I have seen this A TON in response to people not liking the new layout. Everytime someone says they don't like it or the old b.net was better some asshole comes in and says "You see those blue letters at the top of the page? That means this is a beta hurr-durr" You people are throwing this around as if b.next is going to be completely different from the beta... The fact that it is a beta means that is is pretty late in development... For example, how different was Halo Reach from the beta? Sure there were minor changes but the game in itself was still the same. So what I do not get is why you people are hidding behind the blue letters... What happens when the word beta is gone and the site is still a monstrosity? I do not get why people think the actual site is going to be completely different and an absolute utopia.

You fail to realize how loosely the term "beta" is used in web design compared to any game's beta. This isn't a game in development with mechanics. This is a website, code that can be completely altered in a fraction of a time to that of a game in beta, to change the overall design and flow of a page. Quit confusing yourself.
