That said, I question your reasoning. By your logic we should still be running Apple ][ and MS-DOS computers (and of course, whatever you started out with is what a Real Computer is). After all, Microsoft Windows and Macintosh System were a complete rewrite (well sorta, in one case) of the operating system, again, which just expected people to be okay with the changes.
I didn’t quite phrase what I meant in the most eloquent way, but perhaps a better way to phrase what I meant was:
The changes are frustrating because google has yet to reindex your forum. Therefore all external searches lead to dead pages. This external form of search tends to be be better, since the search is integrated into my browser, and Google search engine only does search, making it find better results.
Change can be good, but what caught me off guard is it was sudden, and not done in a way that was handled gracefully. It was the disruption that it caused that is my chief complaint.
