I would have had a dash cam video when I hit the German Shepherd; however, that morning my dash cam kept asking me to reformat the Micro SD card...

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
Deer collision - safer on a Spyder? Thoughts? Or first-hand accounts?

Here in Wisconsin, if you drive outside the city limits it’s not if you will, but when you will hit a deer. I’ve hit several with my car, and, knock on wood, none on two or three wheels. The last one I hit did relatively minor damage. The neighbor stated she hoped the deer was ok. To that I responded that I hoped it died a slow painful death in the ditch.
I think there's too many factors involved to say for sure. Logic would predict one advantage is three wheels, as well as the Spyder's greater mass, but hit a deer one day, and survive, doesn't predict that if you hit a deer another day you will also survive. The size of the deer, where you hit it, and what it's doing will all have an effect. Catch a large deer mid leap dead center, and it could come through the windshield and into your upper body. I actually watched someone on a bike get killed years ago working a race track, because that's exactly what happened. His bike went under the deer and kept going, but he was killed by hitting the deer with nearly full force on his torso and head. I bet the outcome would have been the same had he hit it the same way while riding a Spyder.
