old.reddit.com is still usable if it helps!

  I still can't use the redesigned Reddit, I not even sure that I would, if I could. It's still way to slow to be something I'd use on a regular basis. If they kill of the old.reddit.com, I don't think I'd continue to visit Reddit. Imgur for instance isn't a site that I visit daily or even weekly any more. I really enjoyed the site, but after a redesign it just stopped being enjoyable. It's way to slow, to much Javascript. It's the only thing that will reliably force my MacBook to ramp up it's fans. How is it possible for a website to make a laptop heat up more than doing development work?

    The most frustrating thing to me about imgur is they way over-compress images on the mobile site. I always have to request the desktop site to get the original quality image. It's bad to the point that text on an image is often unreadable on the mobile site.

    Other than poor performance, the thing I'm most upset about is how each subreddit has lost its personality, and the fact they've closed the source. Being open is what made Reddit special, considering who founded it, it should never have gone closed source.

        They axed custom subreddit CSS stylesheets. It was very much like unstyled Reddit was a base to build upon.
