Well, what would I change about hootoo? Not sure. I guess I'd disable the info page, or atleast the part showing the last recent conversations. Mind, I'm quite alone with that, so no use suggesting it. It's the lurkers' paradise.
It's holiday time, so there aren't that many people about. Plus it's the weekend right now.
I'm sure if you stick to the site, you'll meet plenty of people - all in due time, of course.

Won't it be easier to have the most recent additions to a theme first? I found it all quite confusing at first (2001) etc.

The problem would be that you would have to read the entries backwards, so perhaps that would cause even more problems.

But thanks for getting back to me ...

I'm not quite sure what you mean. The entries shown on the <./>info</.> page are the most recently created ones.
