Hi Jon,
I have spoken to a number on this.
-Some do not like to be "seen" on-line - feel they are being monitored.
-Some took the change-over as a a chance to make a break for it.
-Some are unable to log-on consistently.
-Some are unable to navigate the 'new-look' site easily.
I have personally considered and/or experienced all of the above and have some empathy with the feelings/frustrations. However, the new format has been successful in reducing SPAM, Troll and multiple identity postings. The Photo upload is much improved and all images can be backed up. The Forum data is also backed up and can be moved to other platforms, posts can be edited by users, HTML links and videos can be inserted easily etc. etc. etc.
