Okay, I'm really pushing this Rebirth theme as much as possible, and doing all I can to make it stick.
All: No, duh.
Anyways, I wanted to toss out some key issues: A: Anybody else have a hankering for a new default layout? This one is good and iconic, but I think that we should go for something a bit more sleek and utilitarian, probably with a blue/green scheme. The duality was nice with the site, but I think matching up could turn out even better. If so, I'll get the Skingods on it.
B: EP is broken. It's been almost a half a year since the last update, and the system was blatantly skewed from the beginning. I want to clean slate the system and reboot it, but that would be unfair. I know I'm gonna create another EP topic to replace the old one, but... I want to know what you people think should happen to the old EP. Carry it over directly, convert it into an appropriate ammount, or clean slate, so it seems less intimdating to the lower ones in the pile?

Give everyone 10% of their old EP or something.
For a new default, I think we should have a banner with images representing every member. If anyone wants sprite-based representation, I'd be happy to do that.

Do you know, if the EP system was dumped completely I wouldn't miss it. It has always existed in the periphery of my Archie Exie experience, benefitting me only because it serves as a nice quantifiable prize for Mafia games. But I don't think people have ever played Archie Exie Mafia games for the EP involved, anyway -- the fun of playing and hosting is a reward unto itself. So do whatever you like to EP or trash it. It wouldn't affect me too much.

I'm really mildly indifferent to EP.
And I'll start thinking of some new skinning ideas possibly. Although the idea of blue/green is kinda offputting. If the colors rape my eyes, I am so going in there and changing them.
EDIT: Scratch that, I'm currently working on the "New Era" skin right now, keeping that blue green motif in mind.
And about the banner representing the individuals: I think it'd be better if we didn't single ourselves out. That would make us seem elitist. I was thinking something more to do with the Earth, since we're going blue green, but w/e

I honestly couldn't care less about EP, yes ok so I'm like the most apathetic person on the internet in general when it comes to stuff like that, but really, does anyone actually pay attention to how much EP they have?
Personally a colour change I don't think will do much but hey, you can try it if you want man. Remember its more about whats going on in the forum, not how it looks.

Ep I am fine either way. I wouldn't miss it though. I think we should really go through our member list and clear out some of the inactives/duplicate people *cough*Pohatu*cough*

Well, the look could make people stick around longer, or entice them to actually join the site. Really we could display an image that makes it so we appear serious, and people will come. Also refer people to the site, and keep them active.

Hey kids, I've created the preliminary color scheme for the New Era skin. Any input?

Ooooo I like it. Can't wait to see a banner for it, another ch00beh original?

Very interesting. The background is truly stellar. *Ducks to avoid things thrown at him for the horrible pun*

That's okay, you can pun. I'll humor you.
And that is a superb skin. It takes a bunch of colors you think wouldn't work, and makes them work very, very nicely.

I'm not too bothered with EP being scrapped. It was a good idea but I don't think it's as usefull as it might be with a larger amount of members. I'm all for any promotion of The Exodus, it's time we got some new visitors. I find myself with a lot of time on my hands currently on account of having no job so I'm happy to advertise as much as possible.
