Nope ;D

Joking aside, looks nice.

Take a bit getting used to, but doesn't everything?

Guess it makes sense to have the forums match the front page in layout, but I've always been slow to like change.

I do not wish to appear curmudgeonly, so I will wait a few days before deciding. I want to get used to the new layout and comfortable using it before my usual rush to judgement.  ;D

Edit: I think I like stars more than Lego blocks for counting posts. But it is not fatal.
I believe Gandhi is the only person who knew about real democracy — not democracy as the right to go and buy what you want, but democracy as the responsibility to be accountable to everyone around you. Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

What do you mean, it all looks the same to me.

My main concern is that I now see fewer latest forum topics because the font and the spacing is bulkier (the SBNation web designer needs to think more about efficient use of space, I guess).

this was a loooooong time coming but I know that Roy put in a lot of work to make sure everything looks and works right and I think he did a fantastic job

there's a lot of back end and functional stuff that has improved that Roy can speak more specifically to but trust me when I say this was for the best going forward

I know change is hard sometimes and not all change is good (hey sleeved jerseys!) but I think and hope this will grow on anyone that isn't immediately impressed with it

I was trying to contrast them with them, but I get your point

here's a better example - short shorts were fine for our fathers and grandfathers, but the long shorts are better now - better?

Sorry, don't like it one bit.  Hate it every bit as much as the front page.

The front page change a while back was the main reason I refuse to frequent that section of the blog anymore.  If I wasn't so tied to the DKC, this would probably have pushed me away entirely.

This is going to be really hard to accept.  It hurts my eyes.
