While I understand the desire to do something of a much larger scale, it's too bad that the new site didn't get a chance to go live before its replacement was planned. Not only is (was) it incredibly clean and easy to use, but it often wouldn't go down when the main site would. Last few BGG outages the beta site would still serve some content (sometimes nothing from the database, sometimes so). It was a lifesaver when trying to look up game FAQs at parties. =P
While I had to switch back to regular BGG on my laptop to do some things (mostly requiring geeklist manipulation), I used the beta site exclusively on my iPad for the past year, finding the interface significantly nicer (albeit still not made for a mobile device, sure). It turned off entirely a few weeks back. =( On Sunday, January 13, 2013 9:22:29 PM UTC-6, Crokinole Dundee wrote: > > Thank you for that really thorough update.
