It had to be done. :)

Some other complaints I have are -
- New site wastes a LOT of space. Everything is much too spaced out and marketing-centric.
- Posts are missing time stamps.
- The SEARCH capability is not working well enough to find anything.
- You destroyed much of the forums-usefulness for me personally. By combining dozens of topics, old threads are too jumbled to make sense. The old forums needed a good 5-15% consolidation. You've done 80-90%.
- I cannot download TGE 1.5.2 anymore (probably a bug) only 1.4.
- Claims and marketing statements lack clarity and organization. Some are argueably half-truths and others are borderline false.
- Tutorial links appear broken.
I'm sure there's more I just can't recall at the moment. I wasn't concerned at all with the announcement of a new site, but after having spent last night poking around I'm both disapointed and concerned.
On the plus side I like the colors better. Hopefully the issues I've mentioned above can be addressed over time as the new site evolves. For the moment I feel lost and confused :sigh: Good luck guys.

I am also quite concerned with having lost access to hundreds of bookmarked resources and discussions. I find this almost ironic, just days after GG promised more complete documentation - they went and removed easy access to the best documentation they had in the form of resources, blogs and well categorized forum topics...Some other complaints I have are -

-Resources no longer have downloads attached or ratings.
-Auto login isn't working.
-Time/date on the forum (where it shows up) is incorrect with no preference setting to change it.
Personally I find the lack of resource attachments is my biggest issue, because it makes a large percentage of all resources completely unusable.
