			<description><![CDATA[I knew that when visiting senschirp, the only thing i would see is the latest sens info, right there on top right in my face and nothing else. I do still see that here, but the overall "feeling" is a little less "insider info, small community" and now is more "mish mash of stuff i don't quite have an interest in staying on this site for / turning into some professional media organization" The one thing that this site excelled at was the quick, up to the minute insider info about the Sens. I'm not necessarily here for all sorts of senators fun & games multimedia, photos, videos etc. I'll go to the sens site for that. If you can deliver that better than someone else, then maybe its a good idea, but the more that's offered here and if it's delivered not as well as an enterprise-leve l site (if video takes 1 second longer to load than somewhere else) then that may just be hurting the site.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The fact that now people have to click twice as opposed to once to view popup comments for example - you'd be surprised how much of an effect that will have on your traffic. Very small things like that have to be considered in the world of high traffic websites. What it boils down to is that the familiarity of the old site with thousands and thousands of people is gone and people have to start from scratch. I don't believe the traffic dip is because of the sens season, i think it's because of this site, and I am definitely one of the fringe users that visit the site less now. I can't say why, but i do. It's almost too much for me.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I can tell this site is Joomla-based using the K2 component which is fine but my experience with Joomla is that it tends to be slow sometimes for no apparent reason.. certain modules perhaps. Troublesome with mobile compatibility as well, I guess that also depends on the mobile template. The design is pretty good, no disrespect to the company or designer, but if you have a website that may get 10's of thousands of monthly unique visitors, such a drastic change is too much to not expect a dip in traffic. The process should be like surgery before making a switch like this. If a switch was desired, I would have kept the old site (I know it was blogger or some free blog type) but at least reform the new site on a different system that functioned exactly the same way, then slowly start changing things and building on what worked.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Not a common poster here, but i am going to give my best opinion as to why this design change was a mistake. Myself, a fringe SensChirp user that never posts, have found that I am visiting this website way less after the design switch. The beauty of the old site was its simplicity and compatibility.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm not really sure I get this. The article is still there without the comments. Am I understanding correctly that if the entire article appeared on the home page then it would be ok? Is it that extra click that people are having issue with? I know it sounds silly, but the extra click does make a difference. You want to have the most important feature of this website up front and visible as soon as someone loads up your page. In the old version we not only had that, but we could also scroll down and see the 2nd most recent blog in full. The information was all there without the reader having to do anything. I thik a hybrid of the old and new models would work well.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'd have the old site and new site running at the same time for a few months (both with the same daily blog updates). See which one gets more hits and stick with that one. I support the new site and know that it will be a hit once all the kinks are worked out. It's great to see Chirp taking such an interest in our suggestions and comments.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Never commented on the old site, but the new layout bugs me so I have to now. It looks nice, but it's slow to read anything. The main page is useless and I have to click through to read a new post. Even reading from the blog page is a pain because the whole post doesn't show up unless you click through and it loads a bit slowly. I'd rather have full blog posts up front, and a separate button to click to read comments if I want.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I frequently visited the site before the change, but find I don't bother anymore as it feels more difficult. A few users have mentioned it but this minor thing is enough to deter. I understand trying to create a whole social environment but the previous version allowed those interested in more informed opinions to easily view without all the comments.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm also a fan of the new website. It is a bit slower than the old though. For those who prefer the old SensChirp, is there a way to host both the new and old website versions at the same time. Pretty much, whenever you make an update to the new site, it automatically updates the old site (daily blog and comment section). This way, users who prefer the old senschirp can read your blogs and post comments that will appear on both the old and new Senschip. Regarding the forum, I think YOU should create 5 different thread topics each week and give prizes to the users that post the best comments related to the thread topic. Doing this will limit taking traffic away from your daily blogs and encourage users to use the forums for free tickets. Finally, the grey on grey (when you update some comments on your daily blog posts) are hard to read.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What's the problem with the RSS feeds? I use Google Reader and don't have any problems that I can see. As long as the site is very mobile friendly/fast (I use a BB and Android device) I'm a happy camper. You should get a mobile app made for iPhone and Android. That would be sweet!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I really do like the new site, I think it's been needed for a while to separate you from the rest of those knuckleheads out there. The only one major thing is that with my slow internet I'd rather not have to click read more to read the latest post. I think maybe having the most recent post be full would be beneficial to all us slow internetters. And also be able to click on it to see the post, again with the comments... but yeah i dunno i may be the only one that wants that. just seems simpler to me that way and i like simple and easy. And I am sure that me, alike others, have been aware from your page more since march began due to tarde deadline coming and going. nothing to be excited to come to the site for until playoffs are over.. :( we win, wooopi doo, closer to a less great player, we lose, son of a bitch i wouldve liked to see a win. so yeahhhhh good job dude and lookin forward to travis' appearance when he finally heads over!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Love the change Chirp! Wasn't expecting a refresh of the mobile version of the site too. Great addition. My only strong suggestion as a designer is to change the Blue colour on the header on the mobile site and change the orange to red! The rest of the "kinks" will work themselves out over time. Overall, love it!!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Chirp, Few comments about the new site; I agree with one poster that mentioned something along the lines of "less is more".... I don't really see the point in having a "Featured Story" section since it is just the latest story and availabe at the top of the "Latest Posts" section anyways. You could also add the "Highlights/Pic tures" thing to a pull down menu at the top of the page, and use all that extra real estate to make your logo bigger (I think it should be about 10x as big :) ) I think it would just unclutter the home page a bit...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Chirp, I still visit daily, but less often since there is less to discuss. I do find that I barely read the comments these days. Much harder to read than before and much harder to speed read through when catching up. My suggestions: bigger font, change font color/backgroun d. Most importantly for me: have fewer words per line by having a bigger font, narrower comment box or both. This makes speed reading through the comments much easier and less time consuming.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm not a "change is bad" kind of guy, but the thing I loved most about the old senschirp was the simplicity. The new site has the same content, but in a much more jumbled and hard to read format. I find the gray on gray on another gray hard to read, especially while scrolling through. I don't visit nearly as often as I used to, and its only because of the new format. geoff]]></description>

I rarely posted on the old site (and this is my first on the new site), but I still check every day. However, it has not been a big priority in my day since the trade deadline. We're playing out the string and there just isn't much in SensLand that's newsworthy (IMO). My interest has shifted back to actually watching the games! We're competitive nearly every night and the games are exciting, even if we are getting a few more wins than we'd really like right now.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Let me preface this by saying: love the new format, love the forum, especially love the comment rating buttons and anxiously awaiting the addition of Yost. It's the small things that are a bit off, easily amended...the "Be the first to comment" button doesn't change regardless of how many comments there are. The oft cited comment per page capacity/refres h issues are a bit annoying, easier direct access to the blog, maybe via short url "www.senschirp/ mainblog"...and I would love some better sorting options in the forum...sort by most recently updated, most comments, etc. I can just see the topic list getting overwhelming very soon. And what about an open chat sesh all the time so whether or not administrators want to liveblog a game, we can do it ourselves. Otherwise it's all good, keep it up chirp, the numbers will bounce back.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey Senschirp. I KNOW WHY YOUR TRAFFIC IS DOWN. I use a news aggregator site: Netvibes. It's similar to igoogle and other single page aggregators. It relies on RSS feeds to pull in content. And the deal is simple, I see a new headline on your site, I click through and arrive at the content on your page. But, with RSS broken, I never see new headlines and only occasionally pop by to check things out. I've gone from visiting your site for EVERY new article, to visiting once a week. And, I suspect I'm not the only user to use RSS. Multiply my type of use by a couple of donzen and you might find why traffic is low.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I like the visual appeal of the new site, but I miss the simplicity of the old site. Previously - I was in and out several times a day. Now I have to really stare at the screen to figure out if there has been anything new posted. From a visual viewpoint, here is some feedback: - I like picture to the right of the main post but does it ever change? It's a lot of real estate to always be the same thing. - Your RECENT POSTS and your SENSCHIRP BLOG show the same thing by default: the most recent posts. That's kind of redundant and a waste of real estate. Why not default the SENSCHIRP BLOG to show COMMENTS instead? That way the two side-by-side columns are showing complementary yet different content. That's it for now. Thanks for asking. Good luck.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Chirp, I don't think your new look here has any issues, I like the new looks, Now that all the comments can be read at once its all good, and with multiple blogs to read eve3ntually your traffic can only go up - I think a lot of the downswing in traffic lately is probably.....ME , I've had a busy couple of weeks at work which probably cost you a good 500 hits. Don't worry, the outlook is better next week lol! In all seriousness though, there's just not much else to discuss at the moment, we're all just watching the games and every game is the same - fun to watch, same guys performing well, same basic stuff. Plus a lot of what we DO have to discuss has been beaten to death at this point - i.e. potential draft picks, standings, UFA targets, etc. I think we'll all be here chatting about the playoffs when that comes.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I completely agree, the simplicity of the old site was its best feature. Having the entire post available as soon as the page loaded is something that should have been kept. Would it work to make "home" a combination of Chirp/Yost? Other than that, just need to fix the grey-on-grey in the pop-up comments - are you trying to make me go blind?! Seriously though, I love how the pop-up comments kept their previous simplicity - they just need to be accessible in one click. A couple more tweaks and this site will be back to the 400+ comments at key times.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Put it this way, on the old site someone would have only one place to say what they want, and now they can just create a thread and draw traffic away from the main blog. The main improvements needed are an identity formulated thumbs up/ thumbs down "like" system, and a modified forum section using one of the tips I stated in the previous post. I think most people agree that removing the "comment pages" was already a huge step in the right direction. I also LOVE the comment character limit, really removed some pointless rants that I do not want to skim through.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Chirp, the forums are a great idea, but there should only be a certain number allowed active based on popularity. Say you allow ten threads per week, you can then delete the five with the lowest amount of traffic or something like that. Or you can even just make the forum exclusive for yourself, meaning only you can create the topics. You can have quick polls to decide new topics and from there you can meet the people's demands. I think the idea that people can constantly make new threads in the forums and talk there removed a LOT of normal traffic. So I think you either need a limit on the number of threads, or leave for yourself to come up with. Thanks.]]></description>

For some reason for the headings to be all in lower case just bothers me do not know why but other than that awesome job]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You know that I'm a big fan of your newesrt Website, and I truly believe that it is much more flexible than your old site. See that you have eliminated the 25 comments per page , by letting it run ad infinitum ! Improvements are always welcomed, and patience is rewarded in the long run .]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Yea we may have to reassess the forums moving forward. A reader poll likely being the best way to determine direction there. I really do think the decrease in comments has to do with a lack of topics to discuss but we'll find out as we move forward. What happened on some of those huge comment days is it was four or five people going back and forth more than anything. I've noticed a lot of new names popping up and I see that as a positive.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Couple changes you'll notice already. We have dropped comment pages completely. Keeps things a little more simple. Have also changed the rating system for that it's only available to registered users. And while I dont have an IPhone, we have made a couple tweaks on that as well. Also told that they are working on a more Blackberry friendly version as well :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Johne is probably right about the forums. What always attracted me to the old site, more than anything, was the lively debate on various subjects. If you have everyone commenting in different spots about different things, something is lost. Save for about 1 day (maybe), the comment section has been a total bore since the switch. That being said, there isn't really much to talk about right now (so it's hard to say).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I must say I really like the iPhone version of senschirp and unlike alot of others I like the fact that you have a starting page which doesn't have the comments and shows a snip it of what you're talking about. If there has been 2 or 3 posts since i last checked then i can see what i want to read. It works really well for the iphone and enjoy the cleanliness of it. I think you have a good redo going on chirp and it will take some time for people to get used to it, but keep it up!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I have to agree with the posts about the forum, forum driven websites have the users creating the content and users commenting on the user generated content. I think this is a total 180 from what you do Chirp. You are the source of information and people should be commenting on that. Not to say that you don't value the users input as I've seen you countless times add user comments to the main article and you even source them. I think if people have the desire for forums they can find that @ hfboards, this is a totally different delivery of content and I think I'm not alone when people here have chosen articles or forums, not sure theres anyone that does both. I tried to do both and it drove me mad. just my honest two cents as you know I'm always willing to give :D]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I like the new look. It took a bit of getting used to but it's fine. It also works on my BB but I've read that others are having issues. I think the posts have decreased primarily because it was released post trade deadline. With the Sens out of the playoffs and the trade deadline behind us people are just focusing on other things. However, the real test will come when we get closer to the draft. I think you'll once again notice the 400 or so posts/day we were getting used to. Keep it up.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The site is definitely slower than it was before. I have a suggestion: In your pop up comments, have your blog article as comment #0. And put a pop-up button of the comments section of the featured on the homepage in the section "Featured article" That way, we get a really quick way to click a pop-up that lets us read your daily post, and the comments, in a simple, easy to load page. To make the site even more simple to use, have this pop-up page on a specific site like "www.senschirp. ca/featured" or something. This way, you can just book mark that page, and people can use it EXACTLY like the old site! People who like taking advantage of the new site can visit the normal senschirp, and people who are here to just visit to read the article and zip through the daily comments can go to the other address. Maybe have a link like that for Yost as well when he gets here. What do you guys think?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Well no I think it is a nice feature, but the idea of leaving it to members only is a great one. What you should do Chirp is have a facebook "like" system where you can see who votes up or votes down. That way you can see who agrees and who doesn't agree by looking at who gave that person a thumbs up or thumbs down. People tend not to do stupid things when they will get called out for it, just an idea. I agree with this guy, makes a ton of sense]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I agree about simplicity, if you have your most recent story in full pop up on the homepage without having to click anywhere I think that would help a whole lot. Same goes for comment pages, 200 + is a must. I personally love the new tabs with promos, contact and when TY starts contributing I think you'll have a ton more views. I'd like to see full came highlights like the ones you can get on tsn, nhl or espn.com, not just the last goal of the game. Stats would be nice, like sens team or player records, prospect reports, season and playoff stats, maybe even a video section with goals and fights and stuff, but in all i'd just love to come here and get all my sens info and stuff - everything sens like a #1 sens source! It's still early, overall i like where things are going]]></description>

Traffic should definitely still be in the 100+ posts a day though, so it's either people are too lazy to take the 2 extra clicks to comment, or like people said the +/- is hurting some egos.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Im liking the new site for sure, and I'm also anxiously awaiting Yost's first post. One thing i noticed is when you go to the homepage it says "be the first to comment" even though there could be 50+ posts. If this could be something like "Comment now (# of comments)" i think this would be an improvement. Other than that I think it brings a classier image than the blogger format. Makes you seem more credible and legitimate for people who may be first timers on the site.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Good feedback as always folks. Really interesting to see so many different names coming up. We'll go back to the drawing board and try to get things to where they need to be. Nobody said this would be a "quick rebuild" :)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think the main thing is that we want this site to be a little faster, that was the best thing from the old chirp. Chirp you should have your stories appear on the home page without having to click on them, I have a slow PC at work and it takes forever to load up.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I already mentioned it but I'll just say it one more time for emphasis. It's 2011 and nobody in this day and age wants to wait 30 seconds for anything. Traffic will drop massively if you don't sort out the latency issues with the site. When posting a comment I regularly have to click submit/send 3-5 times and then wait 30 seconds to see if it actually works. Half the time it gets stuck and I have to reload the site in another tab to see if it got posted. I have a high end PC with high end internet so that's not the issue. I'm a regular poster so I'm waiting through those annoying delays but even I'm posting less because of them. Casual people will see the problems and not come back, guaranteed.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[my favourite thing about senschirp was the simplicity. Sometimes more is worst. I liked to load the site real fast and see all the stories laid out there that is why i used to come to senschirp instead of going to other sites. Chirp you should make the site simpler as it takes too much time to load.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[5. Multi-page comment system is ugly and also slow loading. 6. You can't see your own +/- and there is no running total leaderboard feature which takes the fun out of it. I want to collect -10000 :). 7. In general I just think the new site is ugly. Given the time it took to create I question the web designers skills. This site looks like something a grade 11 student in programming class could have vomited out on his lunch break with time to spare. 8. It told me my comment was too long even though it was still under the character limit.]]></description>
