They've also said (at least elsewhere) that the old style while selectable won't necessarily have support for (all?) new features.
Aside from people saying "it looks like X site" there have also been people giving specific feedback, in this thread, such as "I like Y aspect but not Z aspect" or "could you do A in B way instead" or similar. That's hardly redundant or useless in any design process.

The specific feedback would be more useful if we weren't looking at a mock-up that's over a year old. For all we know, it looks almost nothing like the pic in the OP.

Oh that's interesting. I hate how DA changed their look. I like the FA look we're having now cuz' its simple and easy to go around. DA slows everything down. But what's weird is that has this site actually had that "new DA 7" look and changed it? How come it doesn't look like that now?

If the old style is truly selectable when the new one is put into place, then prolly can ignore this, but I really do hope that new design takes into consideration greater than 1440x900 screens :v
I don't doubt the design team, because the current look stretches as wide and tall as you can get (worked great on a 42" screen), but this new one looks REAAALLY skinny

Well I only hope that it doesn't end up with huge buttons "because it's easier to use on mobile devices" and slim style "because it's easier to use on mobile devices"... yea you can see where this is going to 
.
For that it would be good if you could switch between having width limitation and no width limitation (adjusts to browser window size).
Anyway I'm OK with it if switching between the old and new layout actually works and is not a "coming SOON" feature like the search function.

I will take any user interface that looks even slightly better than the one we have now. That picture is a major improvement.

I believe you're right there. I mean, at the moment I can't rant about the design too much simply because I'm used to using it. However, when I first started using FA, I found it hard to navigate and the layout kinda messy. Because I'm so used to it now though, it doesn't bother me. Still, a change would be nice =3

I really hate the whole design as a whole. DA, Steam, iTunes, DigYourOwnGrave now... it's not "hip" or "trendy" or "modern". Just terrible. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.
At the very least... please tell me it won't be flash-based like DA is..? I wouldn't hardly be able to browse if it was..

The idea behind dA's new interface was so that it could work with the iPad (and also look flashy and über so that they can inflate their already oversized tumor of a penis even further with even more money...). If they used Flash then they'd be screwed since Apple and Flash don't mix very well. Hopefully FA doesn't go down that route either, but I can't wait to see what's in store for the new site upgrade
Also, will there be any opportunity for people to beta-test the new site so that all the kinks can be worked out before it goes live?

Politically incorrect.
Because the internet's sole purpose is to promote conformity and acceptance of change.

CALM DOWN EVERYONE the site was attacked by malicious software and this was caused by the emergency procedure that the staff had to do to get rid of it. Its suppose to change back though.

I think it does have a basic resemblance to DA, in the way the page is set up, where certain things are located, and those damn speech bubbles. This is old and I'm assuming the look has changed some since then. Just as long as FA doesn't try to download malware, viruses, and fake antivirus software like AIDS-riddled DA has recently and everything will be fine.
