Welcome, is this thing on?

maybe its the nostalgia or its the fear of change in general but so far I do not like this new forum. 
lack of dark mode is the first main thing,  then the topic areas look less like separate topics and more like a chat list, every topic looks like it would be a reply to a main thing, the 2 color gradients separate each topic was nice.   inside post themselves like here also have a small separation between chats helping to separate
 also topics only featuring the title and not the first sentences either which IMO helped make it look less like replies. (maybe the alternating colors or topics will help this)



and sorry idk where else to put this a general feedback post would have been good to get people's opinions
