Title: Forum feed back is here for a reason.
Post by: goose on May 05, 2008, 01:02:36 AM
We have had this catagory since the phpbb days. We have it for a reson. If you have an issue, comment or suggestion dont hesitate to post it here.


We had no clue that this skin was unliked... Because noone told us. WE wont ban you for giving your opinion. Hell, I have banned a total of 5 people in the lifetime of my time as a mod/admin. Yea, I have messed with peoples avatars, but thats all in good fun.

So please, let us know. We are good people. We are both HURT that no one told us this before.

I would suggest letting her have a Pink Thread. I personally like the techno look. You can see the darker themes in the Starcore packs and my personal team, the Spin Doctors.

The only thing I think might be improved would be a lighter scheme; that would look better, and be easier on the eyes too.  Maybe I'm just used to the old 'official' forum.  Everything else on this site is very good IMO.

Oh well, a pink thread is not a problem for having a girl in the forum. Or perhaps there are other ladies?

Yep, I like your Starcore 3 background skin (especially the bot lab) and the sc3 tournament arena looks nice. And the AI pack is definitely challenging.

...You're a HS specialist, eh, Starcore ?

Would having a personal team called the Spin Doctors be a bit of a hint?

As a bit of trivia, when Starcore V3 came out Pop-ups rulled the arenas. It has taken us a long time for Horizontal Spinners to regain the throne. I got into the sport watching bots like Ziggo and Son of Wyachi. Since Full Body Spinners are pretty ineffective in Stock RA2, Horizontal Spinners are pretty much their closest kin.

Yep. No surprise popups ruled, they're effective against quite all types but undercutters (Hworf, Cleprechaun) or weapon rollers like Alligator....

But a HS with low mounted weapons generally wins against them.

Thats exactly how I feel. I was way used to the backround at the official forums but this backrounds fine.

I'm sorry if I sound like I'm about to rip on GTM, but I feel that the whole skin is just too dark. Perhaps keeping the dark background, but having the post boxes in a lighter grey (not extremely light though) would help. Also, I think that the poster information (name, avatar, etc.) should go on the left side of the post (like the original forums), and the post boxes should be joined, not a seperate box for each post. Also, for me, GTM just seems to have way too many seperate categories to post under, making site navigation confusing. Mabye either eliminate some of these that are not used often, or make certain sections more generalized.

Btw I like how the front page looks now.

I agree with Roboshark. The skin is, in my opinion, too dark when compared to the official forum's. I also agree with the more traditional left side placement of poster information. Hey, call me old fashioned, but it's not too often you see a forum with the info on the top of the post. It just doesn't feel very forum-like.

Hey, nice change. The member stats do look better on the left hand side.

I realy dont mean to sound like d**k but you guys realy care what color the page is? all the froum is is a place to talk and share ideas. IMO it dont matter what it looks like, this is easier on the eyes then the old forums. as for the other ideas i like them and look forward to seeing the important changes that ACAMS is doing. you just have to keep in mind that the RA2 site is gone and its time to try a few new things. change is not always as bad as it seems at first.

I think the ability to personally choose between skins would be great, because people are kind of divided on the skin issue.

Make it lighter, take away the technical support section that’s not under ra2, separate dsl and ra2 sections, put music and movies under chatterbox, and whatever else anyone can think of.

good call on the different skins i think it will be the best  on that issue.

Post by: Cooker on May 07, 2008, 04:43:13 AM
I think the way it is now, it is much better to read, than the old forum was. I like the member info placed in the left side. Nice job!
I think the dark background is ok, because in the game the background is dark too.

i think this is better, its need time to adopt but its much better for the eyes.
but i agree with kill343gs, its best to let people dedice the skin.
as for the Barbie, dont wait for her, she is working for uni or working at uni. either way, she is very busy and i dont think she will be get here soon.

Wow! the skin changed again. This one reminds me of the official RA2 forums. I'm not sure which one I like better.
