It's silly of me to post to a dead thread, but I don't know where else to go! It's just that I really, really miss NerdWorld! I eagerly read it every day from the very beginning, though I rarely posted, but I loved the strong personal voice Lev gave it, and especially the familiar community of posters. I really hoped I could find at least some remnants of that on TechLand, but it's just not there. I understand that expanding to TechLand was the better business decision, and I do enjoy some of the content, but I needed to vent in some kind of public forum about what I feel I've lost. Sorry if I sound melodramatic:-/

Lev, I feel betrayed. You wrote, "I cannot stress enough: I will be writing exactly the same crap I was writing before. IT will just be somewhat encrusted with other stuff AROUND it, including tech reviews."

You should have written, "I cannot stress enough: I will be writing exactly the same crap I was writing before. You just won't be able to find it because it will be dwarfed by endless crap written by lots of other people who you don't know. We're planning on flooding the blog with so much content that it will be virtually impossible for any sense of community to develop."

For me, Techland rolled a nat 1. Sorry, Lev

[...] Welcome to TECHLAND. If you're joining us from our previous perch over at Lev's Nerd World blog then expect to see a lot of the same thing, but on a much larger scale. I know. It's different, unfamiliar and somewhat frightening. We're creatures of comfort and steer clear of change if we can help it but this is something different and special. Contrary to popular belief and what our name evokes, TECHLAND isn't just about tech. Long story. You can read about it over here. [...]

Geekiness is more than tech. I am very bummed at this.

Techland does sound pretty: *yawn*.

A quick google search identified Techland as a polish video game developer. Hopefully you arent planning on expanding Techland into the .pl registry any time soon.

I think they're planning on keeping the bouncy page loading around, to make sure all the regulars feel at home in the new page.

This move means an end to the bouncy page loading, yes?
