    So, with the advent of the new forum software comes a new skin with new functionality. The question is what sort of look are we wanting to go for?

    This poll was set up to get an idea on your input; what sort of things would you enjoy staring at, for hours on end, without a reprieve.

    Hmm, the old orange theme was nice, but changing it up a little bit would be even better :) A nice scheme that fits our new MegaBot, bit more yellow than previously would be awesome! I see that I'm currently the only one thinking like that though.

    I would like something new but with one of the main colors being something from the old version. Transitions are helped by familiarity.

    I'm tossing my 2 bits into the "new" hat. Though, whatever ya come up with is pretty good with me.

    I'm with Subject7 . . . I wanna see something new and shiney . . . like a new 2015 Ford Falcon! ^_^ o_O :rofl: Er . . . I mean, Megabot, yeah! :rolleyes: :D

    Seriously, though, let's put the past behind, and move on to something new and refreshing. Not that I disliked the old look (I would have no problem with seeing some of the old colors and schemes brought back) . . . but let's move forward with an exciting new look shall we? :p

    Definitely not the current new one, but then again this is like basic theme with minor tweak.
    Something new for a new start, But I do agree that we need it slightly darker a la the old site when it comes to the light/dark balance.
    Probably not as much as the MWO official site, that one is just hard to read under some circumstances.

    Super pumped about the update, Mr. Grimm. ;)

    I would say go for something new. Maybe a little darker to elude to the clash of oncoming clan warfare. Gotta get meaaan! Gotta get angry!

    I don't think 'Hulk' is a color scheme that I would support, though it would certainly be 'new'

    Let's freshen it up. Go crazy. Just don't do purple (sorry Epikt).

    What I find interesting is that 10 people voted to keep the old system but didn't post why :x

    If they think they have to hoose between this totally bright theme and the old one, I can imagine why.
    Someone don't really think about a total redesign.

    To combine everyone's thought.so far:
    A hardcore dark metal theme with shiny crazy mega-mechs dressing up as the hulk riding on purple death-chariots drawn around by angry ponys.

    PS: Oh, I do support Epikt having things purple. Maybe not purple and green.

    Ultimately the decision is mine however I do value the input. I am ironing out all the kinks and will worry about the pretty colors later.

    Go nuts! I don't know much about designing skins, but xenoforo forums have had some pretty slick ones.

    Make it Grimm & it'll be good. By the way, if I can help at all with the graphics side of it just ask.
