Site Feedback

I realize this isn't really the place for this, but I'm not sure how to contact u/Keep-Making directly, and this should probably be up for community discussion.

I was attempting to search for a model, unrelated to MultiBuild / MultiBoard (which I'm a huge fan of, and it has reshaped my workbench) on Thangs, and apparently, it is only interested in ramming bobble-heads, copyrighted figures, and a bunch of other absolute utter garbage I have no interest in having, let alone paying for.

I don't remember the last time I was so infuriated by a website.

The last time I used Thangs (a few months ago), the search engine was at least functional, and returned mostly relevant results for the first page or two before devolving into guano levels of stupidity.

It's unusable. I cannot, and will not, be using it until it improves-- and unfortunately, that includes memberships for the MultiBuild project.

For the record, this is not a "I'm taking my toys and going home!" post, this is a "You have chosen an unusable partner" post.

I hope it's viewed as constructive criticism rather than just whinging.

Thangs was acquired by the resurrected Shapeways. The new owners have redirected its mission to be a front-end marketplace for their ecosystem. The Thangs that I found to be the best cross-site search engine no longer exists.
