Hats off to Kris for making every effort to smooth the transition (regardless of how well it's gone) and to keep the community in the loop as best he could. I'm sorry to see that this has gotten you so down. Don't take it too personally. I'm frustrated too, but I'm giving it a shot. I have to admit that the few changes that have already been made since this morning are moving us in the right direction.
Regards,

Stop stressing about it, and move on. Really.
I'm not a religious person, but there is some truth in this:

I feel for you too Kris. I'm actually surprised at just how many cry babies there are (were) on Audiworld. FWIW, KAWF has it's charm, but I prefer vBulletin/phpBB styled forums. The change is like IRC fanatics complaining about having to move to Jabber

Count me among the whiners. Silly me, I don't want to have to wade through multiple pages to see who has posted recently, and in what threads. I prefer to do it one page load.
ymmv.

Yeah, maybe, but it does have some similarities. Anyway, it's the first analogy that popped into my mind. 
True, but I never used the old thread listing, instead going to the specific forums that interested me. The one big thing for me with vBulletin/phpBB styled forums is that at a single glance, I can see new or updated threads in a given section...and, we can finally have true FAQs stickied to the top of the forum to so that we don't see the same questions over and over again followed by "STFA!" or animated GIFs of an arrow pointing at the search button (which is pretty funny, btw).
What I don't understand are the people who are so up in arms over the change that they're leaving AW. I work in IT and I've BTDT. When the users rant and rave over the same thing over and over, it gets the point where you just say, "whatever, dude. it is what it is."
just my $.02
