T206CollectorI am sure the move makes a ton of sense from an administrative point of view, but from a usage point of view it is like moving away from simple Google searches.
I concur that the new website is way too busy and that is always a bad thing in cyberspace. Keeping the board as close to a black and white, no frills, system should be the goal -- text and baseball card images is all we need.
Our audience is not the cyber-literate. I think this change is almost like asking people to give up their Sunday paper for a Kindle. While some will applaud the new technology, you'll be killing some of the audience.
Put another way -- you lose no contributors keeping this website; you certainly lose some by moving. And I fear the difficulty of use will have an impact on viewership and contribution. Our board is only as strong as its regular contributors.
