I hate change. I have never been one for change. I think that's not the biggest but it's the nicest of the things I hate. I love most of all Gather, but I thought it would be interesting to see what bothers others.

ps: You gonna do another La La Update or are you just so blissfully in love with me (your new king) that you no longer notice the going-ons of the kingdom?
But then, who am I to complain. I'm just part of the herd.
That is my major gather-hate.
Wake up and smell the garbage. Point whores are what keep Gather going.
Gee rob do you ate my pond photos ???
Im glad you article only has TWO, otherwise I would have to complain
However, I dislike having to ignore articles where people whine about not getting enough comments, not having enough points, not have a perfect 10 rating, and especially the articles "venting" about how they hate to read nothing but whining from point whores. Ummm....what?
There's a lot of interesting variety on Gather, and as others have said, there's "room for everything" on here, but's not the layout of the website that makes it hard to find.
Okay, What do I HATE about Gather? Nothing.
Perhaps what I dislike most is more in order. And, that is -- not having the "For Me" section anymore. That was a great place to find the most recent articles and images from my connections and subscriptions. (Now, they're called 'posts' and 'photos' from 'friends'.)
The 'feed' just doesn't do it. I'm not sure why, but perhaps it's because I either have to sort through a lot of "so-and-so commented on the post ***" or "so-and-so pinged so-and-so", etc. or get only one type, such as 'posts' only or 'photos' only. Not only that, but the listings only go back so far, so I end up having to visit individual profiles to see more. That seems to take some of the pleasure out of it.
I just can't answer the question.
I love Gather, especially the new one!
But, I do prefer the restriction to one line of the listing of the groups the article is posted. That's VERY handy.
If one doesnt like something,do not go there and flag needlessly or whine about how they mispelled words and such.grow up people and be an adult and stick to your own kind.
those that complain about my animal butts but post to groups called point whores
and now there are Christian point whores on here. some one please explain to me how that two can go together.
The second annoying aspect is that with the ICE redesign a lot of basic pages are lost in limbo. Sure I can get to my mail if I have new messages, but where, for the love of sushi, is the link so I can get to it when I don’t have any new messages? I can’t find it.
Fake people also annoy me, but not in the same sense of the term as Christopher K’s use of the term. There are a lot of people with false identities. I thought we were supposed to be ourselves here at Gather not some alter ego for someone else. It gets really annoying when you have people who sign in as someone else, typically some low level staffer. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are both listed as members; I doubt that they have ever seen gather, much less read or posted anything on their so called “accounts.”
I wish we could have the front page back.. So great articles can have more page views.
Especially when Gather changes things so often!
