"I don't think a full-screen menu is necessary for a desktop targeted website, and we should be able to develop a menu more conducive to the environment that the application is being used in.
We have a mobile app for the mobile users, so the website should be targeted at desktop users. So a desktop-appropriate interface should be used."
This. I really dislike the current trend towards interfaces more appropriate for smartphones.
I'd like to thank the team for all the improvements, but this one, - the interface change, is not really usefull. The new menu button, looks really good, but the useabillity can't be compared to the previosly version. Can we have an option to restore the old look and feel please?
The space bar normally is used to scroll down. So I think it's not a good idea. Moreover, I join the users who don't like the new menu idea.
I really like the new screen. I think it's very sleek and modern, it's like a contents page. Some of the people I've introduced to this site have complained that it's too cluttered. I think the new home page removes that clutter, it makes it very clear and very obvious where things are and what to do.
Some of you are obviously annoyed that it is not as easy to make games. Well, I do have an idea on how to combat that, and I'll post my own mock up. Don't expect the talent of Clarkey or thibault....
I like the new interface. All the stuff (new features like video included) is easier to find in the main menu, not splitted around in the main screen like before, it was a bit confusing.
I like it and i use PC.
I think the change is minor, but unnecessary. What I think does not matter, though.
As with most changes here, it is not about the public's desires.
Changes happen here that many people complain about, and come seemingly out of nowhere.
Don't expect changes to be reverted back, guys. It's a losing battle. It's like the touch-move rule. No takebacks.

I'm using the spacebar to scroll down.
It's not the best idea to override the browser shorcuts.
Took me literally 300 hours in MS Paint.
That's my "third way" proposal.
The "middle box" could even be replaced by the TV. Now I've thought of that, I actually prefer that idea. That'd be an awesome home page - everything easily organised for you, with your most obvious stats just there to see, with the TV doing a great blitz game for you to watch.
How does it appear for Anons?
I think this screen should become the default screen and replace the home page.
<<--That looks horrifying, man.
Anyways, I *can* see the merit of the new menu. It's designed to make things less convenient and accessible. It forces compartmentalization and slightly more decision making as to what you want to do.
Damn, you do not see that now take two clicks to enter a submenu site?
Such improvements upsets me. While the interface is sorely lacking in lightness and usability. Such as a bookmark seeks game or the ability of hidding/reducing all these useless information boxes on the home page. Now they add even more extra fat balls.
