That's a joke, right? A funny "Haha Web2.0" redesign, right? Right? Because I can barely read this shit

What's wrong with it, exactly?  The front page has needed an update for years.  Keep in mind that it's still being tweaked.

I don't think it's a bad start.

This just feels joke-y. I like the old feel of the homepage. Content front and center, new stuff on the right. Now there's like 95 columns of all kinds of shit and it just looks like those joke redesigns they do every couple months.  It also looks like Babble.com

It's absolutely fucking terrible. i thought it was a parody front page like they used to do back in the days. I don't like the direction the site is taking, they started censoring swear words, LowTax is cracking down hardcore on any complainers, and the forums are getting really lame, especially gbs.

That, or i'm outgrowing forums :(

SA forums are overrated. There are official threads for fucking everything, which really makes for shitty reading. A few official threads for various subjects that would pop up often is cool, but dozens of "official threads"? Ug. And threads get pruned way too quickly. I do like how they have no tolerance for trolls, but honestly, I just don't read their forums that often, and I've paid for 'em.

I don't really like what they've done either. I only really checked the photoshop phridays and a few other things but now I can't even tell what categories the things on the right belong to anymore.
