This is going to sound kinda weird, but the best way I can explain my feelings is that this new system feels cold and impersonal. I liked the old f!s for its spouts of randomness - it gave the place personality. Now, we're just packaging f!s up all nice and tidy in a pretty little package and keeping things organized and blargh...

Ever heard of this situation?

So, you have two uncles. On one side is the penny-pinching, immaculately-pressed-collared-shirt-wearing, dull-as-a-doorknob Uncle Ted. He's neat and organized, obsessive-compulsive, and extremely professional. He seems like he could be a cool guy, but never breaks away from this tradition to relate to your level. Instead, he always stands on a pedestal, someone to look up to, but not completely relate to, because he's not personable... or impersonal... or friendly even. Might even seem like a stuck-up jerk.

And then there's your Uncle Butch. Lazy, unorganized, pot-smoking hippy (not to be insulting). He ain't all that successful, and your parents definitely wouldn't approve of you aspiring to be like him, but he's fun, friendly, and all-around good guy. Always reliable for a good time and many laughs.

This is probably a really bad analogy (and I'm certain I'll have people jumping down my back), but it kinda sums up my feelings. I wanna hang out with Uncle Butch. I'd rather keep Uncle Ted off the side, separate from my fun-times.

Long story short: Let's keep this place more fun, pleasant, and random.

But since I'm in the minority, I guess it doesn't matter.

This. It's a chore posting every damn comment in different threads (where they get lost among all the other comments), and I'm here to have a bit of fun. Normally I'm all for being neat and organized but not during happy fun times.

I really wonder what's so great about this new system aside of having to press Ctrl+F less than before, that's causing the overwhelming number of votes on "yes"...
