The board continues to page 9, Gutterfoot doesn't doesn't post anything else, so I didn't cap anything else.
Some highlights:
- Games that users play are being brought over, even ones with low play counts. Games with next to zero play counts may be lost.
- Desktop and mobile sites will be different
- Petpages/lookups are being brought over
- CC box drop rates will be discussed Monday
- TNT isn't the same staff that is working on mobile apps (tho imo this still shows that the uppers need to invest more in TNT)
- Interested in revamps to Battledome/Neohomes, taking suggestions
honestly ive been wondering why that other part of "tnt" keeps releasing mobile apps and then shutting them down a few months later.. what are they trying to achieve? surely building these apps isnt cheap for what little return they must get out of it.

Honestly, and I understand people may disagree, but I think they need to work out their customer service before literally anything else.
They are freezing players without proof, players that spent hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars on nc/premium and think prioritising a mobile app that looks like its for children is more important. This is not even touching on the emotionally abusive asshole that is Tony P - frozen without proof and you get unfrozen? Prepare to lose everything you've worked for. It's disgusting.
Stop the freezings. Invest in player moderators and revamping your rules/warning system so it's entirely transparent and easy to follow. Reintroduce UC pets in some way or another so people stop bullying and targeting eachother over them. Stop double/triple charging the few remaining people you have left willing to pay for the site, and threatening to freeze them when they dare question why they are having money stolen from them.
Honestly, it's such a massive issue and I can't believe this wasn't stressed more on that thread.

i had a whole bunch of feelings about this as it was unfurling yesterday and i'm finally at a keyboard so here goes:
gutterfoot put herself in an extremely vulnerable position coming out, unscripted, solo, in a moment when public opinion of TNT is possibly the lowest it's ever been. she risked getting completely cruficied, inflaming the players even more by disclosing things that hadn't been vetted for disclosure, and (this may still be the case) getting rebuked by whatever shape "the management" takes in this circus of an organization for #yoloing it and not toeing the messaging line and clearing her points beforehand.
on the latter point, i really hope she does not face repercussions from the management for doing what she did (explaining fuckups with no sugarcoating; giving us a true sense of how overwhelmed the dev team is). with her honesty, transparency, and actual CARE for what is happening, she probably did more to breach the growing rift between the players and the team with this session (on. her. own. time!) than any of TNT's previous attempts.
reading between the lines of her posts, this is an employee who gone through the week from hell, who has watched the site get absolutely hammered by critique from (you need an account to see links), who is overworked to high heaven, and yet who gave enough of a fuck to expose herself to the boards, live and very much assailable, neck out, shoot here please. and this post is about gutterfoot but i want to say that i'm really proud/surprised of the tone of that board, which was users who are frustrated but yet - inexorably optimistic fools that we are - willing to talk, and do it constructively. this could have gone all kinds of sideways.
the fact that gutterfoot, already underwater and drowning, exhausted from a week of work and emotionally drained from seeing the cc2020 vilified, came out to talk to the community speaks volumes to her character and investment to the site. it also scares me to death that she appears to be the one bright one on TNT. they don't seem to hold onto the good ones (miss u HTT) so frankly i am scared and wondering how much more she will endure before deciding that being a dev AND being damage control/board martyr/apologiser-in-chief/etc. is far beyond her pay grade and bail. praying that she's made of strong stuff because she honestly gives me a lot of hope.
you know when someone asks "why are you so dressed up"
and you have to literally explain to them that this is who you are
asking the important questions
thanks @extraterrestrial for capturing my essence
anyway here's my petpet

Mad props to gutterfoot. What the rest of TNT does remains to be seen, but a round of applause for gutterfoot showing up on her own time and participating. This is what I want to see, someone from staff acting as a messenger between staff and users. I don't want sugarcoated bs, I want the concrete details that explain why something is the way it is.
It's a long ways to recovery, but this is a good starting place.
