    Maybe it's because CO is the ****? :D

    It's mostly an ugly red on my screen, but it is the same ugly, eye sore as the homepage. (As I previously mentioned in another thread)

    Maybe because black is beautiful?



    The forum looks redish-brown on my screen ... but still ugly as hell.
    And why Grond? Why not ... okay, Derpfender wouldn't have been a better choice ... but what about ... hm ... no ... uhm ... Black Mask? :D

    I'll reserve judgement for when I get home, where my powerful gaming rig was brought to its knees while trying to scroll these pages with the old generic Arc logo background. (Seriously, my ancient, slower-than-dirt 3rd gen iPad has less trouble scrolling than Chrome on my desktop. If there's a way to screw up a web page, PWE's web developers can find it.)

    If that works for you, Open something from the forum in a new tab!

    The Background and the whole page is now WHite and Grey and hardly readable

    also, Gravitar and Medusa skins WHEN?​​

    It would look better if the background had a fixed position. The Grond picture and stuff at the top of the page looks good, but scrolling down a bit it's not so great.

    I like it. This is the first change they've made to the forums which doesn't completely break something or take away some functionality and just make the forum worse to use. That's a win in my book.

    The background of your avatar/signature would be much better. Especially with that comic dot texture.

    I agree, a nice red that's not 100% saturated, maybe a teensy bit on the side of orange would be better, but you know that no matter what happens, people will complain about any change.

    Right; *some* people will complain about anything. So realistically, the goal should not be to please *everyone*, only the *majority*.

    Nepht meant 'cut to the chase', a term from film making, meaning get to the point or climax of the film so as to not bore audiences.

    Maybe she meant 'shoot from the hip', which means to be spontaneous

    Maybe she meant 'flap my gums' which means to talk incessantly

    Maybe "Cut to the jib" encompasses all those things and more.

    The forum backgrounds of NW and STO look SOOO much better than CO's. Why couldnt someone use a player-inspired artwork for CO? Even just having the Cryptic Logo for the background would look much better than a constipated Grond.

    I thought blue was the most associated color for Champions. Btw, red (especially one that bleeds into brown) is a detractor and isn't a good marketing color.​​
