I guess so :p Although I think I can imagine it by your description.
Good, good.
Well, even though I found out (possibly again, I may have found out since 2005 when it happened, but just forgotten it happend... or more likely surpressed the memory, due to its horribleness. ;_;) the thread was deleted, at least I got to share the joys of it with one person one last time.
The page 1 layout or the page 2 layout? Page 1 layout was fine, but I like today's colours better. Page 2 layout is nice and black and simple, but I think the slightly more modern layouts of page 1 and the redesign are superior, colours aside.
Page 1 lay-out. I´ve never witnessed the page 2 lay-out since that was from before 2004(?).
Oh, you witnessed the page 2 layout, too. Not on the main portal and frontpage and bbs pages, no, but think of the profiles back during page 1 layout days. the profiles were still black background page 2 layout profiles.
That was one of the main problems (or benefits, for people like me who were a fan of the nice black backgrounds of 2003 NG) with the 2004-2005 era NG look... the admins had revamped a lot of the site, most of the main areas, but there were still tons of back areas (like top 50 lists, error pages, lots of other little-seen pages, plus profiles, which were the most notable thing, probably) that were on the OLD layout while this new layout had been unveiled.
That's one of the main reasons, probably, that they waited so long to get the redesign in 2007 done right. They wanted to make sure they could get the CSS every-single-damned-page-has-been-redesi gned plan to go off without a hitch. And yeah, there were some bugs and issues, but layout wise, they definitely succeeded at changing the entire look of the ENTIRE site, instead of just part of it like in previous redesigns.
What I liked about the page 1 lay-out is that everything seems so simple and compact. Nowadays everything seems so much bigger and there are so many new links and options on every page.
Well, even the old layout would have gotten more and more crowded and cramped as time went by. Much like our desktops, harddrives, inboxes, etc.... a website like NG is just gonna end up with more features, areas, links, sections, etc. as time goes by. It's the curse of computer bloat. #;-}>
