I'm not feeling the new MySpace-like profile stuff either. Why does every forum site now have something that showcases who my friends are?? I go on theknot.com for wedding planning, and they just did a similar overhaul - redid our simple bios to turn them into Myspace-like pages with friends and blogs and photo albums...why? I don't understand why all forum sites try to be like myspace. If I wanted a myspace page, I'd just go there...
I also am very sad about the loss of Active Topics. New Posts is very unorganized being that it is not separated by topic, and makes it super hard to just do a quick glance at the posts that might interest you (for instance, I was never interested in the Fan forums on the old bhuz, and with Active Topics I could just scroll past them, usually on to the Swap Meet forum, which was where my main interest was.....)
I'm sure I'll get used to the new bhuz, and I appreciate all the work that has gone into it. I'm not even going to email Rosey about the 100+ posts of mine that are missing because I don't want to bother her with that...I know she has more important things to worry about than feeding my posting-ego.
I'm just kind of sad that many internet forums seem to be going in the "look how many friends I have, I'm so popular" vein since the popularity of myspace has exploded...it seems so high-school.
