Yeah, it is a free site, but if it becomes not comfortable for people and they just stop participating, it is a free EMPTY site. If you are a member of more than one site you have to ask yourself why you go to those sites and ignore all the other ones out there. Part of it is because of the participants themselves, we end up bonding with each other and forming friendships and look forward to chatting with those friends. But another part of it is how the site itself "feels'.

I can't explain what makes one site feel better than another, but it is a real factor in why I gravitate to some and don't go to others. The old format just felt right, and even though it went down occasionally, we still kept coming back. So far I have not heard the exact reason this change was even made.........not that Brent owes us that explanation, but since we are family..............

I agree that the new format sucks. There is nothing I like about it, and from a few conversations and emails I have exchanged with friends on here, they are not fond of it either. It is more than resistance to change, it is like going to your favorite restaurant for years and suddenly they change the menu. You might try it for a while, but chances are you will stop going there and look for one that suits you better. That is how I feel about CHR today.
