sdy284 Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 This week for OCC Poll #10, we're talking news. More specifically, what do you think about the current amount of news that is being posted on OverclockersClub.com? Would you like to see more? Is there to much? We'd like to know what you guys think. Like all OCC Polls, this one will end in one week. (May 6th) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 there's too much (for me)... i guess choice is a good thing but sometimes i swear there are like 40 things in one day and i'm like "whoa there Nelly!" i'm not sure if it would be too much work but maybe the current categorisation of the news (guide, article, news, etc) could be used to group news items? then maybe it wouldn't seem like one massive load of news on some days... i guess grouping could take priority over post time, so even as items are added throughout the course of the day, they get grouped automatically overall, i really like the quality and increased amount of news compared to any time before B:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammin Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) I didn't realise how much news there really was until I started posting it. I think the amount and quality is pretty good at the moment.

ClayMeow Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 I voted for "I don't read it" because there wasn't any "I usually don't bother with it" or "I only read it sometimes" options...as I usually don't bother with the front page, sorry. If it's posted in the forums, then I'm more apt to read it...and if that then brings me to the front page I may skim a bit, but that's rare.

ClayMeow Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 i added that option just for you & moved your vote also I'm speshul! In a good way PS. I agree with nrg that some organization/categorization may help. It's hard to say that there could ever be "too much news", but the way it is now, does make it seem that way, and that's not good. At least separating out reviews from actual news may help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrewr05 Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 You may want to fix the option "There's to much", should say too... I chose "There's just the right amount"... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
razor Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 I really dig the news section - I read upwards of 50% of each day's news, and by that I mean that I read almost every blurb and of those blurbs read I follow the link and read the whole story more than half the time. good range of news - tech, software, misc. and to be honest, the news is part of the reason I decided to stick around and "be a part" of OCC. way to go OCC!!

dbuchmann Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 It gives me something to read at work without having to hop around the internet like a demented squirrel. The more news/articles posted, the more time I can waste. -David- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
