Those old sites were security nightmares. I should know. I used to run one. I had to make sure to keep it up to date, and even customizing some parts, or risk getting hacked.
By the way, pro tip: Anybody who thinks their private conversations over a message board are encrypted.... they're not. Any Admin with database privileges can peruse it and read everything you write to another member. It's stored as plain text.

@SabreFan1 that's interesting, looking back it i can see how they would be easy to hack, just considering how basic the coding was back then. I wish sites could still keep the look at least, but I suppose security is more important than a preferred design.

Security doesn't equal design. They change designs because if they don't people will get bored and stop using the product.
For the free boards, that's no big deal because others would pop up to replace them, but for the paid boards like Invision who makes and hosts this board, people would lose their jobs if they sat back on their laurels and let the product go stale.
