Still, such articles are often quite short and/or poorly written.

 

I would definitely not describe them as awesome. For one thing their interface is quite bad.

What's bad about their interface? In terms of layout, I actually like it. Just a quite simple list of articles in order, not all those big flashy things and photos of day old articles and so on. At least not that much.

If insidethegames interface is "bad", Around The Rings' must be a f****** disgrace

Lol Thohir is such a disaster. He always said that Asian Games is a success and trying so hard to bid for 2032 without realizing the ticketing nightmare in the Asian Games and lack of suitable venues.

 

Couldn't trust most of the candidates though.
