This is new,

Why is the homepage asking for a login, it's never done it before? And what's MacNN RESTRICTED anyway, the www8.macnn.com url just goes to an almost blank page?

Same here, I just ignored the password and got back to the home page
I do not like those green links and spam.

We could tell you, but then we'd have to...um, show you the new theme.

The hampstor is playing games again.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

The new theme will be released in what 2 or so years. I think I remember hearing stuff about the new theme about 2 years ago. Now the new theme that they have is old and it needs to be revamped.

Didn’t you read Lateralus’ post a while back? We’re days away from the launching of the new forum theme!

Now the new theme that they have is old and it needs to be revamped.
It’s not old, it was launched last year. And it was changed so much from the designer’s original theme that it sort of needed to be revamped already when it was launched.
