Some of you have expressed distaste for the new look of things around here. “I don’t like the grey font.” “I don’t like my content on the left side.” “I don’t like having to sign in to write something [Ed. Note: You don’t.]” “I don’t like this.” “I don’t like that.” “I don’t like the italics, I may set up a competing site [Ed. Note: Do it, I fucking dare you].” “I don’t like that there aren’t any Carney Crotch shots.” “Gayest website ever after this redesign.”
One of you bet (yourself) that we probably didn’t have the “cojones” to make a poll asking who likes the new format. I can’t speak for Carney, but you, Guest at 9:02AM, bet wrong about me. Though the results will be absolutely meaningless and not get us to consider even for a second changing it back (it’s so cute that some of you thought it might), I offer you, after the jump, your mother fucking poll. I hope you enjoy it, as least as much as you enjoy the new look of DealBreaker.com
Not therapeutic enough for you? This one’s on me.
Gratuitous complaining post.
Actually, the new site is very tasteful. Or, as one of my friends would say, its “….taaasteful, with three A’s”

There we go, tough fucking love!
Get a helmet, peeps.
Nick Denton is a wanker
Bess, as long as you’re sucking today, why not make a deal with a graphic design team to make a comments screen that doesn’t blow?
I’m not gonna lie, I am catching some serious Dealscape vibes here on the new look.

@12:13 please don’t take your bitterness about the layout out on bess. what’s the matter, can’t take a little tough love?
aww dude my name doesn’t even make ANY sense now that i can’t have the . in it. Dealbreaker, i surrender.

ps the gray italic comment font is the proxy access of fonts.
make of that what you will.
I like it bitches..
Except for the grey font/italics. And, there’s no photos of Tanner.
-mrp
The sign redesign is fine. BUT, the gray text has to go. It is nearly unreadable. I cannot handle having to squint and lean in toward my monitor to partake in Bess’s flawless prose. Please make the gray black.
I’m not gonna lie, I am catching some serious Timothysykes.com vibes here on the new look.
new layout sux.
Bess rules
site looks great
the rest of you who don’t like it can keep taking it up the @
You don’t work on the side polling for the Clinton campaign do you? I know you can’t put up a real poll (because you don’t have any balls – unless you get *that* operation). You like the site because “it’s pretty”? What’s next – feminine product ads?
Growing on me like chlamydia
haha YES! the cojones comment and the competing site were both my comments!
while it would be fun to have my own blog it is so much more exciting to be quoted by bess!
Italics = Painful
Layout = Meh
The whole rightside leftside argument reminds me of Zoolander.
Growing on me like chlamydia
seriously though, how much did you guys get took for this showstopper of a “look?”
Stockholm Syndrome is alive and well!
It’s not about the layout. It’s the lack of readability.
Gray text, small print, italics, white background, low-resolution font, etc….
It’s damaging to my eyes. Did your optometrist friend design this to get more business?
hahaha, I’ll read, but I don’t have to like it.

This guy is nuts. Smart? Is this guy trying to get in someone’s pants? Jewish conspiracy? Sending meat in the middle of the night? I can live with the site only if you start posting really, really hot finance girls. Or supermodels. Not wearing much.

DealBreaker has jumped the shark.
DealBreaker has jumped the shark.
the site looks alot like http://timothysykes.com/
What publishing service are you using? Is this tumblr or something?
the video never gets old
oh, I guess its MT. What template then?
so db and bess need a little love today? here you go…new layout means I don’t have to scroll through the ads to get to the articles on my blackberry (curve, bess); I have to admit it does look more professional (is that a good thing?); like the box that shows which articles have the most comments. phew. so can we get the black letters back now?
oh, I guess its MT. What template then?

I’m just glad there are no pink penises floating around on my screen… oh, wait.
The picture uploader is broken.
Wow…this new look is quite something…both ugly and user-unfriendly.
The layout isn’t too bad – it’s the italics for the comments that blows.
And let’s face it – not that the stories are bad, but some of us visit Dealbreaker just for the comments.
The only thing that sucks more than this website is DC and getting robbed in it.
DC is probably the shitiest city in the US (right behind Cleveland, of course). And I’m ashamed to live there, especially since I am not:
1. a Democrat
2. a Crackhead
3. a Meth-head
4. a Cokehead
5. a Pothead
6. an e-head
7. a prescription pain-killer-head
8. a criminal
DC sucks, this website sucks and we’re heading into a recession.
i can’t read this shit. this website layout sucks
I haven’t been this frightened of change since the new gal took over WallStrip.
I lead a pathetic and meaningless existence and the one small spark of value I can find in it is predictability.
Dam you!
As Mr. (Ms?) Garrison of South Park Colorado would put it. “You go to hell. You go to hell and you die!”
gayest. website. ever.
bess- you are a legend…
Italics? We don’t need no stinkin’ italics!
webest. gaysite. ever.
– ?
I keep seeing that word gay used over and over here today, always incorrectly. With all this gay on the mind, I’m thinking that this long weekend there’s going to be more than the usual number of “straight” boys coming home drunk and hard and climbing into bed naked with a roommate. Good luck. Remember to blame it on the liquor when morning comes. GAnalYst
Hideous Bess… Simply Hideous…
@ 4:12- you think bess did the redesign? check out her Bear posts, moron.
very hard to read. painful in fact. i can take your holier-than-thou sarcasm, but not your i-don’t-gave-a-crap-about-your-eyesight stupidity. your content isn’t worth the headache.
@ 4:26– bess is supposed to care about your eyesight? are you joking? and maybe take this up with their publisher and not their writers?
Less casual homophobia please.
Does anyone else think this looks a lot like CollegeHumor?
