Ugh! First change that I absolutely hate already - Comments on the front page. They take up way too much space, if I want to read people's comments on the story I'll click the link
The search feature is different than it used to be, I cant remember what changed, only that I dont like it now and I used to like it before.
Pet Peeve... links on this site rarely open in a new window. Do you want us to leave the site?
Whatever happened to the forums? I know the activity got really slow but I dont remember a heads up that it was going away and why.
I love that everything is on the front page. Theres always enough stuff to check out but not too much to get through. One suggestion I have is something on the sidebar that shows recent, popular posts(including a pic). Because there are a lot of posts, interesting things get pushed off the front page fairly quick so it would be nice to have a feature where we can keep up with some of the conversations without having to search through the pages for the OP
I never really checked out the "Where to from here" section at the very bottom until now because I stop scrolling down when I reach the "next page" link. One thing in that section I'd move is the "Neatorama by email" feature, I wont use it because I come here all the time but I didnt even know I had the option.
Bring back Suggest a Link. The UQ is 1000x better than when it started but I dont always want to write a post so it'd be nice to have the option to just point out a link like pre queue days and let one of the bloggers write it up if deemed fit. Obviously Im still not a big fan of the queue but Ive learned to live with it :) My main qualm is that random people just post stuff that is popular on similar sites. I think the inclusion of UQ posts has made Neatorama lose its voice a bit.
One more thing... Would love to hear from some of your bloggers of days past
It is stealing, it is wrong, I have done it several times and do not feel bad about it.
It's hard to make an analogy because there really isnt any comparison. Its not anything tangible that you can point to like an apple or some water. Maybe it would be like if I set down my cell phone in your house and you made a bunch of calls.
It comes down to you using something that someone else is paying for without their permission. Sure sounds like stealing to me. Every argument Im hearing just sound like people trying to justify the fact that they steal on a regular basis. I'm guessing you would eat someone's lunch you found in the company fridge.
There are a lot of people that leave there signal open to share with their neighbours but I dont think you should assume this is the case when you come across an open signal. I think that a lot of others do not even have a clue that they should secure their signal because its a relatively new technology. Just because they do not know their door is unlocked does not make it ok to steal from them.

I have not memory of even seeing that box
