    I've never seen such a successful site implode so quickly.

    Somebody has lost the plot and messes up at every turn.
    This was a community and the recent events have proved that it wasnt a community.

    A vote on the belts would have been cool.
    Would you like the belts relaced with stupd crappy logos?
    Yes?no?

    I am learning from all this though.
    I am gunna write a book on it.
    It is titled `The decline of SeoChat`

    In a few years we will all be saying `do you remember seochat?`
    and it will be like `yeah,, the good old days`

    Yeah `shame it is so bad now`.

    It's funny. When they first intoruduced the belts, noone wanted them. Now, people get upset because they didn't.

    I gotta say that I wasn't a fan of the karate belts and am even less bullish on the current setup. Why not just show the right hand info (post #, reputation, rep power)?

    • Wit → agrees: I like the new pix better, but they are just as distracting and unnecessasy as the belts. Then again, what do I care LOL

    Are these changes really necessary ? Just when I got used of neglecting the belts, there is a new horde round the corner...
    Cygnys is right, right hand info + avatar are enough.

    Added afterwards... when I put mouse over that thing it says I'm a "SC novice"... this is hilarious since I'm one of the few *active* members from early days of SC... lol...

    If somebody does that, I'll provide a "2K certified SEO" badge. It should provide hours of fun since I tend to write more than one liners... lol...

    damn... this one was a one liner (but not any more)...

    It hasn't really been answered yet...why the change?

    If the board really wants to use something, then create something that takes into account # of posts, length of membership and rep power -- at least then you'll have a metric that might mean something.

    Now I have to learn to ignore this one too...
