So I got to poking around with the new forum deal and the first thing that struck me was the 'like' button. I have lurked around forums with features like this and CCP is heading down the hershey highway. Thats right. Forums with features like this turn into narcisistic circle-jerking yaywagons and drive level headed ppl away in revulsion at the thought of jumping in the yaypile.
This is already a natural tendancy of the internets and encouraging it and bringing it to eve is a bad idea.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of ccp's facebookish social networking-online aspirations and while its great business sense to suck ppl in and continue to further blur the lines of RL and drive to integrate a product into ppl's day-to-day RL routines I though eve was different.
It's already involving enough. Forget GBTWOW, EVE devs need to GBTFACEBOOK with their evil coniverings.

Originally by: Mirabi Tiane How is the behavior you describe, TipsyMcStagger, worse than the rampant trolling that already exists?
At least now ppl r mostly anonymous and the occasional time some narci-wallower links a photo etc. and you mouse over and instead of linking to tinypic etc its on their blog and you have a chance to move on b4 having to go shower their mental love-juice off imagine that kinda stuff which is on the periphreal being the focus, not just forums, but ingame eventually.
And I picked out the 'like' button as a 'tl;dr; one small symptom, evidence of much more to come plus I havent investigated further yet I already know what theyr up too.
Eve-facebook-online. Its coming.

Originally by: Centri Sixx Change the like button to a "gank" button.
If 10 are reached, current ship of the poster is blown up. Instant fix to the economy and civility, all in one. Much more in the spirit of EVE.
I have 11 alt slots

How bout CCP use all their time and energy doing something REALLY cool.
I want to be able to mod, tweak, and soup up my spaceship Gran-Turismo style. Thats a natural progression that shoulda came along years ago, if anything is dinosaur it's not the forums its the spaceships were forced to predictably cookiecut fit
They have all the depth and complexity of a 90's nintendo game.
