Maximum PC just released its new look site and in my opinion it's even worse than what Softpedia did. http://www.maximumpc.com/uk/
The most egregious aspect to me is the integration of the Disqus commenting system. As for the new look, it seems like just another spammy cookie-cutter design with stock photos, very impersonal and nothing impressive. Although the old design wasn't too pretty either.
I must admit, I forgot about how the old one looked, but it 's not even close to being as bad as Softpedia. At least the site is still readable and they kept it simple.
