I don’t know if that’s true: this thread isn’t a broad poll, but likely to attract the people who liked to use the Download SGF feature for its non-cheating purposes. Maybe the hundreds and thousands of people who don’t use it will like that the chance of their opponent cheating now reduced from 5% to 4.5% of whatever it does, but they won’t come here to comment and say thanks.
I do think removing it in live games is good (I’ve previously advocated for always disabling analysis in live), in correspondence I’m less sure. I don’t mind that it’s gone as I no longer play correspondence, but was giving my perspective as a former serious correspondence player, as I do feel sometime OGS design decisions come more from the live-player mindset. But if OGS is now 90% live players and only 10% correspondence (anyone know?) that trade-off can make sense.
