or is the new DU format pretty but useless?

Used to be you'd see the most recommended on the home page, and you could see most of the forums links

1. This does feel like a lot of the substance has gone out of DU

I used to feel like when I came here I had most of the news worth knowing. I could wander for hours. Now, not so much.

I hope it changes in a positive way for more good information. Happy New Year!
