A new look

Laika Come Home · 11-11-2008, 01:05 PM

Let's face it. This forum needs a facelift.

From the bland, cold shades of blue and teal, to the .JPG, non-transparent logo that doesn't even match the website, this forum looks like it's stuck in 1998.

There are numerous skins for vBulletin around the 'Net, and I'd be happy to help make a logo or something.

Actually it's stuck in 2006.

The original skin from 2001-ish looked much better than this.

The original original skin shoots lasers out of the screen and burns people's eyes.

Fat chance on getting it changed, though.

I like this skin.

t3hDarkness · 11-11-2008, 02:18 PM

Am I the only person with a skin default problem right now?

Laika Come Home · 11-11-2008, 03:23 PM

This skin isn't a total abomination, but it's time to move on from the past. The forum (and the site for that matter) need a total refresh to attract visitors.

As I said before, I'm willing to help.

Redshirt · 11-11-2008, 03:45 PM

I only use the NC skin, so no problem here.

**Valigarmander** · 11-11-2008, 03:50 PM

Hmm, I don't really care one way or the other. But if we do decide to change things, I'd be more than willing to help.

SephirothKirby · 11-11-2008, 04:27 PM

I like this one.

Seeking Attention · 11-11-2008, 04:48 PM

If you don't like the default skin, use a different one.

Laika Come Home · 11-11-2008, 05:30 PM

They're all pretty ugly.

The Mega Charizard · 11-11-2008, 05:34 PM

Deal with it Laika. Most of us are happy with at least one of the skins to choose from. Why can't you be?

Then pull your eyes out.

After doing that, you will enjoy the way the site looks.

Also, shut up before Shane decides to make the site pink and light green.

^Ditto,Tazy.

It's called taste.

I'm fine with this skin, but it'd be interesting to see what new skins emerge.

That's uncalled for. He's offering his opinion - don't be rude.

I have to say, though I'm used to this blue skin, the other defaults are a little hard on the eyes (I like the Zelda one, but I'm not quite used to it like I am this one). That being said, a skin update might not be so bad.

***Ynot Shane*** · 11-11-2008, 05:51 PM

Sounds like work.

SephirothKirby · 11-11-2008, 06:10 PM

Wait, Tazy gave me a great idea.

We need a pink one.

Make sure it is a fabulous pink, not a hot pink. I will be happy to help you pick it out.

what the hell is wrong with this skin

what the hell is wrong with 1998

***Ynot Shane*** · 11-11-2008, 06:24 PM

At one time we actually did have a pink theme. One of the Pokemon forums. Probably going back about 7 years or so.
