The community is quite fine, but I hate the site. 'Visual design makes me want to puke. The organization of content is awful and probably the worst I've ever seen on the internet. The reputation system is insane. Why do I have 228 reputation? I get rep everytime I log in (which oddly happens to register every session I visit)? Please down vote me, I don't like the absurdity of doing nothing and getting 'points' for it. This is a shoutout to the administration and developers of the website.

That's my 1024 bytes.

I think this topic can sensibly serve as a tune-up ground. I think we can maturely discuss the website and point out our issues without offending eachother. Also, to the moderation team, I understand it is not good to restart a topic after a previous (similar) one is closed. Well, you'll have to think about that, but I think this is an exception, namely because the previous was for throwing potatos, walking away, and laughing after a few people took it too seriously (there's a stupid term for that, which I won't use). Hopefully you don't feel vandalized by that, but for me at least, it was a warming laugh of absurdity before I could discuss reality in a serious tone:

GameDev.net is extremely popular.
The website itself is poorly done.

If you would like to hear my ideas regarding the site's improvement, please ask. If you have any thoughts yourself, please say! Thanks.

That's what the forum "Comments, Suggestions, and Ideas" is for.

If you have constructive ideas, share them over there.

Correct.
