Re: Saying you suck would be redundant. Everyone knows this is common knowledge. Oh please, don't misunderstand. I don't think you suck because of content. You can't control the crappage of fics that are uploaded. (Well, actually you could, but we won't go there.) That NC-17 thing, though. Yes, your suck-o-rama stems from that and other questionable decisions made over time. But again, we won't go there.
No, this time the reason you suck is because of the new, utterly pointless layout. Now, instead of utilising the entire screen as you used to do, there's now at least a good third of blank, wasted space as the content is narrowed into a smaller column.
And the point? Do you think this makes it look more aesthetically pleasing? Perhaps I could is if there were a background image, but all that's there is plain white.
In short, there is no point, and frankly, I find it unattractive and just harder to read.
Now I already know that this layout will probably be around. Let's face it, when it comes to what your visitors want, you don't listen. (Unless it's to the group of right-wing, fanatic people who's child stumbled onto a bad fic and shame on you, take that down or I'll tell [insert authority type here]. Nevermind said people should be watching their own damn brats, but I digress.) But even a hack like myself can see there was no reason for the change. The previous layout was perfectly fine and I'm pretty sure it worked in most browsers anyway, least far as appearances went.
It wasn't broken, it didn't need to be fixed.
Yet, as I said, I know there's nothing anyone will say that will "encourage" you to change it back. So just draw another line on your suck board, mmkay?

Wait, you mean you *go* to FF.net?
...Why? XD

I have to, at least until all the good stuff/writers that I like either leave completely, or better yet, move to yaoiville.net
I can dream, can't I?

If I wrote them and told them that my underage daughter stumbled onto their site and was severely offended by all the blank space in their new layout, and that it made her cry and now I'm going to have to tell everyone that they are mean, child-hating people who make young girls cry with their bad layouts, do you think they would change it back?
Hmm...
