i liked the old design more than this!i was in love with the old design...the new is not bad but you cant compare this to the great old design!

I can see why the admin team is getting annoyed about people saying that the site sucks, but I don't see why they don't just put in a couple of different skins (with only a colour change between them).

It shouldn't be too much work (if the site is designed well) and would shut half the whiners up.

I have an ancient screen.
The new site does not fit.
I have to scroll sideways...
Otherwise it's OK

Subdomains don't cost anything.  (IE: clasic.vgchartz.com), and all the data is database driven.  So no, they would not be entirely separate and would be possible.  That said any changes to the database structure would require code changes on both domains, and who knows how much the database structure changed for the new design.

Maintaining two such sites would not be good, but is certainly possible.  Better to implement skins via css.

I can't see the whole width of the page on my screen, which is a bit annoying. I know there's a way to sort that out - anyone mind telling me how?

For perhaps the hundredth time, ZOOM OUT!

Right, because they're going to undo the changes for a few complaining people. If you were paying for membership, you might have a say in the matter. Yet, its a free site, so you're just going to have to adapt.

Personally, I think it looks a lot better. VGChartz looks grown up now. The old style made the site look kinda amaturish.

Unless my eyesite is getting messed up due to the backgrounds & font on the new vgchartz there's more than "few" people complaining , I don't think this dark/emo theme properly represents the Vgchartz I remember. Vgchartz isn't a non profit organisation , they still depend on every visit to the website so they can generate revenue through advertising , so either way Vgchartz profits from it's users.

BTW Vgchartz is kicking the crap out of my low end PC , the only way I can view the website is by disabling the adds otherwise my memory get's pwned. Get rid of the un-neccassery flash please.

The problem for me is strictly the color scheme change and slugishness when scrolling on pages.  I've noticed that the younger viewers like the color scheme and some of the older ones are complaining about it.  I'm finding it hard to stay on the site.  It's not very easy on the eyes anymore.  If this was the 90's I probably would have loved the color scheme but after having worked on many site designs myself I know that the color scheme easily offends those with poor eyesight or strained eyes.

Also from reading through the threads where you've asked for suggestions there is way more then 10 people who don't happen to like the color scheme.  There may be 10 people who are so against it that they are creating new threads about it. 

bad desing please bring back the normal version much better
