Not in a financial sense (cuz we don't know how much coin was dropped to create the "upgrade")...but, in general, do posters "like" or "dislike" the new babble software?
Personally, I like the look of rabble.ca (the layout is more pleasing to the eye and more inviting).
But, the discussion board software absolutely SUCKS.
So, on balance, I think the "upgrade" was definitely a MAJOR downgrade.
