Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 We're moving??? We are moving to a new webhost... one that is better suited to host a forum like ours. Our current host has had some issues and tends to go down for unknown reasons.Don't worry though, we will give advance notice of the move, and will provide a URL to go to to receive status information if the downtime takes longer than expected.

Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 I'll toss something out there for everyone to consider... look at how many members we have, but look at how many have a post count of 0. Now I know a lot of members read and never post... posting isn't the issue.But what if the default color wasn't the deep dark purple that we have now? Do you think we would have more of the 0 post members posting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_P Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Hey, HEY!! No trying to bias the voting. But what if the default color wasn't the deep dark purple that we have now? Do you think we would have more of the 0 post members posting?Absolutely, that's why BLUE is leading in the poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think we would have more of the 0 post members posting?Absolutely, that's why BLUE is leading in the poll. But BLUE is the default for ALL IPB forums. We should at least pick a different color... like GREEN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_P Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Ok, I've just gone to My Controls and viewed the 4 skin options. If not Blue then I prefer Snow. Sage/Green is too intense like the Purple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil P Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 New version of IPB too? Or just a new host?I've already voted in the poll (GO BLUE!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 New version of IPB too? Or just a new host?I've already voted in the poll (GO BLUE!)Yes we are going to be going to version 1.3.1, a bit late and close to version 2, but with the move we are being forced to upgrade, which will benefit everyone.

Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 Dont worry about crazy colors... I chose hues that were easy on the eyes. The dark purple and blue will be much more muted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 My vote went to gray ( sorry, no green Arena ) Bruno Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzDuckie Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I could go for dark purple...Something different than blue....blue is all over the place... In fact I think the two most common colors I've seen on forums are blue and yellow/gold...with a few reds/pinks thrown in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James M. Fisher Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 For the default skin I went with Gray...oops, I mean Snow. Gray Snow? Only in Toronto! :lol:The 'Lite sage' is nice, if that is what is considered 'green'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfProRM Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 The good part is that no matter what the default is, you will be able to change it again. So if you don't like the new default, don't worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachy Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Yeh, but if you change it to blue then I will have to change my skin to another colour. That's how I distinguish between when I'm logged on or off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross549 Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 You log off?? Go Blue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Blue is my favorite color but I use and like purple here because it is different. I get tired of seeing everything blue all over the web. Go purple! Purple is the color of royalty. Even if purple doesn't win, I'll probably skin it because I'm accustomed to that look here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbeL Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I voted for purple. Two reasons:it's different (everything else is blue)it's my granddaughter's favorite color - THAT should make it the SURE winner.As for green - thats a little biliousAnd grey snow - you wanna see grey snow?

Arena2045 Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 The good part is that no matter what the default is, you will be able to change it again. Â So if you don't like the new default, don't worry I have to agree with Ryan's post... No matter which is selected as default, users will be able to change to their color of choice.
