This is as we have strategized, which is that these recent changes will improve the overall "Site Quality", Relevance and Organization, over time.
The real benefits to users, will be more visible once we have implemented the planned significant improvements to our "Relevance Algorithms", which will provide more relevant:
While we understand that many users will not be happy with many of our decisions made in improving/adjusting the way how this site works and operates,
we (SW Staff) DO definitely always consider user feedback, very strongly, in every decision we make.

Please note that a "Majority Vote" on a public poll (for example) will not always be indicative of the path we have decided to take on a decision, (especially for years old feedback polls, where many factors would have since changed).
There will always be a lot of crucial data that is only available to SW Staff (just as with any other website/service), that also factors heavily in the final decisions we make.
[sep]
We continue to look forward to incoming growth for SW, in the coming months. 👍
Many of our recent and in-development changes to this site, are being done, in part, to allow and facilitate such user growth, as well as to provide a higher quality experience to all of our users, in the long-term.
Thanks for your continued feedback, support and patience! 🙂
Kind regards, -SW Staff

@nedkelly we listen to users, and fulfill many of their requests, each and every weeks.
[b]• We have reinstated lots of groups, as specifically requested by users, this week.
• The option to Move/Edit posts between Groups, has been very recently added.
• Improved Search feature has been recently fulfilled.
• The option to "1-Click Skip" Categorization, has been recently added.[/b]
and the list goes on and on...
All of these, were requests, asked of by SW users, which we did fulfill.
We cannot fulfill each and every request at the same time, and some requests and features take a lot more time and work to develop.
Then there are also many features which may benefit some users, and not others, or may serve to benefit the community in whole, in the long run, yet many specific members may be upset by those changes.
Again, we cannot do everything each users want, at the specific time they want. And we cannot please every user and request, especially while also when having to cater for other, incoming and new users, who may not be familiar with the old EP culture, yet still need to be accommodated.
