Alright, I've seen that there are a lot of problems here. A lot of us have been doing it just fine with the old layout and all the goodness that it provides, it being easy to navigate and fine and dandy when you left it out, but when this update came, everything looked ugly. The comments section is just a bunch of boxes that nobody asked for, and many of the external links have turned blue, despite how much one will edit the thing to make it look nice.

Secondly, there is the fact that it could be pretty laggy out there. A hard-to-navigate system has overidden the old layout, and many of the editing options have been removed. The remaining/new editors have become laggy, unreliable, and honestly really annoying. The good thing that the old version had was that it was a lot more stable, more space to work around in and more organization for whatever you want it to be.

Thirdly, there are a whole lot of bugs in the system, nobody asked for it. You claim that the community asked for it, but nobody even asked for it, not a single soul. Honestly, that's the biggest insult that anybody can throw around. I haven't seen much of it until today, and even then, it feels like a big slap to the face with what happened. The editor is slow and many people are complaining about their wikis being removed or having their features removed. Recent changes is pretty ugly, too, containing edits from bots and extra bytes.

A lot of people are angry, myself included, and seeing what had happened, it's safe to say that I am not going to tolerate this. It's NOT the most requested, it's NOT the most improved, and it is NOT the greatest thing sinced fucking sliced bread. Don't you see!? It is a complete unnecessesity and totally uncalled for! Nobody wants it, likes it, or all that crap.

However, if you fix it, then things will get better, and people will actually find things a bit more lovely and manageable. Remove that damn downgrade, bring back old content, and while you are at it, just remove the damn thing. Some people might keep an eye on it, and it might get better, but I really doubt the situation there.

And if you demonize my user and remove this comment, then I'm as good as leaving this god-forsaken soon-to-be wasteland of unfinished features and rampant bugs. We are the community, and we are the voice. If we want to say something, then please... listen to our plea and make things better for us all. I don't care if you improve the new layout or go back to the old one, I want to see a wiki with some of the loved features back, a good amount of fun and games, and the likes galore.

In any case, I'm gonna be off for a while, and I might even think about it in the future. Until then, see ya.
