Its the weirdest decision to just make some of the boards redesigned and others not. Itll be jarring going back and forth instead of just getting used to it.

Maybe they're operating under the assumption that most of the regulars spend most of their time on the social boards, and are therefore only redesigning the game boards because those are the ones that newcomers are most likely to see (and, apparently, they think that it's a horrible look that will put off literally everyone that stumbles across it). Of course, the fact that they're outright saying "people won't like this, so we'll minimize the impact to our regulars" should really cause them to question how good an idea this is in the first place, since that very strongly suggests that they believe there's more reason to dislike it than the regulars' usual dislike of change (since they've made significant changes in the past in spite of that).

I'm honestly wondering if Lok was on to something with "it looks like the stuff I use adblock to block." Maybe they're trying to make it look continuous with the ads to drive up accidental ad clicks for more revenue.
