The classic format works very well for those that DO NOT access the site via a smartphone. The classic format works well on my iPad.
Given the likely average age of members, I would suspect that a majority do not want to access this site on a smart phone. However I understand the need to create a smartphone friendly OPTION (not wholesale change) to attract new and maybe younger participants.
I have waded into other forum sites and for the most part their participants bring much more in the way of agendas, vitriol, and bad feeling to discussions than those participating on AA. IMHO AA has evolved to the point where it is "just right".
Change of foundation can also have the unintended consequence of changing the way in which participants interact and eventually the collective tone of the site.
I will contribute, but forgo a bonus.
Thanks for everything.
