I sense that somebody's sub-conscious has been troubling them for a while :?: It has now manifested itself in the creation of this new and wonderfully revamped forum site.
This could of course, also be directly related to a mother fixation with all this beauty abounding. An inner desire to procreate which has manifested itself as an artistic creation.
I have asked for a second opinion on this phenomena and my trusted assistant has reluctantly offered the following opinion:
"The inner psyche is a complex plethora of numerous variables. But it is quite obvious that in this case there is a definite Oedipus complex coming to the fore."
I feel that this display of creativity is to be admired and built upon.

Remember half the people you know are below average.

Thanks everybody!

It seems like there are a bunch of you that don’t the new look, I though that it would be a welcomed change but some of you don’t seem to like it or perhaps don’t like change. Please vote on the main page as to how you feel about it, democracy rules (even if I don’t like it) and if the majority of you don’t like the change I will make a plan.

The site should load faster because it is a bit lighter, I saw a comment about the site loading slower. This doesn’t make any sense.

I haven’t had time to read through all the posts in the topic but will do so, I’ll give more feedback in a short while.

The colour scheme is nice, but the format of the site is still the same. It would've been nice if the layout of the site had been changed...just my opinion. Still looks great in any case.

The site does seem to load slower. It looks nice though, it'll take some getting used to.

I didn't find a difference in the loading times when I was using IE. Now that I'm using Firefox it's almost instantaneous.

Might it not seem slower since everything has to be re-loaded into temp folder since everything is new. This morning it did come up slower but now it is pretty much the same as before. No REAL noticable difference in speed. I'm on ISDN. anyone with anologue 56K or less notice speed changes?

I'm not sure if this was brought to notice:

1. This site looks similar the other one's, people are gonna get confused between them.

2. Your server time is wrong, or is this my PC's prob.

But i think it's cool and exciting.

As I've been using the forums thru the day, I have found why Cameron picked this theme. It is so easy on the eye and it looks more professional than the previous theme.
