not feeling the new dsi, dark and different colours needed.

But realy what was wrong with the old one? Now it looks boring and doesn`t look like a website about clubbing at all!!

Makes face book look good!!

I say change it back!!!

Sorry dsi :(

they changed something that was broken. dwindling traffic, unable to reach a core audience and the fact that the old site looked so incredibly out of date not to mention tied to a single genre (hardcore). it was incredibly broken. not only have the opened themselves up to new markets but they can also now attract back the work crowd that didn't want to load a huge yellow screen while even if it's not to some peoples taste, show that they acknowledge current trends and thus stay modern.

Yeah!! Stylish and sexy new DSI!!
Its much easier on the eye, and photos stand out more!

A few chavs might hate it and leave DSI in search for something luminous green..... oh well not bothered

Yah looks good, I like it!

Loving the simpler layout and more futuristic colour scheme.

Only thing it really needs is some shadows on the left and right side of the website to show the edges.

its loads faster , a lot of the crap from the old site has been done away with .

the yellow site used to be really slow and used to do my head in sometimes ,

another reason for the minimal look is that a lot of people use mobiles to log on.

the yellow site used to take forever and this site will help people who may not have access to a pc use the site .

The yellow gave it a kind of "local mates made a website" feel,

This is what it is though, or at least was, and surely this was partly the appeal for some people?

As much as i hate them, the hardcore massive and similar hard dance fans make up a fairly large part of this website do they not?

One look at the home page and they will go running to Facebook.

I know on the face of things this is a good thing, but surely the whole point of this revamp is too attract more people and not make it seem like it is a website for elitist minimal house fans.

the way i see it is tha a lot of people were ditching DSI in favour of facebook, so DSI has now gone for a more facebook like approach...?

I've always stuck with DSI and have only gone on Facebook when i've had an email saying someone had tagged me or wrote on my wall. I've never been that bothered really and have always thought that despite its imperfections, DSI was far better.

It makes me want to cry, but i think i'll be bothering with Facebook more now :-(

I was thinking that. It's basically got a Facebook theme. Instead of the FB blue and white, it's grey and white without the borders.

minimal

minimal is good......why ?

because there are more and more people with mobile phones that use the internet.

network speeds in this country slow and the yellow site with all the crap on it was a bitch to load.

this site is going to load a lot faster and all the people who have not got access to a pc can use the site on the bus , break at work,in the pub and check there msg's just like facebook and twitter.

why do you think those sites are so popular.......because they are minimal.

I was making more of a comparison between what DSI used to look like and what it looks like now.

I actually think the old website appealed to a wider range of dance fans.

Yes the site had problems, and a revamp was much needed, and i do agree the site looks a lot sleeker and up to date. But ion first impressions i can't help but feel this change will exclude more people...

Isn't there a Facebook DSI application and a DSI application for your phone or something?

minimal is good......why ?

I meant minimal as in minimal house fans, not minimal, plain simple etc.

only retards who cant read.

facebook is nothing like this site , only that they both have white backgrounds.

there must be millions of sites with white backgrounds but they have all not gone under because of facebook

facebook cannot offer what DSI has to offer and that is everyone who is a member on here is into dance music and going out.

facebook would never get a group like this
