I wouldn't go so far as to say that, but I must admit that most of your arguments are either based on a lack of knowledge concerning Proboards, are not worth the effort of migrating. Skins are nice, but icing on the cake. Why go out and get another cake when you've already got one that works fine? and this cake is just perfect

Also, concerning rep-system, there is a warning system that I could set up that allows me to basically say "Bad doggy!" and give people a warning on their warning bar. I admit, the IF skin does look nice. I also noticed that the site has its own domain name, meaning they have money to shell out. Now, at K(2)C, we used...I can't even remember, but premade skins didn't just appear. They weren't free. You don't understand, its like mixing around your hair when its gonna be butt ugly (male, presumably) every time, its just a variation of crap. Because this forum looks like it was made in 1993, thats a pretty good reason. Why? I'm an Empires player, I've been playing for four years, don't start with me about that. I already said I'd give control of that forum to Brandon if he ever decided to move, I'm just trying to encourage it. Ask anyone outside this forum, Proboards ain't the best, maybe its in my nature, but I like being the best I possibly can be. I'm trying to have one awesome forum migrating, rather than 2 seperate ones. I don't see whats so stalinistic about wanting decent skins, which most modern forums have, PHPB, Vbulettin, everyones got them- proboards just has like.. 3 colors. Atari 2600 had more colors. I still don't see whats wrong with having a good looking forum, nothing about IF is worse than Proboards, and therefore.. being a perfectionist, I see no error.

Jedihunter, thank you for offering but I'm really fine with this forum. I'm big into maxing out design but i just don't feel it's worth it here. I actually like the simple design and color scheme
And guys I know you have your differences but consider this an ending post to your argument so it doesn't continue and spam the thread.

Well thats an hour or two of work down the drain. I don't really understand why you did it without asking W/e though. To be honest I didn't really like the way it looked

Just remember that you did so on your own time.
And this board takes offense to being said that it looks like its from 1993...it was more like...2002...lol (and incase your wondering, this is a joke, I do not actually take offense because the board is rather old...it might actually be 2001...I can't remember)
And, as I said, it has plenty of colors. I mean, personally, I could make the forum look very similar to how EH looked if it makes you guys happy (though it wouldn't have that cool textury look cuz...well...unless Ninja figures that out). And if you mean color options, I could probably style it where every color in the rainbow was used several times, but I like the simple three color theme.

Because this forum has 3 colors, any reasonable forumer would be willing to take 30 seconds to register just for better colors.
Besides, there is an ENTIRE site worth of those skins, complicated, less complicated, light, dark and inbetween, all you have to do is copy and paste it.

As I said, I could really make the site very colorful, but the three color theme is much simpler, and I think it appeals more (too many colors clashes). If you want, I'll make a rainbow color scheme that you can set in your profile.

Great, a Gay pride forum.
Just what I've always wanted!
All I want are better colors, that go well together.
Grey and Red?...no.
Example:http://forums.filefront.com/
Other than some buttons and a gradient, its a really simple scheme, the colors go nicely, and quite frankly it looks good.
Something like that.

You and I have very different taste I think that forum looks awfull and it hurts my eyes. I like relaxed colors, suits reading much better

I decided that you're absolutely, utterly and completely wrong. Blue + White = ownage. Greys make me squint.

Like I said, I did whip up a couple other skins. I'm looking at this rainbow skin right now (it burns my eyes...I need to fix the text to be darker). I've got two other skins that I like better (Black, Red, and Green/White and Black, Green, White) that you can use as well. Merely click Profile, Modify Profile, then scroll until you find the Skin and change it.

The Gray surrounded by Black is getting to me. HAHAHA I just tried the Rainbow one, I think somebody just had a nosebleed!

Jedi, we obviously disagree, we don't need to be brutal and unconsiderate like you are being. Take a breather before posting. Field Marshals have fealings too And as brandon said, just go to the modify option in your profile if you don't like the current colors
