I think it was sort of unexpected. After 1500 days or whatever, it was kind of weird to change the format--and I'm not big on blog sites, to be honest. I'd rather write plain old simple straightforward HTML myself than have some unfeeling system design something for me. Plus, I liked that our first names & locations were used rather than IDs--I think changing our names partway through is confusing, and I liked that our ages were posted before without birthdates. But, you know, we're most of the way through the days, so whatever works.
It's always hard to accept change. I don't especially like the new format, and I think the fact that you see some postings when you add your own can alter your response. But I am primarily glad that the project has started up again. It was too close to the goal to cancel.
Its alright. I preferred the old format but understand how that would grow unmanageable. Its kind of nice to be able to skip a few days and just scroll down the list of questions and see which i missed and answer late. (rather than letting emails pile up in my inbox) So there is definatly some convenience for those of us who slack.
Given the choice between 2000days not continuing and 2000days continuing in a format that is easier for Felicia... not doubt about it, I'll take the new version.

I know this way is easier for Felicia but I really prefer the old look.
I prefer the old look, too...but I can get used to this.

Change is inevitable. I'll save my discontent for more important issues.
I wasn't a part of 2000 days in the old format. I started posting in January 2005. So, I can't compare.
