I can’t help it, it’s the voices they never stop.

I shouldn’t listen to the voices, but sometimes they have such great ideas

I think slowly but surely most of us are moving away from it. Seems a lot of the posts are from new Onion members who initially want to vent just like we did.

I do await the day CH sinks though and hope a certain person goes down with it. :smiling_imp: .

Be careful what you wish for, Tom.

If it does sink, then the archives of all those restaurant recommendations sink with it. It will be a severe loss, particularly for those of us who travel.

I agree, Harters. Whenever I traveled I looked there for recommendations. It would be a shame to lose those archives.

Here we have a chance to return to a user-based approach - moving away from the monolith that evolved. You should be a part of shaping what we will do. The best future requires diverse users and points of view. Particularly those who will call “Bullshit” on excess and self-defeating indulgence.

1 - Yes
2 - Yes
3 - Toss up between Home Cooking & General

THANK YOU for this site!!! I started to panic when I saw CH’s new format & immediately thought…NO, not you too!! Like others have said, it is a mess. CH, as well as many other sites, are over thinking it. Simplicity is a strength in the era of information overload.

I believe I remember that whole episode. Welcome, Mise, to a place that’s 95% drama free. You won’t find hundreds of posts per hour, but you will find enthusiastic, sincere posters looking to share their passion for things food-related.

  1. Yes, I made my way here from Chowhound. Glad to have found you all again!
  2. I just joined today but I haven’t been using Chowhound much recently, so I imagine I will be here much more frequently now.
  3. Home Cooking (and Special Diets), although I did visit General and Not About Food a good bit.

Yes from CH, couldn’t deal with the new format.
No never banned but had a few posts removed and a couple emails telling me I was a naughty girl.

I like the Florida boards and the General and Not About Food.
