What happened here then?

Hi guys.

Just back from a few weeks in the wilderness so to speak to read up on a few forums and I have arrived at this monstrosity. As we all knew, the site was changing to be in line with modern culture and S*** like that but seriously this is taking the Michael is it not? It looks as though it has been dreamt up in the mind of a twelve year-old girl! It look ridiculous. Surely I can't be the only one to be so horrified?

I would delve into past threads on this subject but for fear of losing my eyesight...

Not the biggest fan, no. It reminds me of the Cbeebies website which my 3 year-old niece occasionally browses.

I'm all for making ATS a better and more welcoming and up to date place but it seems like the target group is teenagers.

...we all responded the day it changed over...it took a few days...then we all re-replied we were gettin' in...it will grow on you...and its really pretty cool

The last icon upper right corner that looks half-moonish? Clicking it will change your background for easier reading...either white on grey or black/grey on white...

They had to drag me from the old site here kicking and screaming. Once you find the button to make it dark and mysterious like it was and find out how everything works, it's ok and you get used to it.
