Woohoo! I can't wait to see the new GTP! Thanks so much for all the hard work you've put in, Jordan, I hope everything goes smoothly.

I don't get the point though, it's not like anyone cares to see them over and over again.

This. All they do is detract from each post. In some cases the sigs are so obnoxious on other sites, it makes it a chore just to locate the actual post text through all the clutter.

I'm thankful that GTP isn't like some of those other forums in that regard. Along with many others here.
 
Just wanted to add that of all the features that are being scrapped, I have to say it's a shame the current Premium profile formatting is one of the casualties. Especially since many Premiumites have spent hours customising them. Same goes for larger profile pictures.

Right now it sounds like all profiles will look the same. Unless there are any new Premium features coming that will be listed post-update?
 
So you're saying that the classic GTplanet format will be gone? Man. I guess it's time to get rid of the old and bring in the new. I'll miss it. How long has it been since the last major update?

Two years.
 
I have seen other forums, and by far this is the most organized I've seen, kudos to Jordan to keep it that way.

I can see other forums implementing signatures with pictures, font, even video embedded in signatures, and all it does is clutter everything, you have no idea of what you're reading.

GTP keeps a clean, organized and accessible structure, in the way threads are organized, displayed and how the site performs given the server load it handles.

Unlike many, I am looking forward to this new version of GTP which aims to keep everything even more simplistic and organized, given the amount of text data that the site handles and the volume of input data that goes at every minute, it is better to have a simple structure and layout.

Can not wait, good luck Jordan
 
Looking forward to it, hope everything goes smoothly. Your hard work is appreciated, Jordan. 👍
 
Two hours or so, yes.

No. No no no. You're just trying to scare me, right? :nervous:

After playing with the new version enough, I really can't wait for everybody to see it. Jordan's really out-done himself on it, and it'll only strengthen the community 👍
 
The various GTA forums I visit lately are just the type of forums I would never register on. All the mentioned clutter is there. The same videos, pictures and other horrible signature filling after every post is just awful.

Most of them are barely readable on a phone.

Keep up the good work, Jordan. And keep it tidy!
 
Well it's getting late here. In the morning the new site should, touch wood, be rolled out and my app will stop working so I'll see y'all on the flip side.

Hope all goes smoothly, Jordan!
 
I can't wait to see the new GTPlanet! Wishing you the best of luck with the transition, Jordan!
 
Good luck with a smooth and short transition Jordan. I wanna see it before i fall asleep:dopey:.
 
I desperately need someone to convince me to go to sleep and not stay up until 3 or 4 AM waiting for the new GTP. I'm so excited!

I still hold the "They Changed It, Now It Sucks" reaction about the site change. :indiff:

Way to judge it before you've even seen it. :rolleyes:

Yes, it looks different.
Yes, it will take some getting used to.
Yes, some of you will still complain that you like the old one better.

But after playing with it a bit, it's really starting to grow on me. Especially as I view GTPlanet on so many different platforms, having the same layout on each rocks.

I say bring it on, Jordan. It's going to be awesome. Different at first, but awesome. :cheers:
 
Rather like te current format, so this will be interesting. .i also wouldn't mind small images in sigs. Ah well. Can't wait. Hope there's more stuff to play with lol.
 
If we ever have pictures in signatures. If a moderator doesn't like the size or anything about a picture said moderator should be able to ask for it to be removed. Personally I like pictures in signatures as long as they're not large and obnoxious.

We can already do that with signatures and avatars - except we don't have to ask.

Jordan's stance on image sigs has been mentioned a few times over the years, and it's always been consistent. Not sure why people hold out hope for an uglier, more cluttered alternative :P.

(EDIT) And on that note - see you all on the other side :)
