DoramEdit: (presumptuous, right?)
This conversation's getting serious, apparently. Starting here.

There are several suggestions, which have now been put in that poll up there. If you want to speak your mind, now's the time.

Original post by Runouw: show
I'm currently working on an update to the graphics on the forums. I have made a plan for how the front page will look:

What do you think? Is the style going in the right direction?

Karyete: Seriously, what is your problem? And not only that, you fail to even acknowledge you might be in some wrong here.
Karyete: Oooh it's you? Hello. Feel free to drop this right now. You're going to make yourself look like an idiot.
Karyete: We don't want to hear your opinion at this stage.
Karyete: You're not getting any apology, especially after now.
Karyete: You can stay up on your high horse, continue to twist the truth and act like an absolute child all you want. I refuse to give respect to a man who right now is picking up a dropped argument because he simply cannot fathom the idea that he might be in the wrong.

Looks damn epic and fits a lot better the style of the other pages. Can't wait to see more.

Yeah, personally bright webpages irritate me. Facebook, Google, YouTube, they all burn retinas in the dark. But if everyone prefers something lighter, it's easy enough to find Chrome extension and tweak it myself. In terms of style, though, I like. Just not a big fan of all those pale colors.

Well it's not completely white either. And black is so overrated.

Lol, that's cool. I already found an extension that can edit color schemes, so I'm pretty neutral to the final shades. I'm thinking something black/dark grey and green.

I actually wanted to suggest this but never got around to it. It bothered me that the forums didn't match the front page. I like it.

My only complaint is with the color of the forum names (News, Rules, etc.). The color is too similar to the blue of the background, making it look hollow. Perhaps it would look better if it were changed to match the blue of the "Off-Topic" header? Besides that, everything else looks good.

I would personally preffer a darker style, light colours are pretty painfull for the eyes.
