why does AT keep pushing this and the "keep calm" poster?

people, please, they've only covered this in california so far - still need it posted on the NY and CHI boards.

Keep calm.

All this talking about 'keeping calm' is making me nervous

I'm sick of this poster, no matter what it says.


And thanks for explaining the Sex Pistols for me--I've always wondered about that. I thought maybe they were really, really patriotic.

100% awful!

this should have been in HOT or NOT.

NOT!!!

I'm so in love with this brilliant phrase and the clever, stunning graphics that I sure hope AT keeps posting something about it perhaps once a week or so.

Don't the bloggers in other cities read the other cities' blogs???

It's been said...

potluck -- i think the majority of AT readers read the ENTIRE site, not just their city's feed. the fact that this freaking poster hasn't been covered by every. single. regional AT team doesn't mean that we need to see them over and over and over again.

Maybe it's because they have too many bloggers per city posting whatever quick thing they see. They miss the first instance because it dropped off the first five pages too quickly. It doesn't matter we saw this before, it doesn't even seem topical enough for a first pass. I mean, it's har-har, we can't seem to get away from this stupid poster, but it's hardly fitting with the mission, is it?

It's just not feasible to expect a substantial post each time from each poster, is it? Occasionally, they will be overly impressed with something stupid everyone knows about, hates, because it's more common in certain parts of the US or whatever. BUT, why are we being subjected to mountains of filler that run good articles off the page? I don't want 4 cities of 80% crap they found in a catalog or lazily surfing online. I cringe as it is if I see something on AT that was posted on someone else's blog entirely more than 2 weeks ago. Late to the party. Then someone else posts it days later. Depressing. It would be great if 4 blogs each brought something really distinct to the main blog or just drop the pretense of having it divided by city. There's no real difference now except some bloggers are better and some are poorer at what they do, and they happen to be divided by cities.

Tighten up the standards, stop trying to add mediocre (mostly) new bloggers with marginally interesting additions. One good 4 city blog or 4 good city blogs, either way, please enforce a little more quality, including checking for duplicates. There's no reason to have 4, for all intents and purposes, identical Apartment Therapy blogs.

ThankS!!!!
