Personally, I have a dislike for dark/black backgrounds. Warseer, for example, is repulsive to me... and I seem to recall picking the best skin they had to choose from...

Via Domus is nice (isn't that the default, anyway?) and so was the InvisionFree TWC skin, both with light backgrounds and dark text. I'm ignoring borders around the edges and all that, as those tend not to be the thing we read. Mid tones can work nicely as well (example).

I use Via Domus and I think its the default but when looking at the settings there is no way to make it default so I have to look and hope. Via Domus is the way it should be in my opinion.

"Should you ever feel agony for the loss of your Brothers due to enemy guns, bear through it with a stern smile and let your enemy know that you will get into combat soon enough. His judgement cannot be avoided!

Should your charge falter under heavy resistence, roar your devotion in His name and amount whatever strength you have left at one enemy point and crush it utterly! Let the enemy feel your pain by turning their's into agony!

Should you lay beaten and dying on the field, laugh with pride for even in death our enemies will fear us, leave them with a scar that will haunt them till the time of their retribution!" - Chaplain Valorus

equals the solution to the whole skin discussion. It's elegant and discreet without being generic.

As for the "focus" of the board, I don't think a forum board has to have one core issue to concentrate about. The only reason for that would be for easier recruitment (people join a place where they can discuss whatever they find interesting).

I'm not sure about the focus of this board. But for the board I'm an administrator on, very little discussion is actually about RuneScape, the game our board originates from. The board is focuses a lot just on general discussion, with little discussion about in game events.


Well - our community started as a Games Workshop forum board, but in only months it grew to be much more. So I don't really get your point about "the purpose of the board".

Sure it probably grew over those months but now I'd say that those GW forums are more of a side thing than a focus.

Hey, didn't FHAG used to be in the top category at one point? I seem to recall wanting it to be at the top of that. Now I think the Spam Pit should be at the top, with its own category again, with the FHAG category beneath it. Do it. You know you want to :P

I actually agree on the Spam Pit getting its own category again so that I may easier ignore it :P

I agree with sunny. I remember being the cause for it being moved in the first place, and it's probably going to happen again :P

I don't think the position of the Spam Pit is going to affect the gathering of new members in any way.
