The design of CodeProject has changed over the years, as one would hope and expect. The design, however, was often a result of expedience over planning and as such it often became, well, a little haphazard and often more thought was put into cramming as much as possible on a page instead of thinking about what should actually be on a page.
A common complaint of the site - in fact, the complaint regarding the site, was that the look was old, tired, and cramped. You hit the site and you're bombarded and confused. We loved the old look, though, in the same way a dog loves it's old, scuffed up shoe that it drags around everyone. It was comfy. We knew how it worked. It had everything we needed.

Which developer website you like to visit? The new metro style CodeProject site is cool, easy to read and improved in the brand. The old style is a little mass, not easy to get the information. FreeOZ also needs an upgrade.作者: mason00 时间: 20-9-2012 10:30
I should say I like Metro style, easy to read. Many years ago, I already feel tired to read news on portal website like Sina, Sohu. Look at this, totally a mass. I feel like reading a block of advertisement. That's a big reason why I love FreeOZ's advertisement free style.

CodePlex's redesigning also mentioned in that article. Take a look, clean but mono in color. Anyway, it's better than Sina.
