within the coming weeks.


I might be over-reacting... but I'm still disappointed.

I suppose I'm not a big fan of the sidebar...
These things are so subjective though that it's sort of difficult to make a legitimate complaint. Obviously some people (and the people who run the website, who are probably the most important) like the design or it wouldn't be going up in the first place.
If people like the change then they will be happy to see it go through and upset if it is reverted, if other people don't like it then the opposite happens.

Basically there's no way to update your website without pissing off a whole load of people, but it's also pretty silly to avoid updating your website over time.
I guess it's just something we're going to have to deal with :/

I'm not at all a fan of static sections of a website - I like it when all of the page scrolls at the same time. However, It is much cleaner than it used to be.

Whatever. I never went to the site anyways.

They'll keep it whether people like it or hate it. If they wanted to update their website, a bit more of a subtle change would've been preferred...

They just changed it... and HOLY FUCK it's terrible. The other articles wont even load because they function in flash or something. Ugh.

I think I was following a random link to Kotaku the other day and happened across one of these new pages. Dear god it's terrible to navigate and takes forever to load, sometimes even crashing. When I first saw this topic, I really didn't think it could be that big of a deal but, who the hell ever thought this was a good idea?

Looks like in that comic article, someone posted a link to the classic view Ca.kotaku.com It's exactly the way it used to be! At least on that link... for who knows how long though, maybe temporarily or forever.
