I'm not going to address the whole "site sucks" thing any more. It doesn't. In fact, it's 10x more usable than it was before.
What sucks is people's resistance to change, and there really are people out there so upset over moving away from 2001 Xoops that they actively, or at least mentally refuse to accept change in any fashion.
The problem is, the world has moved on from 1999 web technology, and those who can't accept that are only going to get more disappointed in the future.
