I will also continue to use the True Classic until SI turns it off.

I have tried all of the new versions. They are significantly slower and put a limit on the number of bookmarked threads that I can access.

It (the New SI) also loads all of my bookmarks before I can see them while the True Classic version loads bookmarks efficiently (to a user) by first displaying threads with new entries (and letting me click on one I am interested in while it is loading) before displaying old threads that I am interested in, but are not currently active.

Classic SI is not just look and feel (ie. a bandaid), it is functionality.

I find that with my browsing habits, Classic is comfortable and reasonably fast while the "New-Improved Classic" is simply a color scheme with the same poor functionality as the first beta version of the new SI and is slow -- slow -- slow.

If SI actually turns off True Classic without addressing these user issues, I will end up migrating to Raging Bull. IMHO, the RB interface is vastly superior to the New SI and is marginally worse than Classic SI interfaces.
