...discontinue Subeta V1? I personally can't stand using the "new & improved" version.

Yes, but we don't know when. Could be years from now, may not come to fruition at all from a lack of programmers.

I mean, Subeta has only 1 developer - the owner, like on Marapets.

The Subeta V1 coding is largely very old and pretty piecemeal. started the site at 16, so things aren't exactly efficient on the back end. The V2 site is part of an ongoing recode to help make the site more functional.

I also prefer the original look of the site over V2, but there's so much stuff on Subeta that I don't expect the site to be fully and completely V2 for a very long time
