I'm hardly revered but my account is super old. I think I joined up right before Halo 3? I definitely stopped posting when b.next came through. The main complaint was that the UI / UX sucked. Forums were now "tags" and it took more clicks to get everywhere. Several off-sites were created during that time it was so bad (in a lot of folks' eyes). Eventually (way way down the line) the web devs got things together and it's not so bad nowdays, but during the very beginning of b.next the forum was complete garbage and so much more of a pain to use (at least in my opinion).
