Maybe should update the site news post then, where the following now-incorrect information is provided:
Friends
The 'Friends' feature will be removed from the main Nexus Mods website and you will need to visit the new forums to use it.
As for "only showler gets it"… feedback was requested in this thread, so it was provided. Couple people were rude about it, I don't like that either. But… "You get it, thank you"? That feels so dismissive of everyone else as "those that don't get it". I doubt most were assuming Nexus was removing features for laughs or out of laziness. Instead I see a lot of valid feedback. For what is worth I was excited by the update, and I still think the new forums are nice and sleek. But I got a *single* nexus friend some weeks ago… and I got all giggly for once. You clearly don't see value in the feature, or you wouldn't coldly dismiss its reimplementation, and that's fine. It's not our website, it's yours. We were just giving feedback though.
In my opinion site news could have been much more straightforward in describing that features would be lost, permanently and out of necessity, and maybe people would've been less upset by the situation. For instance:
There WILL be some quirkiness and missing features. We will be working to quickly bring them up to speed.
This is still there, implying all features will be restored, and quickly too. It's setting incorrect expectations.
My last bit, and hopefully I won't be a bother any further… please consider prioritizing the feature to edit "About Me" in the mods site. It's a bit awkward having a bio we cannot change anymore.
Hope you all have a good day.
