that this forum can be as it is

I am so fucking sick of websites with their stupid fucking flash applications which break down after you spent 2 hours typing something. What the fuck is the point of having stupid fancy boxes and prompts that animate. It's this sick twisted irony that these functions to "save" your web page will just cause it to melt down, the internet doesn't even want you to try to be productive. A text box and a button, hell I can even code that in notepad. That's how it's been done for decades now and it works just great but people decide they want to update their sites because, I don't know, maybe they think if they don't it means their website will fade into obscurity because it doesn't have useless functions for people who feel that their internet browser has to have some fucking star cruiser interface.
A text box, a few buttons and the ability to embed an image. That covers everything from chat, to zonk machines, to essays, to porn. There's not much hope for this stupid facebook generation of the Internet but we can strive to keep the D*A*M forum like it is.

It's my own fault for not copy & pasting into a word document... such a bush-league mistake but that doesn't invalidate anything I said

I see your point , I've been there. Feature creep is just a normal part of life, endless, usually mindless updates that the powers that be decide we need. I take 90 percent bad to get the ten percent good that makes my life actually really great.
I know I've taken it to a far broader point than your original rant, seems all related though.

One part of progress that really pisses me off is the proprietary planned obsolescence that Apple and all these other companies do. I like open source , I wish companies would spend just a little more on making platforms rear-generational for at least a few more cycles than they do. now, hardware outlasts software. I have a first gen ipad that works great but hasn't had updates available for two years, almost nothing works on it, including YouTube, which just phased it out this year.

Call me old, but this shit could work a lot better than it does. Can't wait for Apple to go obselete. it has finally begun to erode. I have to constantly remind myself that average person just wants to be told what they want, the latest shiny shitty object is exactly perfect for them.
