> Here is a list of things I did

1. Remove Views  
Agreed

2. Remove Star  
Agreed. Remove the lock and the pin also?

3. Get rid of avatar images use names instead  
I disagree. Avatars are super fast to “read”.

4. De-emphasize categories  
Agreed.

5. Use more “traditional color” for topic link  
Agreed.

6. Use replies instead of posts  
Agreed.

Also you’ve removed the zebra stripes and I do agree.
