Default Previously on Sarcastic Gamer

Ok I was ignoring this when it was first implemented, but now it's getting on my nerves. It's big, always in the way, I never use it, all in all I think it is pointless. I just want to know who else agrees with me and this stance?

Yeah, it does annoy me too. I mean, it's not like they need to completely remove it, but they should at least space it for a few days and not make it every day.

I agree it's never been helpful to me, if I want to see yesterdays posts then I'll just scroll down a bit. It's a liability and probably a drain on Eoco's time.

it would be if the stories were spread over a bunch of pages, but since they are on the front you can just scroll.

its pretty big and sort of a waste of space since the stuff thats on it pushed the real posts themselves off the page.

I find it can be useful, but not often, most of the time I just ignore it and pass on.

I agree.
They should only do it once a week and just pick the best articles..

I think it's useful, but only once a week. Every day is a bit too much, and not only will it save Eoco time and effort, it will also mean that only the best articles are put in the PSG... We don't need to see all the articles reiterated...

...

Eoco must feel so appreciated and welcome...

I don't really use it, if it wasn't so often it would be better.

Actually Killjoy, the post is meant to highlight articles that aren't on the main page. So you really can't just scroll down and read them, cause they won't be there...

Sorry for trying to make things a bit easier for you all...

I guess you're true to your namesake...

Yeah well... it's still too big and annoying.
