So, well this place looks interesting. I think I preferred the darker more Druid Glade style of the old look. Now when I am surfing at work it is far more obvious what I am looking at, especially with the game names now clearly labeled at the top. I myself am not always on board with change and I am sure everyone will react differently. I bet there were some good upgrades though although I doubt I will ever see them.
A total Side comment Post, but curious as to other P.O.V's

I too was caught off guard, and have been wondering what people thought.
My $.02:
Generally speaking it's a cleaner, more attractive, and more sophisticated design and interface. It's certainly brighter...I feel like I need sunglasses compared to the old look. In main forum view, thread names need to be darker. The brown on beige, especially the light brown of 'read threads' is pretty hard to read.
Navigation to other areas of content is much better/cleaner as dropdowns at the top of the page, but I don't like how the site fills to full screen width...on my widescreen monitors it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too wide. It should be in a centered block with a set width of 1000 pixels to prevent unecessary over-widening.
For work browsing I'd say it is actually less obvious what you're looking at because it's a lighter more corporate/appropriate look, logo notwithstanding. Most of the time you're scrolled down the page a bit anyway. The black and brown from before looks to me less like the sites you probably SHOULD be looking at. Then again, I work from home now so don't worry about that anymore. : )

I was a little confused when I came to the site. I think the new colors are a bit to similiar but I'm more than sure I'll get used to it. The only thing I don't like though is the links on posts are incredibly hard to see.
But otherwise it's fine for me.
