I had problems yesterday and today loading topics, but in the last hour or so I opened two or three threads at once and it might happen that one doesn't load and times out due to connectivity issues or some stuff.
When either likes/dislikes or algorithms enter the discussion - it becomes pointless in its core. Discussion is not the same as the vote poll. Like is not an argument and dislike is not a counter-argument.
+1
Now I'm not sure whether to take that as agreement or a joke
Personally, I think upvoting and downvoting can be really useful for factual Q&As and helping people find helpful answers to questions, but are awful when people are discussing opinions. I'd probably not mind just "likes" as much with no downvoting. But would not be a fan of introducing them here!
And thanks folks, for comments on potential sources of poor forum performance. I'll see if I can get any updates on the issues here from Larian in the course of this week. I'll admit I'm thinking if it's bad now, imagine how much worse it could be come August

I wasn't able to even load the site the last few days. I went to discuss the news on reddit, though I'd rather discuss with you guys and gals.

Sometimes I go to Reddit out of curiosity but I always make a pretty abrupt about-face.
As bad as it was yesterday, today the forum is smoother for me than it’s been in a long time.
On Reddit, you get downvoted, if you are not of the hive opinion. I was expressing, that I was sad that Helia was booted in favor of the Dark Urge and got downvoted. Not much fun tbh. I'd rather discuss here with people of different opinions, so hopefully, this forum will work better soon.
My experience has been that you get downvoted for how you express your opinion or because you didn't read the room correctly. If you hijack a post about some aspect of the game that people are happy about to tell everyone all the ways you think the game sucks you gonna get downvoted and you deserve it.
Language matters, and how you frame stuff matters. Reddit is a great teacher of how to be politic.
Oh and the forum is really struggling right now. Is somebody attacking you guys?
That is not what happened. It was an open discussion about PfH and I was polite. My experience with Reddit is, that you get downvoted to hell, if you have a different opinion from the majority. I see it Happen in other Reddit forums too. People don't engage, they just downvote 🤷.

That's Reddit in a nutshell, it's just a toxic echo chamber.

I dunno, I read this and started looking for the downvote button :P
Have you tried putting mustard on your face? You might get more Meow-Meow beans.

No, I don't like mustard 😛. Tbh I don't care about those downvoted, it was the first time, that happened to me and I was just surprised, because it wasn't something controversial.

The forum on my end is still running slow, it also takes a little long to connect to a page. Sometimes I will get a white screen with a connection error.
