Inspired by the discussion Exactly which features of SFF.SE's magnificent theme will we be losing? I want to ask which features WorldBuilding.SE will lose specifically. The reason I ask basically the same question here again is that I remember that WorldBuilding was often mentioned as one of the "Cadillac" sites with an extensive design that will lose quite a bit more than many other sites. And there is already quite a lot that all the sites will lose. To cite the SFF post I linked:

We will probably be losing our voting buttons, fave button, possibly our use of Orbitron font, and reduced color/header image support.

More details can be seen in the Meta.SE discussion Left nav, responsive design, and theming next steps, but I have the same questions as @CreationEdge on SFF.SE:

Can we get a breakdown of what exactly we'll be losing? Or a time-frame on when we'll be able to see a development version of what we'll be losing?

Especially a little comment in the answer from @JourneymanGeek prompted me to wonder about the changes that will be relevant for this site:

and cough I know you guys will keep the worldbuilding robot, right?

What will happen to Slartibotfast and Pandora (also known as May Suthers)?

    $\begingroup$ FYI, I did some kremlinology over on SFF.SE which might be of interest to Worldbuilding.SE as well. $\endgroup$

Well, looks like they removed the robot and the lady.

There's a answer on MSE that mentions and asks for their return and I strongly recommend y'all to make your voices heard on the subject by voting appropriately
