The Giant Bomb Website Memorial

For all the quests, the achievement tracking, the chat, the posts, the polls, the images and the visual style that didn't make the jump to Web X.0.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

Never forget.

Achievement tracking, I miss you ._.

Wow the new site is just too compressed.. I can't tell the borders between your pictures and I dunno where your post ends and the background begins. This sucks.

What I miss is the 10 most recent topics at the bottom. I never really used the Forums main page, just scrolled down and bam!, I was right in it. Well, modern times are here I guess.

My main complaint.

I miss the old site, generally. When that design rolled in, the only things that really bothered me was that everything was a tiny bit too big at the beginning, but that got scaled back quickly and that I lost the blog feed, but the people who's blogs I cared about stopped making them anyway.

This one, I don't like. But at least it works better than I expected or experienced in the beta, although there's still some sluggishness, but that'll probably get settled in the coming days.

The forums are indeed what took the most beating in the transition. Everything else looks pretty smooth now.

I haven't closed my tabs from last night... I don't handle change well :P

The new site is poorly designed, don't know why they felt they had to make such a big change from the last design, everything worked how it should.

I feel this redesign is the jump from Windows 7 to Windows 8, everything is flashier but it takes more clicks to do what you want.

Achievements and forum tracking on front page is what I miss the most. Quests not so much.

Good night, sweet prince.

Farewell, you son of a bitch. </3

Anyone else going to miss HTML5 theater? Cause I will.

@dungbootle: Namaste.

I actually really like the new site! Crazy, I know!

Rest in Peace, old Giant Bomb design. Though you may have been eaten by a vicious sea serpent, we shall never forget.

NEVER FORGET!

I already miss it...

Makes you realize how floaty the old site was. Everything's all jam packed together now. Overall liking the new site though.

NEVER forgot front page forums

I HATE THE NEW MOBILE SITE, I WANT THE OLD ONE BACK.

Yep. It the main way I interacted with the forums. Rest in peace, Site Activity block.

I prefer to think of it as Web 20XX.

Also there is no way in this world or any other, that I have nearly the same post count as @capum15.

Lest we forget the front page forums. The part of the site which made me discover the forums right away.

Absolutely agree.

These forums are an absolute eyesore.

ABSOLUTE.

The forums need some work. A third of my page is empty once I get past the forums tab at the top. I think I'm ok with most of the rest, but that is a major problem for me, especially when using the site not full screened.

I really wish they would have kept achievement tracking! I actually used that! I'm fine with the quests going away, because that was definitely a fad for users and the staff it seemed.

TRIVIA! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Out with the old, in with the new. I am liking change, for once.

Never forget.

I miss being able to download off of my phone...where the heck has that gone??? :( Really sad here

The site is dead. Long live the site!

fyi folks,

dave replied on my rant thread and said they will tackle that issues like that later, they are making the site stable first which yea im sure we can all agree that is the priority atm.

RIP

I dunno guys, remember the original launch Giant Bomb? That shit was crazy, and they overhauled it after only a couple of weeks.

I am indifferent, the look of the pages isn't why I come here.

Cool to see all this stuff archived. You served us well old Giant Bomb.

We should get a thread that shows all GB site changes over the years.

This is the only remnant of my glory to the community to survive the Seaserpent's wrath:

The suave, daring, unrivaled King of Video Games. He is on an EROTIC quest to see if lesbians indeed have the goods. BEWARE, the Moon.

Okay, to be fair I should have said functional Coming Up Box. You know, the one that's less annoying to read and actually displays things in your timezone.

Well, it's getting half fixed for you, at the very least, next week!

Bring it back.

Remember this?

Or better yet, this?

Then there's this...

The memories!

Jeez, it's hard to believe that the site's only been around for 5 years. Seems like it's been around forever.

10 years from now, I will be proud to say that I was with Giant Bomb from the very beginning.
