i want to know who the “*****ER” was that complained about lists…twice!!!! Don’t come to the site if you don’t like it douchebag. Your just messing it up for all the rest of us, especially the longtime veiwers. I have been around since the site was created and i know it must be a ***** to have to remove a list cause someone is to selfish to share with the rest of the free world. Wow…i am *****ed…

I voted in the poll… predicted that “bizarre” would be the leader when it comes to the votes, and got it right.

Keep the bizarre lists going!

Diogenes: bucslim is still about – he might be away this weekend as I haven’t seen him comment but he is definitely around. As for the top commenters – they are on the about page now

The March competition will be finalized and announced in the next day or two

yeah, your right. who needs a “top commenters list” on the new homepage when they comment 24/7 with their monologs.

did funny smart guy bucslim get booted from the site? haven’t seen him since….
which is strange because the new listuniverse page format looks a lot like the Oddee page format.

I liked the forums section on the previous homepage, as my few times I have responded to the forums have been due to that section. otherwise I can’t figure it out when I go straight to the forums front page.

It’s April 4, 2009 on the side of the planet where I am typing from and would like to know when the March 2009 Winning List will make its grand apearence? I didn’t enter anything,so I am not asking for that reason, but I noticed for sometime that the last competition never was finalized as to a winner. I don’t care about prizes, myself, but curiosity, because I thought that the March contest was an excellent way of getting a lot of free lists.

A count down week of lists perhaps?

jfrater-

well, i finally came to like the new home-page enough that i’ve made it my browser LV bookmark -it used to be the “all lists” archive page.

i like seeing the comment tally on all the “home-page lists” at once.

all the best in any further update endeavors

p.s. letting us self-police…..dude, who knows where that will lead! but thanks for the free-speech props

and thanks again for the site.

OK Jamie, joking aside, here’s my 2 cents about the new front page format:

Widen the intro box (“Welcome to Listverse…”) a bit just so the last word “enthralled” isn’t on the bottom line all by itself. (sorry, I’m just being ***** on this one!)

The Site Search text box should be up in the green navigation bar, so it is visible upon first accessing the page, without having to scroll down for it.

With the lists shown chronologically down the middle, it makes the “Latest Lists” area off to the right side a bit redundant. Remove that area and then perhaps expand the “Recent Comments” to show more of them. Or maybe you are saving that spot to put “controversial lists” or “most popular” or something?

The Recent Comments area should be moved up too, if not to the top, then just below the “Subscribe” area (the Poll thing is kind of corny IMO, move it down, or lose it). The comments view serves as a good teaser, to draw curiosity seekers further into the site’s active lists.

Listing the lists down the center – could stand to be a bit smaller in format, so you could show more of them on the page. Reduce the font size of the title a bit, and also the size of the accompanying pic. And possibly even reduce the list intro teaser lines to only two lines.

Speaking of which – regarding the pages, and the “page 1 of xx” buttons down at the bottom. Would anyone really ever punch thru the all pages like that? Just put a link to “view all lists” there.

Well that’s all I have for now. Use or disregard as you see fit.
