Hey the new forum looks like shit

Yeah, I know -- they split the main section into two JPGs and a transparent GIF. Unfortunately I started doing this too late to really fix it "for real." And, cocky, I didn't bother to save my changed images as PSD files, but rather JPGs.

One of the fonts I picked had all the letters rendered except for a "Y." Who the shit just gives up 24 letters in? Christ man, the humanity.

... Again, sorry, it looks like CRAP up there with a capital K. I'll fix this tomorrow.

I liked the blue. Could you make something in this color scheme blue? And make the bakground darker?

It hurts my eyes. the contrast is freaking out my eyeballs. Did you know if you move the monitor back and forth very quickly it appears that Jolt Country is moving outside the bounds of the screen?

Fixed-width web sites all suck ass. Skip the fixed-width theme.

I like the colors, in fact I used to have my windows color scheme set up like this about twelve years ago.

This is horrible. Fix it, or I am out of here.

Forever.

This is great, coming from you. There's nothing I like better than a white BBS with giant avatars. Seriously, how big is Nessman's on your site? 800x600? I wouldn't want it any other way than people hating it, but come on.

It's staying red and black. The main page will probably be yellow and aqua, but don't quote me. If you hate red and black, well, that sucks and everyone will miss you terribly.

I don't like the way quotes are depicted as not having a lighter/darker background color.

I don't like the screencapped Banzai Bug character being in the middle of the title graphic with an obviously patched-on background. That will change.

I didn't even notice the fixed-font thing. Don't care about that, nor do I see why it is lame.

I am going to change the check boxes to smiling Mr. Bandwidths. And the "no new posts" thing to sad Mr. Bandwidths.

What else would you change, Ben? Keeping in mind that you will get 10 BBS POINTS for every change you want that directly conflicts with something that another poster likes.

I'd just like to mention that this template messes with my screen reader. according to it, the forum is in a table with 0 collumns and 0 rows. I mean, I dont' give a shit, but it's funny.

I liked random custom titles month. I think we should do that every week.

You fucking idiot. This (really) was the one bright spot. Checkboxes, which are clear and easily understood, rather that stupid idiotic alien-looking things.

Jesus Christ.

At least keep the checkboxes.

Not fixed-font, you cum-stewing maggot. Fixed WIDTH. The display is the same width no matter how wide your browser window is. Make your browser wider or narrower and you'll see what I mean.

Dumbass.

A quick peek at the page source indicates that you're stuck with an 800-pixel-wide table. Which looks like shit for those of us running at 1280x1024 or even 1400x1050 as I am at the moment. Hell, it doesn't even look good on 1024x768, and requires left-right scrolling on an 800x600 display.

NOW do you understand?

"Yellow and aqua" he writes. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You must be hoping that Santa's going to bring you a hot, steaming pile of MAN-ASS on Christmas morning, you bagelhumper. "Aqua", indeed.

When you get married, will you dress up as Captain Kirk and your boyfriend as Scotty, or vice versa?

Jeff, why do you hate America?

Seriously, how does anyone come up with this scheme and that logo and sit back in their swivelling desk chair and go, "Mmm! Yeah, that's the one! Let's get this out to the fans!"

How does that happen?

Ice Cream Jonsey · Post by **Ice Cream Jonsey** » Wed Nov 16, 2005 10:09 pm

The logo is from Banzai Bug and is obviously a placeholder.

Sorry for being a downer, but I rather like it. The only change I would make is a slightly less bright shade of red.
