Nah. Chowhound insists on keeping Site Talk behind an unmarked door. This is the result.

Am I missing something (which is most probable) or has that 20th Anniversary Post been on Chow since July the 1st and you are the only comment? Is that correct? WTF?

I am not getting why this is posted under âChowhound Shenanigansâ ?
(itâs really only their 19th anniversary!!! shhhhhhhhh)
That was the âjumped the sharkâ thread
No it was actually posted by knuckle sandwich. March 1st 2014. 558 replies. Is a hotdog a sandwich.
No it was the âthis thread has jumped the shark, Iâm out of hereâ thread that made me think time to move on which is what I was saying. Not the name of the tread
Iâll give you that. Iâm so glad Iâm done with chowhound.

Yes. Like I said I was expecting little reaction, but not ZERO reaction. Despite all the bullshit that does make me sad.

As small_h has said, Chowhound makes it next to impossible to find the Site Feedback board. Itâs been buried since the torrent of negative feedback they got when most people left, presumably to keep negative comments far from view. Itâs curious that the anniversary post was put on that board⌠unless it was posted in multiple places. I donât do enough there to know.

If you type âSite Talkâ into the large search bar at the top of any page itâs the first result that appears in tags results. However the content is the same âmy iPhone doesnât work my kindle doesnât work my comment is not listed first I canât find my post from 1968â whining that it has always been, by many of the same dyspeptic posters. Some things havenât changed.

I agree on the Hooch & Mooch thread. The âGuest bringing ribs to a party where the Host is making ribsâ and its follow-up thread were two more.
@gaffk - thanks on the TC recaps. I went back and read a few of them a few weeks ago - reading them is WAY better than writing them âa la minuteâ! LOL And the Banana Board! Was disappointing that they took that down.
But the site is well past its prime. Leaving when I was banned after commenting negatively too many times on the horrible rejiggering of the site was a good thing. For me.

Hell yeah she was banned and word has it she has 2 strikes against her here!! Donât let that playful avi or sweet demeanor she normally exhibits here fool you, that @LindaWhit was trained by the KGB and could get you to give up your grandmothers oatmeal raisin cookie recipe with just a stern look. If you ever are invited to her home for lunch, donât expect her to offer to hang your coat up, her closets are too full of skeletons!! (literally!!!)

Linda being banned was the last straw for me. The thought of them banning Linda of all people still boggles the mind. It clearly spelled out that tptb were more interested in being ârightâ than being interested in preserving community. The whole thing prompted me to do some searching which led me to Hungry Onion.

I think everybody here has been banned from chowhound.
Not me. Still visit, still post. Because itâs still useful to me, as is this site and Food Talk Central.
Believe it or not, I have not been banned. I rarely post anything anymore, unless someone asks a direct question to one of my posts Iâll still respond. No new content and I only check the site on occasions like this one where someone here has linked to a Chow page for whatever reason.
Iâm not at all sure why two ifbyou nowvthink that I WANT to find the feedback board any faster. I know where to find it but Iâve been using the sight for maybe 10 years. My point is that they have intentionally separated Feedback from the main topic structure, likely so that itâs not something users will come across unless they go looking for it and are fairly knowledgeable.
