All forums look similar to the first one...even before RWG 1. I cant remember the name right now but it was about 6 years ago.
Welsome aboard r11co. Nice to have you here.
I am sure that you will find that this forum is not like the others!

Welcome r11co. I agree with Niko. It's not the same here we have a few unique dealers that you cannot find anywhere else. Also, no other forum is running vbulletin :)Quote:

But I do know one thing for certain that all the free software is garbage :)
Just yankin' your chain. :DQuote:

Also, you're using smileys designed for a light background, not a dark one and this shows in the anti-aliasing on them.
Kill two birds with one stone and go for a clean, bright background.
Oh, this is all just my humble opinion, all-be-it one backed up with 12 years of web design and 19 years of graphic design. :p
PugWash, You are a man after my own heart :) I spend all my free time after working on the forum here and my job looking for the best themes. The problem is that my tastes are similar to yours. I like light themes and bright colors. But everytime I find that perfect theme I get shot down by other staff :undecided: It is very hard to please everyone since they all have different tastes. So I compromise with them. I like blues and whites like the default them but no one else does. Oh well maybe one day I will find the right theme that everyone can agree on :)

Trust me, if one person is calling for neutral design and everyone else is looking for big and bright flavours of the month, give Mr. Neutral the job deciding the design. At least while everyone is proposing their awesome-o bright designs, the replica-collecting public gets to put their shades away for a while.
