Bungie is adding too many things, and half of them don't work well.
Sorting is done horribly. Hell, I honestly wish it just stay "Latest" and "All Time", but my preferences are never saved. Being able to sort by popular threads is just dumb, it ruins discussion as people will just flock to those threads instead of current threads.
Tags are next to useless. Sure, some are useful like #feedback, but people just put random tags, and it clutters the screen more. The new poll system looks absolutely horrible. Pages don't work properly half the time. Sorting by "oldest" in a thread is what people have asked for, but since threads don't have pages, it's pointless.
Visually, the front page of the forum itself does not look good. There is too much information on each little thread "bar". Gifs shouldn't animate on the front page of the forum, as it is distracting. We shouldn't see all the tags either, as it just adds more to the screen. The new "poll" or "question" icons beside threads continues to detract from the experience. When I'm looking for a thread to look at, I don't want it to be a cluttered mess.
To top it all off, the website is incredibly slow. Maybe not the actual website, but threads/forum posts seem to take longer to load then the website. So there is a delay from when I change my sorting options, or switch "tags", and it ends up being an irritating experience.

I should point out that if you want the forum to be faster, stop selecting "All Time" as your date filter. That is considerably slower than all of the other options.
