I rarely read the related posts. What I do like from time to time (not nearly every day or even every week) are the player pages, a fairly new feature that is interesting to see which other blogs discuss a player.

let me guess, you tried to use your omnipotent Mod powers to delete them but you couldn’t!!!! i love it!!!

My brain regards them as advertisements and I seldom even “see” them. I agree with Norsk — they’re mostly there for the SBN sites with sparse content. They do help fill up space . . .

But I don’t feel very strongly about it.

I never use them. I just get annoyed that they get bumped to the top of the sidebar at inexplicable times. I can never tell when I click on a post whether they’ll pop up or not. As far as I’m concerned, though, if SBN wants to waste server time adding that in, it’s their loss. They won’t get my clicks though.

What I’m more concerned about is the auto-tagging that they talked about in the new Fanpost editor they just released. I don’t really like tags on a site like this, mostly because they’re inconsistently applied and never really get me to what I’m looking for. I prefer the search tool because I like the control I have. What I’m mostly worried about is that they’re just going to go ahead and tag things without me wanting them to. I don’t like cluttered posts, and having a web program just go ahead and mess with my html doesn’t sit right. I emailed them, but haven’t heard back yet. Jorga, if you’ve got some mod sway, let them know to keep their fingers out of our posts unless we ask.

don’t really read them, just scroll by them

lol… I would like…… for the title text to be smaller for the posts. like the size of the author, and the number of comments just taken out….. and the size for the recommended fanpost increased by 5 bringing it to a total of 10….

I think that would put a band aid on the critical mass tha’d be building (the edge is nearing)
