Facebook is still hugely popular despite these 'huge' amounts of unhappy people then eh?
Presentation comes in to it, but with a lot of things it's content > presentation.
I like the Overclockers simple, minimalistic look, but I don't think it's beyond discussion. I do love the 'don't like it log out' replies haha!
I guess it's cheap to run a website like this in comparision to a web forum with lots of bells and whistles and features.
Yes it is. Just how many people do you know in your social circle that don't have facebook? For me it's less than 3. I also see my news feed blow up with "OMG FACEBOOK Y U CHANGE THIS" every time something new comes out. Okay maybe a slight exaggeration but i couldn't really think of a suitable word. It doesn't take too much browsing be it on the 'facebook' facebook page, news sites, blogs, reddit etc etc to see lots of people complaining about new features. Now some i don't agree with and are opinion based like layout changes, but the latest one is pretty ridiculous.
As i wrote above though, just what extra content is needed? There really isn't much that separates this from other forums and the things that are different either have alternatives here (trust vs PM) or just aren't necessary.
