Another thing I was wondering: is the degree system broken? Stories barely get more than 50% now, many being stuck at 20% or 30% despite being on the front page for hours.

It’s been a little better for me lately. Prior to this week it was mostly site down.
Comments are having issues but at least I can read some articles.

Thanks for the update and happy new year Chris! Have followed this site about 2007 and prefer to continue to get my news here. However, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t looking for a replacement in the event of a further decline in up to date news and engagement. Again, I prefer to be here and continually check in.

Like you, I hope the owners get the issues under control quickly and user engagement increases significantly.

1Longtime member here. Thanks for the update Chris. I've endured and will continue to endure. Hopefully the issue will be fixed very soon.

Hey Christopher this is heart breaking to hear. I tried DMing you but as predicted, that's broken too. So maybe you can DM me an email address so I chat with you freely. I run a tech team of web app programmers and I promise you we can fix this site up. I do this work for large VCs and enterprise level apps with massive concurrent users.

If this is interesting or there is a budget you can try DMing me with an email address for more details or to setup a call.

Let's fix this. I've been here since the beginning and I don't want to see this place die.

Can we bring back the Open Zone? Unfiltered trolling and dumping would make N4G great again.

Well since my heartfelt comment got ghosted 😢 😩here it is
“ I been here since before the days of chaos from comments bubbles and open chat till now I like this site and it pains me to see it in this conditions, I hope this site bounces back like it has done before and becomes better till then or something else I’ll be here in one form or another.
Long live N4G”
Thank you Christopher for all your hard work

I understand the problems, I have experienced many of the things you mentioned. That being said, I've been a long time member here and I don't think I'll be leaving anytime soon. If the errors are bad one day, I just skip and come back the next. Not a big deal at the end of the day. I figure the issues will all get sorted out one day.

"Thanks for the update!

I know that if the site were running well, I'd be posting and commenting 4-5 + times a week."

This was posted 2 hrs ago by me. I'm being honest. I don't know why it's not appearing but I got an error then it said it was a double post.

Hell yeah keep the site going idc if its buggy. This is one of the oldest accounts I have anywhere. Best news site.

Thanks for the update. Happy New Year Everyone.

Really wishing you the best luck and hoping it will improve in the future.
Keep up the good fight!

Tks for the update!
Wishing your team the best of luck and hoping for the best :)

its funny, cause i got a error trying to load this haha
i hope they can fix it soon

kinda funny that I clicked on this and got a runtime error lel
but fr, I can't imagine getting my VG news any other way, I hope to see it evolve and improve.👍

Hey. Longtime member here. If it's any consolation, I'm not leaving unless N4G itself enters the forever sleep. Site issues be damned

Thanks for the update. Hopefully everything gets resolved soon.

Appreciate the update, Chris! Been a longtime member here and have always loved the convenience of having multiple gaming news sources in one place. Hoping that the changes arrive soon, as I'd be gutted to see N4G disappear.

I actually feel it's gotten slightly better in recent weeks. I've been using the site since something like 2010, so I'm not about to leave it now!
