Given that FTR isn't the most confusing website in the world (generally good design) it is really overkill having these annoying menus. Get rid of them IMO and never look back.
OR, if you insist on keeping them, at least make them look nice. Weird blue text is weird, and the links kind of blend into eachother.
Easier to just do away with them...
I think the blue text is fine but a little subtle horizontal line between each option would do wonders. Or maybe tighten up the line height for the text in there a little bit.
And drop downs are hardly a fad. They are super good for usability. One of the most key things for user experiences on your site is to eliminate the number of clicks it takes for them to go from one place to another.
