You don't have to use any of the new customization features in order to use the new layout. In fact, Dave spent a long time developing that tool for the 5% of users that will actually be using it.
The site works just like as always if you don't choose to customize. The only difference is you will be "stuck" with the order that we decide for the casual user instead of what may be your personal preference of what you want to see.
95% of visitors to NGA do not use the forums at all- they are here for content, and our new layout reflects this change. The customization homepage was developed for those of our users who are "power users"- here multiple times through the day/week. Those are going to want to see the conversations and newest happenings--each of these members like different things best about the site and now each person can make NGA look the way they like it.
