Modify the color scheme?

Hey mods,

I understand the Alien Soup theme requires green, but I gotta say the current color scheme is downright depressing. It is too dark! Can you lighten things up a bit. Having switched back and forth between AnandD|CK and here (to research some of my rants), I hate to say, but their site is brighter and cheerier to use (although the content and actual environment is doom and gloom).

So I say, lighten up a bit! . Can do??

Most abductees claim they were molested by the aliens (haven't you ever seen Independence Day?), since when is being abducted and molested by aliens been a cheerful thing? .

On a serious note though, I think a lot of people like the color scheme, myself included, what do you think people, sound off (I dont think very many people visit here though heh)

I agree with Capt; the dark green is too dark. (And I don't care much for the light green). Thanks.

 

We're changing around the color scheme a tad.. Right now we have a contest running, which *might* be extended once again.. It can be found in the Announcements forum. $100 supercertificate from giftcertificates.com to the winner of that very contest. Current deadline is in about 28 hours.. (friday by midnight)

We're redoing graphics and colors as well quite soon, so stay tuned...

My eyes and my emotional state thank you for the new color scheme!!

Appropriate Alien-ness, without the dark, brooding colors!!

Only took a bit less than a year to implement- do you work for the government?? . Just kidding!! Of course you do!! .

Thank you, Alien (aka The Big Giant Head)

Hey, if they didn't want me to have it, why did they offer it?

 

Those changes you mentioned were put into effect July 4th, 2000. (We seem to have a habit of putting things up on holidays eh?)

These are new changes, which we're still in the process of working on. However, the largest site change is still to come.

Stay tuned...

hm.. july 4th was the day after i got abducted. you'd think i'd have noticed a change after one day, but i don't recall it. oh well. or maybe alien is brainwashing us all!!!

i have to admit, i can't think of too many changes bigger than the ones we've had, but if you say so, alien, then i guess i'll wait in breathless anticipation .

I think the current color scheme is a little off the subject of aliens, dontcha think?
It's cool, really cool and goot color contrast, but it just doesn't fit

Sit back, buckle up, and strap yourself in...this will be a bumpy ride on a joy ride!
Hey, it's the least I can do, and you know that's all I do

I like the new colours, good job alien .

Well whatever

Alien,

Yah, I noticed the July 4th change- barely, but THIS &lt;points to new look of site&gt; is what I was talking about. Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate the hard work on the new look!!

Yea, Big Giant Head!! Yohoo!

Ahh, I'm happy you like it. .

We'll have some other adjustments made to match the new website when that goes live.

I'll state again, that the new website will be just that. It will emcompass many other things, the forums (what you're reading now of course) will be but only 1 link out of about a dozen to start.

It will be done 'when it's done'.
