I've been trying to think of something witty to say on the coloured text thing for awhile now... it's just not coming...

*smacks forehead*

You could have chosen to say something sarcastic instead, like why haven't the admins bothered to re-implement the {colour} and {bw} tags until now.

I fought that battle once before - my revolutionary days are behind me

Although I must say I am a fan of the reintroduction

[Polpolion]

I personally don't mind colors like your color, BW. For one, it's not this bright, crazy distracting color, and two, it doesn't blend into the background.

[Mobius]

This has gotten out of hand really quickly. Could someone please get them to stop? It's really distracting and makes reading it difficult. And AFAIK, I can't just choose to hide them like I could signatures.

I'd PM them and ask them to stop, but I don't want to have to PM about seven people like that.

Yeah, because thesizzler is always ready to criticize Mobius

Red makes people aggressive. Green has the contrary effect. Are you happy now?

[Jeff Vader]

Green is even harder to read, and therefore makes at least me quite aggressive. If you have to use coloured text, go back to red. Or better yet, neon pink. That really stands out from the background. And reminds us of Hideto Matsumoto.

Not if you're a Rangers fan.

You and Maeg were the only people to have coloured text, and it was tastefully done, and now it sucks because noobs have been making this place look like a preschool lately.

That's what I'm saying!

There are advantages: my n00b status will become public and I'll no longer receive "Help Me!" PMs from newcomers.

[Hippo]

Nor will anyone take you seriously.

[Mobius]

Expect the same thing from me.

You talk of colors as a threat to HLP's bandwith. What's the problem with them? Your posts are WHITE, my posts can be RED. You use colored posts, too

[Snail]

But he's using the default color. You're using a different color which derails about 20% of all threads you post in.

Chicken.

[Mobius]

Default or not, white is a color. And what's the difference between colored posts and colored signatures? You claimed...that you use your signature to find your posts when parsing a page. Colored posts are even easier to find

Condor.

[Jeff Vader]

I don't think it's about using colours anymore. It's about using colours that are ****ing hard to read. Black Wolf uses a pretty colour that stand up from the black background. You use a dark red that is as easy to see as a shadow on the road on a dark autumn night. If your sanity really demands you to use posts that aren't white, at least go with a brighter colour so that we can see what you've been typing. K?

[BlueFlames]

What's the difference between colored posts and colored signatures?

I can (and have) turned off signatures for being needlessly obstructive.  Until this board gives me the ability to ignore users, I can't turn off your needlessly obstructive posting habits or the flames that result from them.

Are you refering to me?!?

Many signatures are useful. There are links to The FAQ^TM, Media VPs, Turey's Installer, screenshots, "How to solve the X problem" hints(these things make them useful for newcomers), opinions about various aspects of life...and most signatures are just...funny to read. Ignore them at your own risk.


I have just switched to light blue. My nickname is Mobius so lightblue was the only possible solution. I will not change it

[Goober5000]

Maybe we should segregate the board.  Colored posters can have their own unmoderated forum and aren't allowed to leave it.

[vyper]

Eventually they'll rise up and become mods through a positive discrimination policy.

If everyone wants to feel like they are posting from the middle of a Gay Pride festival, it's up to them I suppose.

Well spoken!

You think I do it "because I want to feel special". Well, you are wrong

You're wrong, too
