Ok, so we've got a veritable boat load of skins. The staff talks about deleting them like every year but it never happens, so I'm going to put this here to remind us to do it. I'm also going to place an ultimatum saying that everyone has two weeks to say which skins they really don't want deleted or which ones they do. At the end of the two weeks, any skin not vouched for at least once, or any that are not being used by a relatively active member, gets summarily destroyed. It's gonna be a massacre.
Skins people would like to keep -Machine -Parchment -Minimalism Dark -Plaza -Mosaic -Hoy Photu -ORP -Freewebs Nightfall -NeoExodus -Ulaich (may just be remixed under a different name) -Inferno -New Era -APCARP -Creepy Monotone -Winter Retroland -Space -Royalty (I like the idea, though, so I might remix it)
Skins that people want kicked -Oloysian -Alryst -Vashval -Emerald -Mafia -Plaza remix (redundant theme, but I'll probably reuse the colors) -Minimalism (now absolutely useless next to Creepy Monotone)
Th eonly SKIN that matters on the interNET -SWEET BRO AND HELLA JEFF

I assume you left SBaHJ off the keep list because it went without saying. But the common rabble might need that clarified.

Also I like some of the colors in Mafia but overall it looks really tacky so I'll drop it readily.

Man Century Gothic is a classy font. But overall Mafia lacks polish so I'm seconding the drop.
also when bold, century gothic looks suspiciously like comic sans.

It's true, Century Gothic is legit and might be a good choice if you do a Royalty remix.

oh look, APCARP has bright green text with the generic serif. Dislike.

Interesting. Dark blue and neon green. Very interesting.
In this case I mean "ugly", as neon green is with every color.

I'm putting down New Era, too.

I use the Ulaich skin on occasion, especially if I'm with my girlfriend.

Ulaich: putting girls in the mood.
I'll look at it. If we delete the house skins, I might just remix it and call it something different.

Ok I did a quick check and there are at least two people using Inferno, so I may just fix the banner to be something less "done by a high school kid with Photoshop 4." Ugh.

What happened to you changing it to this one Also, I like Inferno other than its current shitty banner and the weird background that I think is supposed to be flames but isn't. EDIT: I also dig New Era. EDIT2: I don't dig that New Era's banner isn't a link to the home page.

oh i forgot you did that. inferno is redeemed, but looking at that banner again, it looks too much like a dance show font. birth of a hero might be a good replacement. now i need to figure out a better background.
new era stands redeemed as well.

I don't think we need both New Era and Space though! I have said this time and again. They are so so redundant.
I say slap Space's banner onto New Era's color scheme and get rid of Space. The yellow doesn't do it for me.

Space's banner is large and obtrusive and silly though. As I recall, it was the reason I went with MinDark over Space.
I don't dig the yellow highlights on space but I think it's fine otherwise.

i'm down for striking space without keeping any of it. may redo new era's background to be more spacey and less sparkley, then.

Post by Shrouded Wolf on Jul 6, 2010 19:21:51 GMT -5
...actually, personally, other than its banner, I do like Space...
Then again, if y'all got rid of it, I could settle for minimalist dark or freewebs nightfall.

I like APCARP. It's not pretty, but it is thematic. I think I'll take the green down a notch, though it's supposed to evoke using a straightforward computer (thus the text buttons) with no graphical fanciness.
Eh, maybe grey, white, and blue? That wouldn't be too redundant, but a bit harsh on the eyes. I want to preserve the grey and blue though, since I'm working on an APCARP logo for the banner.

then switch to courier for the font with light gray for the text. Like a blue screen of death.

Good idea. Choobs, you're a genius.
Now, just to create a background evoking the typical beige plastic of mid-90's monitors...

although feel free to mess with that blue color. the blue screen 0000ff is terrible.

Hey Lee. Try the skin "Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff". You will like it.
Also, why did Loogs only ever design skins that were black and blue, or hideous. And since basically all of her hideous skins have since been purged, I revise my question to why did Loogs only ever design skins that were black and blue.
Black and blue black and blue black and blue.
Don't fucking tell me they look good together I know they look good together. This is the only color scheme she ever used.

looking at space again, i kinda like it again minus the banner. i just need to switch to a different highlight and yeah. I don't actually think it's redundant because green is a very festive color.

I tried Sweetbro and Hella Jeff. It makes Dcfault totally pointless.Like, it wants to die because it has no point now.
And really. Black and blue. It's Loogs. We can summarize with "Those are the colors that best match my mood."
Of course, then again, everybody has colors they trend towards. I like blues, greys, and greens. Pohatu tends towards warmer colors typically, especially a fondness for rich shades of red. BB likes borderline pastels and blues. And Choobeh likes those drab minimalist beasts and otherwise neat skins.

blue is a beautiful color, as long as it is dark.

It is redundant because they are both space skins. The only difference between them is that one has a banner and yellow links and the other one has no banner and green links. They might have two different backgrounds. Or they might not! I'm not even sure. They are both space backgrounds. Because they are both space skins. We somehow ended up with two space skins whose differences I could count on one hand even if you chopped off two of my fingers. On that hand. This is very simple.
