The older sites were much better. No offense to ioi, but this entire site is a mess. It seems like they picked a bunch of features from other sites and just kinda tossed them all together. One example, look at the page long avatars, with about another half page of junk below them. The sigs are also another problem, i have them disabled(thank god) but they were getting ungodly large and annoying. The around the network in the middle of forum threads is also rather bothersome.
The site is also rather difficult to navigate unless you spend all day searching for what you want.
I'm no web disigner but i think features the site has should be simple and to the point. If users are unable to find what they want within a few minutes you will lose them.
