Fossiliferous, can you go into more detail about why you feel the change will be disastrous? What functions and options stand out to you the most as "missing"? Things like search, following, image upload, tagging (the same function as topics in the Forum) are all coming. Those are just a few examples.

Development is ongoing, and we're at the stage now where we can sequence things based on feedback and community needs. But it's important to hear about the details. Feel free to respond here or to use Special:Contact to let us know more.
