As you say, they don't understand how things are already done and have barged onward with no respect or consideration for that.
However, I believe some of their design and concept are also misguided and insufficient from within the parameters of their own milieu.
I really hate the term "Web 2.0," but that's clearly a concept they're trying to emulate. A part of it is social networking. They have the badge thing, which I haven't even observed yet how it is supposed to work. They have comments to fics, and favorites. No way for an author to reply to comments. Except by PM which is off by default anyway.
He basically expects everyone to forget about whatever they spent the last years doing, and use his system because he's announced that it's cool.
