Well there are some reasons that the reorganization came about. The main page definitely looks a lot cleaner now, without that mass of child boards listed on the main page. It also, hopefully, doesn't deter newcomers to the PbP area, since they won't have to scroll down over a page of child forums to get to the recruiting threads.
Those are just the top two off the top of my head, I'm sure there are more. How would those of you who do not currently like the set-up suggest addressing this issue?
As for possible solutions to your problems, I don't think (barring an old 56K modem) that it takes longer to make one extra click. However, if you feel that way, you can always bookmark your games. Or you can select the link at the top of the forum labeled "Show new replies to your posts" to see if someone has posted in your game. And of course, you can subscribe to the actual game so you are notified when something happens.
But I do hear the voices that don't like the set-up, so I'm definitely interested in hearing alternative approaches.
