Why do I have the sinking feeling that you are right. As much as I am looking forward to the new icons, I fear the chaos they will bring. The last thing we will need is more hand icons. I am nearing level eleven on this account and already there on another, I hate it with a passion. Level eleven is one of the worst level icons in my opinion. I just want to fly through it and get to level twelve. Even though it is a hand icon, it is a lot better.
I really like what we have seen of the new levels, but who knows how far through the lsit those will be. We could get stuck with ten different versions of the lollipop for all we know. I am not looking forward to it. We have always needed new ones, I just hope it was better thought out than what they are trying to do to forum sigs. Some of the ideas they are throwing out there are starting to worry me.
Personaly I like the forums, and the site, the way it is now. Aside from the mindless group of morons posting on it, I do not see a problem. Everything I have heard is "streamline this, streamline that". I think it is going to look very futuristic, and not in a good way. I know they know what they are doing, I just feel users should have had more of a say in it. We, after all, are the ones who use the site most.
Just like with anywhere else, it is the users that make it what it is. If everyone just stopped what they do, there would be nothing left. Newgrounds really should have incorporated more user involment with the changes. I know they get activity from the users here in various ways, such as monthly voting, so why not with this? We have all been kept in the dark on thwe whole subject, it shouldn't be that way.
Not knowing what is going to happen until they throw it at us really sucks. Look at when they changed the banner buttons. That, although minor, had many flaws when it originaly hit. It just seems as though it would make more sense to ask users first, rather than try to fix it after. Why make more work for themselves when it is not needed? The whole things seems very strange to me.
