I think it's ironic, given how much people have complained in the past about the forum software here, and the search (which was in fact basically useless, but at least Google was always there to pick up the slack), and the 'host' system, and so on... and now that CW has dropped what seems - at least on the surface - to be a brand new, modern, sleek and fast replacement, with a structure that would seem geared towards increased relevance and focus... and so of course we immediately react with a giant Hey wait a minute, what's wrong with this forum, we like it fine the way it is, we never asked you to change it!
Ach, human nature.
I for one am cautiously intrigued. I will likely not focus much on optimizing my 'signal' for its own sake (just not wired that way), but I think the focus on quality answers to questions, and a content flagging system that should help, in an organic, community driven way, discourage some of the more egregious abuses that have gone on here for ages, are steps in the right direction.
