Oh man. When did Television Without Pity change layouts again? It’s AWFUL. There are crazy huge images in your face everywhere, and you can’t see what reviews are new without scrolling down. They seem to have done away with the drop-down nav menus too, which means you can’t go straight to a show or forum anymore (artifially inflating pageviews). It sucks.
Oh, wait! I just discovered that you can go straight to shows and forums; they’re just hidden in a stupid huge javascript rollover menu. What was wrong with the old version? The rotting yet beloved corpse of Dawson’s Wrap must be spinning in its grave…
Five minutes later: Ahhhh. The founders left the site last month. That explains it. I went to Sars’s site to see if there was any word from her. Nothing but a link to a forum post that’s already since been erased. Wow, I’ve been reading that site for more than ten years and suddenly it’s just… gone. That sucks.

They made it uuuuugly. I’ve been reading TWoP off and on for the better part of a decade, and I just removed it from my bookmarks because I HAVE LOST FAITH!
It’s sad to lose the snark, no?
(P.S. OH HAI. I found your site on MeFi and enjoy reading about your yarny adventures. It’s good to have someone to mourn TWoP with, too.)

They didn’t redo the forums – which is the only part I care about, anyway.
The front page now looks like every other entertainment news website out there. Yawn.
