I don't actually mind this site so far, though. It had the same feel/design - just a bit more dated-looking.
If you are referring to this site, frankly I am not too impressed with this washed out look, as well as some of the other technical changes which makes it harder to do what you want to do. I have already voiced my opinion, but it seems that everyone today wants to shun vibrant colors and go with a dull and unimpressive look. And once a "trend" begins everyone want to follow the trend whether good or bad.
On the positive side freedom of speech is still in place over here, and the thought Nazis have not arrived (as they exist on some other Christian forums). There is a huge Leftist and Fascist movement to shut down free speech and censor everything that does not fit into the globalist (Satanist) narrative. That caused a lot of harm and a lot to damage but no one will be held accountable.
It is a shame that just out of the blue Christian Chat has shut down without any warning. I'm not sure if the government censors targeted that site but that could be a possibility. Now it is all coming out how Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc were all targeted for censorship with the full cooperation of the owners.
