When they fix the server issues and it speeds up, I'm going to ask my casual player friends to check it out and give me comments. - TFox Oct 21, 14:32 3
- I still played a lot, but I don't see myself playing if this is what they are offering -- nm - Gwaahjo Oct 21, 14:34
- Ask WeeFox and his friends - ty97 Oct 21, 14:34
- why ask your friends to check it out? do you hate them? - dogbert183 Oct 21, 14:34

  - I saw it in beta and hated it. -- nm - Stacy Oct 21, 14:35

- Good luck with that, Mr. Survivalist -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 21, 14:33
- Someone should write a song..... -- nm - TaurusII Oct 21, 14:31
Please make the video ads stop. -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 14:29
I'm a movie mogul? What's that? -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:28 8
- How *you* doin'? -- nm - TaurusII Oct 21, 14:33
- rating based on port size. -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 14:29
- I assume you have a big port. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:29
- Going to sue for trademark infringment. -- nm - H-Mogul Oct 21, 14:29 2
  - do it! -- nm - dogbert183 Oct 21, 14:30

- you want to put an enema in yourself? -- nm - what loosi heard Oct 21, 14:28 1
  - nm= No message -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:29
I have a full on hatey rage going for the "improved" HSX -- nm - sgtmike Oct 21, 14:26 1
- You are far from alone on this. It is the worst design possible. -- nm - not2fast Oct 21, 14:28
To Mr. Razorhawk - Trish Oct 21, 14:25 6
- Baby you got the biggest - H-Mogul Oct 21, 14:35
- To Mrs/Ms/Miss? Trish - RazorHawk Oct 21, 14:33 1
  - you know something that I'm really respecting right now ... - zork Oct 21, 14:35
- wow, that peanut butter trick really works! -- nm - zork Oct 21, 14:33
- Happy Birthday! I see HSX gave you a really special present. - BB Oct 21, 14:27
- Happy Birthday! -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:25
Those boards are terrible....they'll take a long time to get used to -- nm - J Oct 21, 14:25 2
- there is no getting used to it -- nm - Gwaahjo Oct 21, 14:28
- why would you go there? i think for movie news it will work - each thread can be a topic/film title, but MISC is useless. ST for me! -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 14:25
i think the new site looks worse overall... is that really the stocktracker they are using? - Die Incognito Oct 21, 14:24
Yup. There it is. Stacked forums (phpBB style). Sorry HSX, you abandoned your community before they abandoned you. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:24 6
- i really cant imagine the benefit of that style -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 21, 14:25 5
  - I never got why they were "better." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 14:30 1
    - it's better if you are hunting for a specific topic. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:31
  - It's informative. Useful for data aggregation such as Home Theater Forum (where they use vBulletin). It's not a discussion board. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:29 2
    - welll, I guess it's a discussion board, but it's not a chat board. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:30 1
      - That's a fair assessment. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:31
BUY MOVIE TICKETS!! BY LOCATION!!! nm - Jovian Oct 21, 14:21
ergh, the shorts aren't in red -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 14:21 10
- This whole changeover smacks of disorganization and lack of foresight. - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 14:23 4
  - I doubt the "big" decisions were made by anybody that had any direct knowledge of the game itself. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 14:31
  - not to mention, a large committee of suits. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:28 1
    - Yeah, that's a given. A room full of egos, no one willing to back down, so they all "compromised" on the lamest option. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 14:31
  - and their entire site was down for a full week... that's the telltale sign. :) -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 21, 14:25
- and you can't sort by today's change... i hate it.. the portfolios are complete crap... not to mention getting the mouse on the scroller is annoying -- nm - Gwaahjo Oct 21, 14:22 4
  - Do they even have a today's change column? I didn't see it. -- nm - pmb Oct 21, 14:24 1
    - haha yeah seriously! what the ef -- nm - Gwaahjo Oct 21, 14:29
  - doesnt help that it is like font size 7. nm - Jovian Oct 21, 14:23
  - That was my number one comment in the beta too: they got so excited by new toys, they forgot about the actual game. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 14:22
for everyone who has asked 1,000 times... type WWW.hsx.com - Gwaahjo Oct 21, 14:18 1
- www.hellhole gets you there as well -- nm - Loyola Oct 21, 14:19
Something positive about the new HSX? Please? - Mop Oct 21, 14:18 28
- It's like one giant-sized Facebook app now. So, if you like Facebook apps ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 14:24
- There are lots of ads, imparting valuable information about products and services. -- nm - Callisto Oct 21, 14:23
- People half our age will love the new design -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 14:23 10
  - will people half our age be interested in a stock market? -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:27
  - I dont agree. I dont see how this POS attracts anyone. nm - Jovian Oct 21, 14:25
  - See, I don't agree at all. I'm not just going to assume that b/c I don't like it, people who aren't like me will like it. - TFox Oct 21, 14:23 7
    - for me it's not even about like/dislike. It doesn't do the job it was built to do. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:28
    - yeah, it makes me wonder a little if they did any real usability studies beyond the beta testing. -- nm - Callisto Oct 21, 14:27 5
      - Aren't you supposed to have people in-house wih basic familiarity to catch the obvious stuff... - TFox Oct 21, 14:29 4
        
        when the budget is tight, testing is the first thing to go, which is stupid but true. - loosilu Oct 21, 14:32 3
        
        But some of this is almost so obvious as to not need formal testing. Log in and say "WTF, my port is fucked up". -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 14:34 1
        
        yeah, that's how I know the marketing department won. they don't care. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:37
        
        I thought QA would be a dream job. Ha! -- nm - David Oct 21, 14:34
- It will be not be an effective tool for NAMBLA recruitment. - BB Oct 21, 14:22 1
  - You "schmooze" you lose? -- nm - Qale Oct 21, 18:40
- It easily makes up my mind for which forum I'll use moving forward. -- nm - David Oct 21, 14:21 3
  - They brought back Virtual Producer. As "Movie Mogul". How's that? -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:22 1
    - That's not Virtual Producer, in either its original form or its HSX bastardization form -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 21, 14:24
  - ya think nm - Jovian Oct 21, 14:22
- you can't sort by anything,.. it's all alphabetical.. - Gwaahjo Oct 21, 14:20 1
  - I like alphabetical. It's... uh... alphabetastic. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:21
- Heh - I think that's all you'll get for a bit. You know how we all love change... ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 14:20
- Yellow is gone. To be replaced by universal orange. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:20
- I don't have to use it to talk to you guys. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:20
- Uhm, the blog stuff works fine, aside from not respecting newline characters. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:20 1
  - I really don't need a new social network. - Mop Oct 21, 14:21
- no fraskal posts yet? - dogbert183 Oct 21, 14:19
- Nick Fudge will have to use it? -- nm - Stewie Griffin Oct 21, 14:19
"If you still have to install Drupal, proceed to the installation page." - dogbert183 Oct 21, 14:17 5
- "To wipe the Database, press F10" -- nm - budice Oct 21, 14:18 1
  - L3 -- nm - Epiphany Oct 21, 14:20
- No! You don't have to. That's a message to the server administrator. Ignore it. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:18 2
  - It's crazy to leave that message there though... -- nm - Guigue Oct 21, 14:20 1
    - SlickerTalk has some pretty odd messages, at times - however, that's a one-man hobby project, so it's at least excusable. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:31
You can earn H$ by playing little games too. It's not much, but it just dilutes the challenge of the game. It's frikkin' Neopets. -- nm - pmb Oct 21, 14:17 3
- I liked some of the little games in the beta. Like they added a CTTP game in beta that I hope is still there. -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 14:20
- The alternative would have been the schmooze points, which the beta testers hated -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:17 1
  - The schmooze points are still there. - Krusty Oct 21, 14:21
Brian Austin Green's pretend girlfriend last night is night and day hotter than his real one. (nm) - David Oct 21, 14:16
How do you even get to hsx now? I keep getting a fatal error message. -- nm - sheba Oct 21, 14:16 1
- I'm guessing it's propagating through the 'tubes like the shutdown did. -- nm - TaurusII Oct 21, 14:22
lol, I like how it tells me I need to install something called Drupal. Yeaa okay. Im right on that. nm - Jovian Oct 21, 14:16 1
- It's a message to the server administrator because Drupal can't see the MySQL database server -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:17
Beryllium. We should start our own HSX. - JaxSean Oct 21, 14:15 6
- I have prior art on their patents..........where did I put those links I thought I would never use -- nm - Scorpion Oct 21, 14:17 2
  - prior art on their patents? -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:25 1
    - They have several patents on how trades are made "The Virtual Specialist" system. Prior Art is a term used in Patent Law - Scorpion Oct 21, 14:32
- You've got a graphic designer here. I'm sure someone where know's some Angel Investors and VC's. -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:16 1
  - Amazon does VC, they would love that -- nm - Scorpion Oct 21, 14:17
- I might be able to get you in touch with the MiniMogul people. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:16
PHP error when trying to load HSX.com now. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:15 3
- put WWW. before it -- nm - Gwaahjo Oct 21, 14:17
- Sorry, man. But a professional site *hides* the Content Management System. It doesn't direct you to a directory called "cms"! -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:17
- I would imagine that their server is being crushed with traffic right now. It's tough to do graceful handling for that sort of thing. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:16
It is not that it changed. Good for them for changing. It is what the changes are. - TFox Oct 21, 14:15 7
- I understand wanting to increase the social aspect... but that homepage looks like the opposite of that. Nothing on it hooks me at all. - loosilu Oct 21, 14:17
- I wish I could have bet money on this result. -- nm - Reagen Oct 21, 14:16 1
  - Yup. -- nm - David Oct 21, 14:23
- I'm hopeful for version 2.1 - ty97 Oct 21, 14:16 2
  - Did they not get this feeback out of the beta? Should I blame myself? - TFox Oct 21, 14:17 1
    - of course they did, they just didn't care. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:18
- Frames are so 1997! -- nm - lileve Oct 21, 14:16
Happy Birthday Trish! - ty97 Oct 21, 14:13 10
- This got LIR: Thanks! If I manage to keep oatmeal or something like that down today I'll be having a great birthday. - Trish Oct 21, 14:16 7
  - wow, RazorHawk really does have quite an effect on you ;-) - zork Oct 21, 14:31
  - jeebus - when are you going to stay healthy for a while -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 21, 14:28
  - Happy birthday and feel better soon! - glory Oct 21, 14:22
  - Uggers! That sucks. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 14:19
  - Oh, I'm so sorry. :( I hope your evening turns out better than your day. -- nm - sheba Oct 21, 14:18
  - oh crap!!! hope you get better soon. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:18
  - oh, that's the suck :( -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 14:16
- Happy Birthday Queen of the Compound! -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 21, 14:14
- heh, I was just gonna say the same thing, till I saw your IM. nm - Jovian Oct 21, 14:14
BAD/LIR: Thanks for the tip :) I was looking at sailmakers over the past few days. Can't find example prices of new sails, but used ones are cheap - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:12
I am actually glad it took a week to come back, cause it allowed ST to solidify itself as the new place to post. nm - Jovian Oct 21, 14:12 1
- We're retro-chic! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 21, 14:14
They beta tested this??? Really??? - glory Oct 21, 14:11 21
- My guess is they outsourced the development of the new website to people that had no clue wtf hsx was -- nm - Stewie Griffin Oct 21, 14:16
- whats the URL? hsx.com still has an error -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 21, 14:15 3
  - you have to put WWW. -- nm - Gwaahjo Oct 21, 14:16
  - www.hsx.com - you have to keep trying, it's completey overloaded. -- nm - Andie Oct 21, 14:16 1
    - nah, it wasnt that. they were just too stupid to redirect hsx.com to www.hsx.com. - Die Incognito Oct 21, 14:18
- I posted a blog entry. And OMGWTFSUCK, it stripped out newlines. - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:14 2
  - Hello Drupal. I know you. You are my bitch. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 14:16 1
    - If someone could let me know the version of Drupal they have installed, that would be ... amusing. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:17
- i hate having to scrawl to see my stocks. i can't *believe* you can't sort. - Andie Oct 21, 14:13 2
  - Can you tell me what you clicked on to see your port? -- nm - not2fast Oct 21, 14:17
  - And why lose anything? The Internet can't sort data as well now as it could in the late 90's? - TFox Oct 21, 14:16
- Can you see a way to sort by anything other than name? - sgtmike Oct 21, 14:13 1
  - Not that I can see at the moment. I'm also wondering why they didn't leave the headings above the scroll, so you could see which column is what... - glory Oct 21, 14:17
- as a former dotcommer, here's my take: The marketing department won. - loosilu Oct 21, 14:13 6
  - Yep. But it doesn't even look that good. The front page is way too blocky and busy, it's hard to visually differentiate ads from content ... - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 14:20 2
    - it looks like they used a straight out of the box generic website template -- nm - Die Incognito Oct 21, 14:27
    - yeah, it's a marketing department with zero sense of design. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:21
  - Agreed. Scooter had the same problem with V2's implementation. - David Oct 21, 14:16 1
    - absoultey agreed. HSX has done a bad job before, and this is not going to help, IMO. -- nm - loosilu Oct 21, 14:19
  - Hands-down. The user interface is a joke, the feature regressions are unconscionable. It's terrible. - Beryllium Oct 21, 14:15
- agreed... granted i assume it will get quicker but - Gwaahjo Oct 21, 14:13
