Superior to you

Today the second version of the forums are opened, and with it several things have changed.

  • Visuals
    The most prominent of the changes is the new forum skin. I personally prefer it to the old one, but critique is encouraged. Furthermore, new member icons have been made, and the ones that have yet to be needed (idiot, exile, etc.) are on the way.
  • New Forum Layout
    I've reorganized, combined, and split the forums you see on the main page. This should streamline the popular forums and tone down the lesser used ones.
  • Staff? Who needs it?
    In all seriousness, these forums don't need more than the root admin. I (Xale) am now simply an Elite as, are Fen and Phrix. Sorry if this lets anyone down, but I feel unnecessary posts should be discarded for the time being. Anyone who wants a particular topic pinned or closed, simply PM this account (X) or my usual account (Xale) and I'll get the job for you.

Just to let you know, I've already created all of the organization member accounts. To log in, the password is the same as your username. Just remember to change it afterwards.

Also, organization members from v1.0 (at least, the ones that posted) have been promoted to Elite if they weren't already. To pick an Elite icon, or change yours, just PM me or X with your choice.

In addition, the OAE password has changed, PM me for the new one.

Finally, I have been considering adding the post counts from the v1.0 to members' profiles, but I have some reservations. Not only do people put too much importannce on post count, perhaps some people would want the chance to surpass the higher post counts without the seemingly insurmountable gap.

Please express all comments, both negative and positive.

That's nice to hear, a positive comment that is.

In case anyone didn't notice, the awards (now known as icons, so pointless things like Emo, and Kitty make more sense) have been remade as well.

I like the new layout. And the background image for the textarea.textinput part~!

And post counts are lame. Nix them! D<

H'omg icon thing = a rainbow? :D (predictable)

Oh, and the warn button thing is HUGE. And the up arrow.

Yay for expected reactions. I was counting on Tamara for noticing the subtle amount of effort I put in to add backgrounds in the textareas (having trouble with the fast reply right now for some reason, fo'shizzle).

I also was counting on Fen being unhappy about being de-modded.

I am considering making her mod of the OAE though, maybe...

Of course I noticed. Although it's not tons of work - I cheat and use Colorzilla, which defines elements for me so I don't have to. It's verra niiiice. :D

I also noticed that the hover links are yellow. Why yellow? I've been meaning to ask for a while.

No, it's not tons of work, but it is something most don't seem to do.

And why not yellow?

True that, homebro. I usually don't spiffy up the textarea - sometimes I get adventurous and change the quote/ code or blockquote tags, but that's about it.

As for yellow, I was always just curious XD There's no yellow in the colour scheme, but there are on the a:hover for the body links. Zomgz.

Come with me if you want to see anything worth while, my child
I'll show you anything and everything
Go to heaven for the weather
But to hell to sell your soul
I'll show you where mine went so long ago
