abandoning the beta now isn't an outrageous course of action. as i've said before, it's better to be embarrassed at the dock than to sink at sea.

Personally I've come to like the beta, however I agree with you. I gave an SI member who had not seen beta a link to a beta post yesterday. He said "thanks for the link" and "I dont like the format".

SI should not be radically redefining its essence. Very bad marketing. The old format should be maintained as long as people want it. The features should have been introduced gradually.

That said- I dont see what it is that everyone dislikes so much. Its not that big a deal, its the posts that count!

The colors initially I found very depressing, but since the removal of the brown its fine now. The colors on the old SI seem a little overwhelming to me now.

The big blue bar at the top still looks absurd but I've gotten used to it.

I know its been discussed to death, just wanted to throw in a "who cares" opinion.

What I really want is for SI to be reliable! Get to work on that guys.
