I agree with your last paragraph, but all the other sentences were complete nonsense. For example where did you make up that 3 years? There's no specific time table for that. You just have to follow the trends in web design and make your decisions based on that.
There seems to be always few loud people shouting that they don't like the new site. It was like that in Youtube and it everywhere else. People tend to write negative comments/feelings more easily than positive. I have seen few negative comments but also much positive comments too. I bet you haven't 'cause you have so strong opinion that you close your eyes from anything else.
But like I said - the overall change was good but there's still much room to improve. Like those mascots, stadions and assistants.
I also think that there would have been much else to do than new outfit but it seems that we can't affect that much. Game engines are still a mystery. Developers don't say anything about how it works, because we have to find it out ourselves. Well, it has been 10 seasons in hockey and 6 seasons in football and I think no-one has solved it. Economy seems to be out of control - for example top teams make enormous amount of money with little costs. Maybe that will change with time but anyway it shouldn't be like this now.
Wow, got little drifted away but it is now said anyways.
Yea and btw how old are you using four questionmarks in a row?(???)
