Only 29 Forums?!?
I don't think I implied that you can't read, only that you chose not to.
A new user to any forum is going to be confused, and will make mistakes. A lot of what moderators do is correct those mistakes. We have tried to minimize having to make that effort by having fairly clear instructions both in the announcement section of the new site, and as a yellow announcement at the top of every page in the FUD site to highlight the differences between the new and old.
Anyone is welcome to like or not like any site on the Internet. All we can do as operators is try to make the site as attractive and useful to users as possible. Part of that was getting away from the buggy and not very well supported FUD software. That change caused major upsets in the way everything gets done, and the tools to migrate FUD data from 4 different cross pollinated member databases didn't work. The result is we are pretty much in the same situation as when we started with FUD in 2004, having to archive old data, and learn a new way of interacting with the site.
We will continue to learn new ways of interacting with the site as it develops over the coming months. As the users point out issues they get considered. Not everyone's personal ideas will get implemented, but most of what will get implemented will come from users. It's really all we can do.
