  I love that this is the solution to all the logged-out user crap they've pulled lately.

  Alas, I suspect it means they will drop old. in the near future.

      I hate this one. Particularly when I’m looking for SFW info.

      I straight up choose to stay ignorant if it’s the only option

    We’ve been speculating they will drop old. for quite a while now. Im wondering why they haven’t yet.

      Yep. Maybe they want to keep the MAU figure up while getting all the data from the majority that use normal / the app.

      I know I only use old and not logged in if there's something I need to see on there.
