I'm not going to be donating cause the site interface is very bad.
I never liked the upgrade to begin with, the previous site was aesthetically better looking and easier to navigate.

Revert back to the previous interface, or design a better one and hopefully you'll attract more viewers and new people willing to donate.

Oh boy, this post it making me look like an ass****, and a troll.
Best donate a little money to feel less like an asshole, after all the dojo is the best place for Shenmue period.

Yama saved this place and it's much better than before. You're an ass and idiot to say otherwise

I wasn't overly familiar with the previous iteration, but for what it's worth I like the current design and don't have any problems with the interface. If I did, and I felt it warranted comment, I'd probably try and offer something more constructive than "it's very bad." What is it that you preferred about the old look, cube_b3? And what difficulties do you encounter when navigating the site? Answer those questions and your criticism might be taken as useful rather than inflamatory.

This is a beautifully designed website. The Yaman Dynasty is the greatest thus far. It was like the transition from the Qin to the Han Dynasty. Think you might be just caught up in nostalgia, cube_b3? Nostalgia is history after a few drinks. ;-)

Before Yama this place was in Ruin trying to cling on to a time long past. A time where the citizens ruled without leadership. Oh Sure we were happy for a short time to run around but it left so many in exile. The city was rebuilt,a new leader approached and led us to prosperity.

How exactly did Yama approach this site and become it's new leader? Please elaborate.

It's pretty classless to post in a donation thread and say you won't donate due to legitimate effort being put into the place, but you would if it was left to rot in hell. I'd usually agree with your notion, but if you take a second glance he asked for it.

He said he likes the site just not the design.

I'm sure you wouldn't be happy if a waiter asked if you liked your food only to have the chefs come out and yell at you for not liking it.

He clearly said he would not donate unless it was reverted back to the old and dated format.

Since you like waiter analogies, that's like me getting a nice steak but since it lacked some seasoning, I decide not to pay and walk out.

@Riku: The guy was bein a bit of a tit. Can't honestly say that he was being genuine in his claim that the previous design was better than his current one.

@Yama: Well, he doesn't have to pay, but he's still slightly retarded in his judgement of quality if he's serious.

Agreed.

And of course not nor would I want him to if he couldn't. Though do like the rest who can't or won't, simply don't and move on. Don't make false claims to back up your unwillingness. That post was borderline trolling. :lol:
