OMG, it's so like, incredibly, like, amazingly, so, like ...

WARNING: The following post contains opinions that may offend sensitive readers. Reader discretion is advised.
The menu's are a little sleeker in look, granted. But everything else sux. Forgive me if I re-itterate anything stated already, but here's my dislikes:
1)I don't like this
faw kidz mentawity ("for kids" mentality) as it's misleading - this includes "for teens" btw.
2)I really HATE the massive slideshow across 3/4 of my display! Why are so many sites doing this. A static logo with a small slideshow along the top or bottom is just as good (although I'd rather not have the slideshow but, well, hey).
3)Don't like floating menus. Menus should stay at the top of the page, not follow me as I scroll down.
4)Sorry, I just saw the "Game Making for Kids" logo again. It looks terrible. I'm going to throw up.
5)The categorization of everything is kinda, ... yeah. It sucks okay! I preferred the old product menu - although admittedly it needed to be tweaked a little. This new one makes it harder to find anything.
6) Loading speed sux for people with bad connections. It seems to take longer to load the home page than but I'll stand corrected.
7) It seems to be aesthetically geared towards the masses (Okay, I get, it, marketing, tgc is a business... But aaaaah!). Seriously, just looks like all big and flashy.
8) [EDIT]
Misunderstanding, IGNORE this point. I stupidly got the promotional thing mixed up with the other thing and poured that into the first thing and put it in a blender.... [/EDIT]
It caused the product's to all go up in price. At least I assume it's why they went up. "There is no such thing as coincidence".
9) Overall, the look's too frantic and busy.
Okay, done being a hater. I swear, I'm not trolling here, but seriously, the new look is horrible. It follows popular web trends too much. But hey, I'm just an opinion. In a business it's the majority that counts right? So I'm not saying "trash it" or "it's bad". I'm just saying that
I don't like it. The old look was simple and not over-the-top. I would have preferred it to be even more minimalistic and compact truth be told. So, please don't anyone at TGC take offense, I'm an original little snowflake and I prolly represent the vast minority (except where "game making for minors" is concerned).
I offer a prayer now to the Cyber God to please never let the layout of the forums change.
