Old Sweet Version

Sulieman
By Sulieman

Good Morning Mods and QLers

I don't know If you noticed that or not

But QL became like a Ghost city, and there are between 3-6 Active QLer now, which means that the new desing didn't reach it's goal 

The new QL looks nice and we approciate your Job (Qarari  and All QL family) but the old one was better

This one missing a lot of things, but what matters more is the QLers, and I don't see many of them any more !

 

Cheers!

I kind of have to agree with Blistering Barnacles.

The old QL was fun for the (very) few regular users who posted the same old things, over and over, but for other, new users it was intimidating and nasty.

Perhaps this is the fresh start that this website needs, rather than the same old people talking endlessly karak and bebsi and monkeys.

QL has just got serious, and that's how it should be. It had lost charm due to same old Qlers in every thread. Glad this new layout will recycle the QLers and only the serious ones will stay and the hijackers and timewasters will reduce.

It shall still serve the purpose of answering the queries for newbies in Qatar. I for one dont see any problem with the change and welcome the change.

Lol... Sulieman I always the said the success of QL was its earlier old and dumb design which was infact easier for newbies to get used to. It would have been easier for them to delete the old database of QL and kept the same format instead of being trying a new design.

Today QL is come to a point where it was never before... low contributions from users... this is an all time low... its not easy to change it... but I will give my suggestions for old time sake... First would be to remove all the advertisement and classifieds... at least for the timebeing... the whole goddamn page looks like a shitty Classifieds webpage.

As more people log in... they may increase the ads. But I hate that banner ad on the bottom part. It was better on the top.

Unfortunately I dont log in as much as before as my free day time is occupied with my website development and promotion and evenings I am involved is social work...

But I really do hope that QL picks up its pace and become like its old self once again... with arguments, name calling, flirting, friendsheeps calls, discussing the outerspace, matter and time... QL after all its the place where I made some good friends... :-)

You are in luck D that QS is not around... you would have lost all your valuable commentators to it... cause they feel that anxiety syndrome to comment, comment, comment and comment....lol QS is dead and buried and most probably will never be revived back to life.... ;-)

Qatari and QL Team - I know you may think that we are just being wary of change, but in all honesty, I want to leave QL because its not near as user friendly. And, if it is, we aren't able to navigate it effectively to find out. I would suggest you create some sort of Demo link that can be viewed based on what you want to do - find forums, q&a (which I still dont really know where that is or if its part of that right pane thing), classifieds, etc. If I were a newbie to Qatar, I'd run far away from this site. Sorry, but I know you are trying to create a better experience. But, if the 'old' visitors can barely see our way through this, imagine how the new visitors must think and be completely lost.

Sulieman be patience. It takes time to get used to any change. I am sure Qatari and his crew are doing their best. Its now up to us QLer's to support them in their latest initiative.
