Meez used to be a website that was overrun with users, had easy navigational features, and was a friendlier place to be, but after ten years and a new layout, that all changed.
Meez's downfall started to happen after the launch of "beta Meez," which was a downgrade that was over-hyped by the developers to make it seem to be an improved version of the old website. They gave us an option the switch back to the classic version of Meez and many made the switch, along with MANY complaints about how bad beta Meez was. Some users did like the beta version, but most preferred the classic version and here's some comparisons:

Classic:
1. Meez Maker had a variety of categories to choose from, which ranged from punk to military, and the category list was easier to navigate through.
2. Meez Maker had a variety of animations/backgrounds to choose from, which were bought via coins that were earned via games or from extra cash lying around the house.
3. Many items in the Meez Maker worked correctly, but if they didn't, it was fixed immediately.
4. Forum's sub-forums were kept separate in an orderly way so no one stepped on any toes.
5. Reports/bans were watched more often and more carefully to avoid any conflict.
6. Hacking attempts were less frequent, but when they did hit, it was acted on by developers right away.
7. Users were more friendly because the developers weren't lenient with putting a stop to harmful things, making Meez truly 13+.
8. Virtual rooms were bigger and clearer.

Beta/New:
1. Meez Maker's category feature is buggy so you lose your place while searching within them.
2. Meez Maker's items don't work as they should so a pop-up tells you the item is unavailable and many have been reported to the developers via email, but those same ones are still broken to this day.
3. Meez Maker no longer has animations/backgrounds due to the new layout, which no compensation for lost money/coins has been offered despite a long, empty promise of bringing those items back.
4. Forums were completely redone and sub-forums were merged, confusing many people and causing a conflict of many topics.
5. Reports/bans are no longer being monitored as much, if not at all, which has let many folks make threats within the forums/Meez Nation with nothing done about it.
6. Hacking attempts are now treated with the "let it pass" routine, which leaves Meezers' credit card numbers in their database vulnerable.
7. A rise in harmful users has been seen within the website since the lack of authority, which those users show some psychopathic tendencies and they like to target younger, more gullible children. This has made Meez more of an 18+ website.
8. Virtual rooms seem small and grainy due to change in technology used, which has brought about a lag code that people constantly send to lag users out of rooms and also crash their computers.
The developers seem to be milking new/gullible users dry of money via VIP status promises before they close up shop on this whole website. Meez.com has been declining slowly for a few years now, with this year being the worst it has ever been. Meez is currently down (November 3rd, 2017) and who knows if they're actually doing something about their website, or just being hacked anymore?
