devilesk: THIS IS WHAT I THINK OF THE NEW SKIN
http://i49.tinypic.com/2ugz67s.pngOR RATHER IT IS MY OPINION OF IT OVER TIME
[14:32] IsolatedPurity: really?
[14:32] devilesk: yes
[14:32] devilesk: it was nice to look at for the first few minutes
[14:32] devilesk: then im like eh
[14:32] devilesk: i like carbonite better and would still rather use that
[14:32] devilesk: carbonite owns that skin
[14:33] devilesk: i like the nice sharp lines instead of the curves for forums
[14:34] devilesk: the skin is distracting
[14:34] devilesk: TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE REAL PURPOSE OF THE FORUM
[14:34] devilesk: its like if im reading a book do you want background images on every page?
[14:34] devilesk: like text on top of background images
[14:34] devilesk: NO YOU WANT PLAIN WHITE PAGES WITH BLACK TEXT
[14:35] devilesk: maybe the cover of the book can be nice and decoractive AT MOST
[14:36] devilesk: carbonite has the perfect blend
[14:36] devilesk: it has a nice header got some curves
[14:36] devilesk: the top of the forum has some nice rounded edges
[14:36] devilesk: but then the rest is all business
[14:36] devilesk: has a little border around the edges
[14:36] devilesk: but that's it
[14:37] devilesk: nice clean look
[14:37] IsolatedPurity: hm
[14:37] devilesk: the little shadows and bevels around boxed sections is a nice little touch but that's it
[14:37] devilesk: also the more i look at the skin the more it reminds me of a folder and that's just dumb
[14:38] devilesk: the forums look like flaps or scales
[14:39] devilesk: all it is is like
[14:39] devilesk: OMG I CAN USE GRADIENTS AND SHADOWS AND OPACITY AND SHIT SO COOL!
[14:39] devilesk: but in reality it's just lame
[14:40] devilesk: i think the top is nice and the big main headers is nice
[14:40] devilesk: but i think all that shit for the individual forums is too much
[14:40] devilesk: like just make it regular boxes for the insides
[14:40] devilesk: maybe with some bevel and shadow like what carbonite has
[14:41] devilesk: i think it could also just be the fact that there's no fucking bottom edge to any of them
[14:41] devilesk: it just blends into the background and into the next one which is stupid
[14:41] devilesk: i want a bottom
[14:42] devilesk: also
[14:42] IsolatedPurity: yeah, i am curious
[14:42] devilesk: the whole thing looks like a fuckin button
[14:42] IsolatedPurity: on what normal boxes might look like
[14:42] devilesk: i feel like its some flash shit that if i hover over it it will do some shit
[14:42] devilesk: and if click it it will have some animation like a button
