Yeah I've seen the examples. It still looks like change for the sake of changing to me.

People are now and have always been bitching about how limited they are with their designs, that all their sites look the same etc. I for one fail to see how having to cram more stuff on 1 page will give anyone more design options... if anything you'll have less space to move stuff around. If one doesn't have imagination now, it's hardly likely they'll gain anything by the new format either. Who said not to arrange all the recips in a single column with the old format? I've done it, others have done it... it was perfectly acceptable before as well.

I just don't know... It doesn't look good to me, not from a submitters' pov and not from a LL owner's one either. I mean... look: UW, since you're playing "devil's advocate" (I know, I know, you really belive in this). But you have 2 LLs, right? Do you think they'd both make the 40 cut? Because I'm tellin ya, all the people that you actually want submitting to you are now submitting to 60 or maybe 80 LLs, and they're not gonna mirror anymore if with the new rules. They're just gonna drop the "dead weight" and the "reciprocical" submits. So are you willing to pull out your gun and pull the trigger on whichever one of your LLs doesn't make it? Am I the only one seeing A LOT of LLs going under with this? And, ironically, I'm seeing that Greenie and MML and the other top dogs that don't have to worry about it are the ones fighting to keep them alive, while their owners are throwing celebratory designs around the board!

It's about time someone sums this up, and since kit dropped the bomb and left leaving us to fight amongst ourselves, I'm voting UW - cuz he said he could shut down our points but he just doesn't wanna argue with friends. Well I don't think anyone will consider it arguing. We just need to draw a line and check out the pros and the cons and see if the gain is worth the trouble, cuz there's something stinky here and I don't think it's just because Mateusz's feet smell

BTW, I REALLY like Mateusz's idea of placing 1 link on the root of the domain and be done with it!
