What do you think if people of the SCP make the fs2 text with glow effect ?

/me seconds IceFire.

I suppose it'd be better to make new font graphics rather than code in a generic 'halo' effect. If you mean text like on this vB board, I think it looks ugly anyway. ^_^

I know.  A waste of time to code, implement, and use.

If anything, new font types would be a more useful improvement than simply adding a glow around some text.  It doesn't serve any particular purpose and its visual appeal is questionable.

:wtf: why?

and you don't need to use bold tags twice to get your colour/font. One bold is sufficient.
