Anybody here on starwars.com

I did for the longest time. I was on there every day, in nearly every section, and I'd be on there for hours posting and going through threads, and I had even joined a chat thread. And then they changed. They went from a simple layout with white background and dark blue text to this weird eye-straining green with drop-down menus that take forever to figure out and are just a big hassle to deal with. And pretty much overnight I stopped going. I dropped by once about a year or so ago just to see what the forums are like now and nothing looked interesting at all. It was mostly a bunch of threads going "favorite character", "which lightsaber color would you have", "which droid is your favorite", etc. Even the fans section was so overly politically correct and in line and proper that I just didn't feel like spending all my time discussing the weather. Plus I'm not a hyperspace member anymore so I can't even go to the members only section to read through the interviews.

As a whole I'm really not impressed with their site. Their home page is so ridiculously impossible to navigate I can't even find the news section. It's cluttered, there's too much going on. I have sw.com on an RSS feed so I see the news as a simple list of headlines and little blurbs about what the article is, which is how it should be.

Well I have one again..

They changed the forums a few weeks ago, it's so much better now. I've been meaning to go back and take a look around but I keep forgetting.
