Title: Do I keep my greenish style?
Post by: TopAce on August 19, 2003, 11:08:45 am: I cannot decide if I keep my greenish style or not. So I find it better to ask those who read my posts. So make your choice!

Post by: Taristin on August 19, 2003, 01:34:51 pm: I wouldn't mind so much if you didn't change the colors on different boards. Like using a slightly darker orange on an orange background... (I think it was in the Inferno board). Tht was kinda annoying. Otherwise I don't care...

Post by: CP5670 on August 19, 2003, 02:15:42 pm: It's okay with me if you use something brighter. That dark green is difficult to read on a black background.

Title: Do I keep my greenish style?
Post by: an0n on August 19, 2003, 03:22:25 pm: Hmmm. I could maybe code something into the forums so when someone whos userid was on some database table logged in, they got a huge "*****SLAP" gif flash at them for 2 seconds.

That might be useful.

Hmm. I could define different flash groups so you could have different gifs depending on what lists they were on.

That'd be hella-cool.

But alas, things to do.....

Post by: TopAce on August 19, 2003, 05:25:11 pm: Thanks for the votes, men, now I am convienced.
But I disagree with that colored texts make me girlish. Perhaps purple or pink may make me that, but green nohow. :blah:

Post by: Stealth on August 19, 2003, 05:50:21 pm: well obviously you don't put it in bright pink text or anything, but just in general the color you want your text, i wouldn't worry what people think ;)

Post by: TopAce on August 19, 2003, 05:53:47 pm: You are right in the way you will never meet any of them, but their posts can have brutal sounding. Like any of Diamondgeezer's posts.
Title: Do I keep my greenish style?
Post by: Stealth on August 19, 2003, 05:56:24 pm: No, Diamondgeezer's post was "brutal sounding" because he thought it was inappropriate for you to post a useless thread like this. he wasn't mad because you use a green font color :)

go with what you want. go with a [glow=blue]blue glow[/glow] if you so wish.

And what if others open a thread to notify the forum that they go on holiday, or will be off for a week?

Post by: Solatar on August 19, 2003, 07:55:31 pm: Why would anybody want to bother putting the [color] tags on all of their posts anyhow? Maeglamor is "special", so he can do what he wants.:D :p

Besides, Maeg's an admin...
Title: Do I keep my greenish style?
Post by: Stealth on August 19, 2003, 07:59:19 pm: yeah, there's a few people that have used it now that i think of it. Maeglamor, Free Terran, Black Wolf, Borealis, and probably more that i can't think of offhand :)

Maeg being an Admin, can't he just make a custom header and footer?

'Brutal' is a bit harsh. Actually, I take back my first post - since you lot've spent nearly two pages discussing the subject of TopAce's coloured posts I can only assume that he's more important to the board then I'd given him credit for :) Admitedly that particular shade of green was rather nasty, but I can't hold bad taste against a guy.

Actually, I prefer to use the [color] tags, but that's just me.

Offer sounds correct, but it will be up to you to keep this offer, I won't hurt(not physically, I will have a look at it at the dictionary, because I don't know the correct word for it) you if you leave me.

Post by: Martinus on August 21, 2003, 11:04:24 am: [color=66ff00]What's the problem? Use colour if you want to, if you don't then it's just as good. Meh, why get all excited over something like this? I don't do it because I'm an admin (technically I'm not, I just help out as best as I can) I do it because it pleases me.

Anyhow, green is a great colour. :nod:
