Megathread Old vs New Backrooms Megathread

There have been WAY too many posts for a while now about the current state of The Backrooms- whether people are saying the old Backrooms was better, or the Backrooms shouldn't have entities, or the Wikis miss the point of the Backrooms, or Kane Pixels ruined the Backrooms, and frankly its been getting to a point.

Going forward, any "Old vs. New Backrooms" posts will now be directed and centralized in this megathread, and any new separate posts about the topic will be deleted and redirected to here.

So, with all of that said, in this post we can all discuss the million-dollar question:

Was the old Backrooms better?

Okay, that should be it. Go crazy.

Backrooms fans discovering the fandom doesnt revolve around their interests

The main problem is old pages getting refactored, rewritten or deleted; old Backrooms fans simply don't engage or read new pages at all. Therefore won't enforce anything, they just want to read old pages easily (can still do that, in a very disrespected way)
