When Headforpoints got its major redesign, I wasn't too happy about it. Over time, I've gotten used to it.
When OMAAT got this major redesign, once again I wasn't too happy about the layout changes. Over time, I may get used to it, but the old and new HeadforPoints layout makes for easier reading to my eyes than OMAAT's new layout.
Not everyone is in the "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" group; and I'm guessing that these redesigns are probably done to signify a change in tastes or in hopes of growing something. Maybe Raffles can tell us why his website won't go back to old versions which I found to be good enough for me; or at least give us a reminder of how retro is or is not in fashion and the order of the day.
