I liked the new MBs as far as looks and features, but not long after the update there seemed to be more newbies, more five-year-olds, more people obsessed about ranks, and the auto-mod is an utter failure.

As far the old MBs go - I made like 1,000 posts in three years so I'm not much of an authority on the subject of what people were like back then. Although I did observe a lot - still lots of newbs and spammers, although it did seem less, although that could just be perception rather than fact.

I don't have time to post anyway - regardless of if it was the old or new MBs. So I really don't care. :P
