So let me start with, I guess, the bad news. In short, we will not keep the old SI site
available forever. There are a number of reasons for this, but a couple of key ones.
First, it doesn't make economic sense...
That's what Coke said/thought when they brought out new Coke and abandoned old Coke. Which, as we all know, was a HUGE mistake. The market forced them to bring back Coke Classic.
If Coke can maintain two Cokes, you can maintain two SIs <g>. It's a matter of what the market demands, isn't it??
BTW, I have avoided using the new site after my first foray there. But people keep posting me references to posts on the new site. Two things.
First: Now that I have seen more of it, I am even more adamantly convinced that it is a HUGE mistake. It is harder to navigate, much more cluttered, and, I'm sorry to say it, UGLY. Classic SI has simplicity, has the genius of form following function, not form being dictated by, I don't know what, but it doesn't appear to be function. UGH.
Second: I can't reply to those messages without signing into the new SI. This is a hassle. (Is it intentional to force people into the new SI?) I have to go back to the old SI, find the message, and reply to it there.
I am not normally a consipracy theorist. But you guys seem to be working hard to turn me into one! <bg> |
