Yes, disaster is too harsh. There was clearly a decision to move to a
more graphically pleasing front end and to use more sophisticated
linking tools. But we've lost functionality and resources as a result.
I often used the SSA website as a pass through to other soaring
resources. But those links are no longer easily accessible. As a
result, I visit only once every week or two unless a contest is in
progress.

I don't mind the notion of spicing up the home page. That's a
marketing decision. But we've lost a good number of resources during
the transition. I had expectations that they would slowly return, but
now I'm wondering if they ever will. I suspect resources are limited,
and we are now devoted to developing the site rather than maintaining
its content.

Disaster? Seems kind of harsh for a web site that's done everything I
wanted done: member locator, contest reports, contest rules, Johnson
articles.
