Thanks. The only reason I got to that site was I saw the "Comment pages have been changed!" line in the lj_news post and said to myself "Well, this has never been a good thing in the past, how have they screwed this up now?" An hour later I finally got to the failfandomanon thread which had the idiomatic English translation so that I could understand the thread title thing. No one I've found has actually been able to get into the beta server, so... yeah.
My individual "contact us" feedback re: the design got a somewhat canned response, but it mentioned that "I will ensure that your comments are passed along to the appropriate personnel for consolidation with other user feedback for review," which makes it sound like I was far from the only one to send the personal feedback. The respondent's profile indicated that she's based in the U.S., so they have at least a few American employees remaining. The lj_news thread is over 700 comments now, almost all negative (and in English), but there's no real feedback from the staff there. igrick has updated his post to indicate that he's open to keeping thread titles as "an option on some styles temporarily," but as far as I can tell he really doesn't get it (his English is better than my Russian, but not by much) - at least he's stopped being openly insulting.
As I stated at one thread or another: I have no idea what the difference is between S1 or S2. I'm a writer, not a programmer or designer: which is why I wound up at LJ in the first place. I'll ask around to see if anyone else knows, because I definitely don't get it.
In the meantime: spread the word and the rage, make yourself known at the LJ thread (try to be civil: as much as this makes me WANT to curse, it doesn't make us look reasonable) and through individual feedback notes (a good consistent title has been "Proposed Comment System Changes in Release 88). As tabaqui pointed out, we're invested here now. This is my cozy place. But if they mess with my ass groove much more, I'll do a complete migration.
/I had every intention of spending today ranting about SOPA and I'm starting to get suspicious that igrick is a troll planted by Hollywood to distract us.
