What is everyone's opinion on android central lately? I feel like their articles are turning more in

[Eunice SLange]

Just curious on everyone's thoughts. Seems android police is the only legit site left...

Edit: Wow I had no idea so many people felt this way. Android Central used to be my favorite site...I guess I just didn't want to see it. I hope the editors of AC are reading this. Go back to the old ways. We don't need a top ten list. We don't want to click through ten pages to read your favorite phones of the week. Stop trying to sell us the crap in your store by disguising it as reviews.

And to the people saying I'm just an AP fan boy...I recently started reading there (couple months ago). They are brutally honest and I like that. I can trust what they say, because if something is crap, they straight up tell you.

Welcome to Android Central! I respectfully and whole-heartedly disagree. I feel that the articles and reviews by the staff here are excellent, and I'm not just saying that because I'm an Ambassador (which means, by the way, that I'm a volunteer and not paid in any way by AC). I'm not really sure what Top Ten lists you're referring to, and I certainly don't get any sense that they're trying to push anything from ShopAndroid. There have been excellent tutorial articles recently--for example, from newcomer Ara Wagoner about Google+. And the editorial staff continues to report news in a deliberate and methodical way, without falling quickly for the various false rumors about new devices that fly through the ether like locusts.

But hey, there are tons of resources out there. Find the one that works best for you.

Long time lurker huh?

My only complaints are the following: (1) experienced users stop being uppity (2) people being a troll (there's a fine line between disagreeing and being a *****) (3) opening up a thread only to find someone posting multiple times about something they created. Once is enough. Show a link in your post. I sometimes feel like I'm in a advertisement (wallpapers etc). Even though I lurk in all sections I learned an awful lot. Phil's post the other day about AC etiquette should be mandatory reading.

It comes with the territory, unfortunately. I think AC is much better in this regard compared with other sites that shall remain unnamed.

(3) opening up a thread only to find someone posting multiple times about something they created

Sometimes this is due to inexperience with the posting process, and other times it's due to a the member wanting to increase exposure of his or her question in different subforums. When I see duplicates like that, I usually try to answer one of them, and then post a link to that particular thread in the other duplicate threads.
