I'd go with moon's answer ;)
At a guess I would say the new system was built from scratch independently of the old and the old one is eventually meant to be phased out. But that can only happen when the rest of the site gets overhauled (ie. The forum gets redone) and the old system isn't being used...
Why they didn't just use the same ids for both systems is anyones guess (although they are considerably different with the galaxy ones being much longer, so that may have something to do with it)

The forum getting redone? That'll be a horror experience. ;-)

Unread messages was more for use with the default GoG sort, so you can find any messages that might be hiding under a bunch of online people, or if you've got an old message buried that you hadn't realised you were yet to read...
Not entirely sure how useful the filters are, but I was able to add them so I did... XD
I wanted to do one for friends but the conversation list doesn't actually hold that information so I couldn't.
Ah, you're right. I just assumed that people would go with "Last Active", as that makes more sense for a private communication system.
Haha, that's as good a reason as any to implement the filters. Not sure there'd actually be a point for a friends one, the whole thing doesn't have any meaningful reason to exist in the first place.
Gydion: It's done. Well, it was. I will probably revisit the star field which I threw in after I exported it the first time and desaturate it a bit.
Edit: Alright, guess it's done.
Looks good, just two things regarding the "COLLECTOR'S CD-ROM" banner:
1. The font is smaller, making it hard to read - was that intentional?
2. Have you tried putting it at the bottom, like you did with the other one? I think it'll stick out more, and make it easier to notice/read.
