When I was first lurking .gg, the performance (loading time) was really bad, and even disabling a lot of the features I could in settings it would still load pretty bad. It runs a lot smoother now and a lot of the UI changes looks nice. I was afraid some of the features were going to cause it to load worse, but it seems good now. The live updates to threads and so on is also cool that didn't really effect my performance when viewing threads, but I also didn't have like 50 users responding to a single thread at the same time, so I'm not sure how it'd be with larger amounts of requests being made at once.

One of the bigger "problems" I had when first browsing the site was how similar it was to .org at the time as well. I didn't really have a desire to use a clone, I'm interested in looksmaxxing but not the concept of joining every .org clone I could, if that makes sense. I see you guys stepped away from it a lot and started doing your own thing, which is cool.

I also think the policy change on the quality requirements for new threads is also nice. It's something I wish other sites would implement, but I also understand how much content is produced on on other sites this would cause an increase in labor that's probably not worth it, espically counting these kinds of sites use a volunteer based system for moderator positions. You guys are in the earlier stages of activity and development where you have more control of the kind of culture you want the site to have.
