Petition for Old Chess.Com

The old Chess.Com was so much better. We want it back! If you are with me please agree in the comments. The new Chess.com cite is bad!!!

I will not sign. 

The new chess.com rules!

Change or die.

I agree but they are going forward with it anyway. I'm gonna give it a chance and see if I can adapt.

I like the new chess.com, actually I have forgotten all about the old one. What was it like again?

What is so great about v2? v2 had one of the most horrible layouts I Have ever seen in my entire life.

v3 is the "strongly encouraged" form of chess.com

either get on this train- or you won't be invited to the inauguration and a certain someone will make your life miserable with tweets to hordes of awful, despicables that will burn you house down.

v3 will last 4 years- global recession will happen, nuclear war will burn, and no one in the whole world will like you...

.....

you know I am talking about chess.com-  similarities to anything else is NOT intentional.

the real point here folks is that it is Happening.  Get on the train and hope it doesn't crash and burn...

Just play the game

Ha!

if no one grumbled about the new v3.  what would this place be like.  a ghost town?!  even our resident Mexican troll would have moved to more exciting places

(like knitting.com)

a warm thank you for those keeping the lights on.

Please support the petition with your voice.

If the developers would speed up the new site, we might not be have this conversation.  The old site used html tables and extensive use of javascript.  But with html5 and css and less javascript, you get more functionality but less speed.  so speeding up the site may not be all that possible.  Plus browser developers are trying  to get away from old style html.

Picture of old site is in the petition.

why do you think so?

 To be fair, that topic is a mixture of support for v2, support for v3, asking and answering questions on how to do things in v3, etc. And there is a small sub-section of the community posting there.  Probably 10 members account for 50% of the posts there

The new chess.com is better than the old. 

Thank you @Erik for making a major improvement to the site. The interface, for a start, is much much better in the new version.
