Can we have the old site back?

Ok, I made this thread because of 2 reasons:
1. I (like most others) want the old site back.
2. The other threads I've seen on this subject are sort of rude.
Anyway, here are my reasons why I personally want the site back to the way it was before.
1. There is no color on this website, the other one was full of life and was colorful, but now look! There isn't even any color in the new logo! The reason why I chose Torque rather then Unity or other game engines was because of the first impression of fun and colorful games, rather then another boring WWII game.
2. Glitches, glitches, glitches... Everywhere you look there are glitches! Shouldn't the website devs be the one's to test out the new website BEFORE it came out? Or at least put this website in a optional beta stage where we can choose which site to go for. THEN they release it when the bugs are out... Basically you recreated Vista!
3. The layout of this new site is poor. The only page I like of this new website is the front, because it is the easiest to get to. My least favorite is the community page, where you can't tell the difference between whether it's unread posts or unread blogs.
Those are my 3 reasons why I do not like the website, what do you think?

I just wish the resources was organized into different categories like they used to be.

@Andreas: It is on our list of priorities, and it is something we want to get to very soon.

Well, if we are talking about things we would like, I'll throw one out: A lot of times, GG employees (and associates) will start a post that is not necessarily a sticky. But, I don't always know all the developers by name, so I only read the post if the title interests me. It would be very nice to have the author's name one color if they are a GG employee, another color for associates and one final color for everyone else.

Distracted...
It is possible to change any websites' color[s] & art on your computer depending on your browser. So far as glitches and usability go they have made a good start on fixing those issues so we can't really complain about that anymore.
