Yea, I'm going to miss this site too.
But I'm not going to miss its slowness. Or it's excessive complexity. We've all gotten used to it but the current site is a nightmware for new users. Links everywhere for things that most users don't know or care about.
And sure, the top authors and top downloads show on the main page here, but on the new site skinners get much more celebration. The top authors on a per section basis show up when you go to the library.
Go to the Litestep section here and the to authors ar ethe same as every page.
Go to th elitestep section on the new site http://www2.wincustomize.com/Skins.aspx?LibID=6 and you see the top authors of just the litestep section (Jafo #2
The current site doesn't have any concept of tutorials. New site will have tutorials on a per section basis.
Old site had no concept of letting non-skinners participate. If you were't a skinner, you had very limited means to contributing. Now, we have top article writers, top tutorial writers, top website advocates, etc.
And for those who just want to visit skins and theme,s the site is much simpler, much cleaner.
Let's say you just want WindowBlinds skins. Which is simpler? (check the library views)

or

The holiday themes and universal metal themes and such will come in time. We had to coe up with a new look first and then look ta adding different themes that would change the site during the course of the year.
