New Look, Same Board - The Go! is Back!

[Mode7]

I'm continuing to post here, in case you were wondering, in the hopes it might get others to share their views on this. Hell, I can't be the only one. It boggles my mind that after two pages or so of positive feedback to the original Go! design...

A) You changed it
B) Nobody really seemed to notice or mind

I've basically given up on the prospect of having the divine Go! scheme back, but please keep whatever you decide on relatively light.

Maybe it's just me, but when I'm using the Go skin, I still get the TNL theme on gaming and off topic forums. The anime forums are Go styled, though.

Whats going on? The Go look is going on and off.

that's no accident...I've only altered a few boards to be overrided (Gaming/Sound Off are generally the most visited of all the boards in general). This is just a temporary setting until I am done.

What the f is this 80's teal shit?

Good lord in heaven!

Don't like it. don't use it. have a nice day.

I'm sorry Bahn, but what the hell is the use of having a 'GameGo! theme' if it looks nothing like GameGo!...? Not only does it look nothing like GameGo!, but it looks like garbage outright. And don't act like it's breaks your little fingers to make the theme either, Andyrose made our Neomega GameGo! theme in a day and it looks exactly like GameGo!.

You're absolutely right. Once I am done tinkering with things, it will cease to be referred to as Gamego! It was a mistake to begin with...

I already covered this before, but in case you're unable to read, basically what I was saying was that the main problem lies with the topic icons (many of them are only compatible with darker color schemes only).

Setting up the colors is easy, creating colors that will go well with these icons (so that <b>all</b> of them can be seen) is the problem. I was satisfied to a point, but decided to work on it some more. In the end, the effort was noble, but futile. I haven't seen the scheme set up there, but the fact he was able to import the icons is mainly because his board is not sharing icons throughout his site and the board itself.

Regretfully, I've been doing a number of other online tasks short of catering to the needs the board community, but I have been tinkering left and right. If I end up becoming fed up altogether, I'll just put things back to the way they were (and you DO have the option to deselect this theme in the meantime).

Thanks for the feedback, but your elitist corner isn't here anyways

Indeed it was. You had the right idea before when you changed the name of the game forum from Gamego. TNL has become something completely different from Gamego as it was or TNL as it was before the merge. You recognized that, so your decision to bring back Go was baffling. I still get the impression it was more a good natured homage, and it wasn't meant to be anything more than that, but in this case, GameGo should stay dead.

Indeed it isn't. TNL is a reaction against that. Now anyone who voices any doubt whatsoever in todays game market is quickly jumped on and labeled a "hardcore" gamer. I'm surprised the old Squaregamer "HJOSL" thing hasn't been picked up yet. Elitism, anti-elitism, it's all the same.

Alan, you hit it right on the head...
In the future, I'll know better than to try digging up old roots.
