HSX was outdated with the old site, here is DMac's answer on the Player's Board:

Internet Browsers, the web itself, cell phones, & the Internet have ALL changed in the past 10 years. Basically, HSX had to update or the site would not progress. While there are things about the old site I liked as well, we have to give HSX a chance to tweak and improve this one too.
They had to change & adapt, otherwise the site would be using old technology and could not progress as it needed to.
Give them a chance, I'm sure this is still a work in progress...but progress in terms of technology was needed for them, otherwise the site would use 'dinosaur' technology.
