GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

Some of you may have read that after the latest redesign, I finally decided to take my volunteering elsewhere.
I really tried using the guides and submitting but it was getting very frustrating to have to jump from one section to another, seeing useless info like rating of stars on the cast pages etc. Having to jump to the notes section to make sure that the editor doesn't put a note about a non appearing main cast. Since not every editor follow the same rule : some add all cast whether they appear or not, some only add those that do appear, it's too much of a hassle. I also never really like the new interface. Having to click on add after every addition is inconvenient.
Jaxie said we were heard loud and clear. Okay, that's cool but that doesn't mean anything. It doesn't even mean they will bring back all the info they took away. It just means they heard the complaints, that's all.
So, I moved to tvrage.com, and I'm submitting there. Of course, there are things that i miss: I cannot add crew stuff at the episode level and that really sucks. I'd really want to do that but the rest is much better : all the bugs we've been complaining about here (teleplay, story not showing on the episode overwiew, special guest stars not showing) all that is working fine there. Submissions are approved within a few hours of submitting (for editorless shows).
And when you report something, it is taken care of, pretty fast.

So if you want info on shows like greek, murdoch mysteries, life, bones, lie to me, harper's island and a few others, I'm submitting for them over there.
Mind you, if tv.com gets back all the info (minus the bug) I want and make the interface a little more user friendly, i'll probably come back here, i'll just share time between both sites

I share my time between both although I haven't been very active on either for a while. Life's been much too busy lately.

Hope you have fun there. I'm already overloaded with stuff so I don't know how much I can help.

Hope you have more fun there than I did: I'm not a fan of sitting on the outside of a clique. The low (and falling) vistor numbers there made adding data feel a complete waste of time (even more than sorting cast lists does here!) and I got sacked from the only guide I edited there after taking a couple of weeks off without permission.

I will be staying here. I tried tvrage.com and was the editor of 2 shows that I had added to their database. I went in the hospital and they took my guides away. When I explained what happened I was told "Not Our Problem." That was it. Nothing more. I guess I just don't fit in over there. Have fun and I hope things work out that you can spend more time here. Have a great week.

Everyone has been saying the same thing. But the thing is I do nto go after editorship, even here. So that's hardly going to happen to me. But I can see a trend :p
