So, the change to the new system is meant to go ahead this week. O_O
All this old look will be gooooooorrrrrrrrrrn, replaced by the new green and gold look- those are Australian sports colours so it basically means the site is becoming rabidly Aussie.
Fair warning.
Anyway, I'm scared.
I look forward to the new front page though.

LAST DAYS....
I think it will be a rocky transition the first couple weeks, but prolonging it at this point is just silly. Might as well just do it, have people deal with whatever they have to deal with because of the new system, and move forward. There's going to be people who are unhappy but there will also be people who like it. And hopefully they'll be able to dedicate more fully to making whatever improvements we ask for to the new site, once they don't have to worry about the old one.
I haven't been a DD member for even one year yet, but I'm already feeling nostalgic for "the old place".Make a comic out of it.
It's like we should be taking a variety of screenshots to remember the family homestead.
"This is what things looked like when the site hit the alchohol kiddies. Now remember, don't do drugs kids. You'll look like this!"
I've been through a few comparable circumstances with websites before. I'm not really holding the torch a perfect launch or a perfectly operational new website. What I'm really hoping for is continued improvement.
I'm just worried that they are busting their butts trying to get this website up, and once it's finally launched they'll be slow to fix the bugs that it'll be (inevitably) frought with.
Not that I don't have faith in the programmers mind you.
Either way I agree with Skool. I'm not one of those "pull the bandaid off reeeeeeeaal slowly" types, I'm more of a "RIP IT OFF AND BE DONE WITH IT" kind of girl. Let's get this site change over with! I'm ready to be broken in on the new color scheme. I'm sure after a month or so with it I'll barely notice it anymore *crosses fingers*.
[edit]
Fuuuuu–
That song is stuck in my head now. Gonna be humming it for days! And that's even the worst part of it. I only know like the first line of the chorus!
"I come from a land down under! Where wheummm uhuhm huhm hhummeremmm and humermmre thunder!"
FML.

an yet they still dropped some acid to made the new design
fresh colour schemethe electric Easter egg -FLASH- raising a "new breed" of ducks
and if the site runs faster, and I hope and believe it will, the new breed of duck will say "quick" instead of "quack"
ooooooooooh. Ah. you see, I think Genejoke's right. customization and any other dispensations will be harder to come by on the new site . . .and if the site runs faster, and I hope and believe it will, the new breed of duck will say "quick" instead of "quack"but I like saying quack :'(
maybe if you say quack really fast it will sound like quick
*some very funky pictures come up when you google "tongue in cheek*
In theory we will have a fresh colour scheme and a smooth running site, but lose the ability to customize things fully for a little while.
losin costomization jus for a little while? this sounds alot like quantum mechanics - its string(ing you along) theory
You may think that but I couldn't possibly comment.
… Or are all we in for is repainting the old car, with it's bad breaks, poor steering, and broken blinkers?Definitely NOT!
100% no to that.
It'll be a brand new car that we're shovelling all our stuff into, but like some new cars there'll be weird knocking sounds from under the hood, no spare tyre, acceleration will seem too fast and the breaks will seem too slow, it'll handle corners differently and the gears will seem a bit stiff, new features will still need to be factory installed at a later date, and it'll have that disgusting "new car smell" that always makes me sick to my stomach for the first few weeks, But like most new cars you'll get used to its foibles and a lot of things will smooth out over time.
