Rather sad the status message banner was removed, it gave the member card on the side some personality that the extra information(ratings/trophies/etc that were luckily removed) didn't provide and were rather useless.
They didn't take up that much room, and though they are basically useless, they were a nice thing to come across now and then, especially if it was a status you were interested in or enjoyed reading (I know for certain I won't be clicking on people's member profiles or the new status messages tab often, but that's just me).
Everything else being removed makes it much cleaner however, and is a nice touch up.
Although question: why is it that I am able to view the full member card including the steam integrated tab when I'm not logged in, but the minute I log in the member cards(that actually have it) loose the steam tab below the avatars/messages counter, because at the moment it seems rather bland.
