I don't think "fixed" is the right word, probably updated?
But anyways, I got used to it, and I like it. Its good.

Have made a few adjustments, more to come.

Will attempt to fix the quote box, as well as make sticky threads stand out more.

*edit* sticky threads stand out more now.

The blue is kinda annoying to look at.

I like the whole theme, I think.Definitely a much better update for us as a server ;D.

To bring a few opinions, I think the site is pretty good. When you go to the forum page, it heavily reminds me of www.minecraftforum.net, which isn't so bad. I kinda like the color scheme for the site as well, however I think we can go beyond black and white. The overall logo is pretty definitive of our server, epic yet simple, and the block "being any kind of block". The voting idea seems to be kicking off real well and I think the monthly rewards are a pretty good idea. I love the menu bar, making everything much simpler to navigate for those who are new to the forums.

Really nice. We are definitely becoming a bigger and better server :D

I like it in general and I think i will get used to it however:


  • I don't really like the logo (personal preference)
  • I don't understand why sometimes people's names are blue but other times not

Alright, made a few changes as listed below.

  • Small text should be larger
  • Grey on grey text is now black on grey
  • Links are now blue, not grey
  • Sticky topics now stand out more
  • Quotes in forum now have border to help distinguish them
  • live map opens in new tab

Think that was all for now. Please keep posting suggestions, its really helpful and we are listening :)

I like it!

I think you should change one thing - when I get the voting window, the border and the space around the title is a boring grey color. In my opinion you should change it to a more lively color like the cyan color that was before it.

Now, I like even more!!!

Optical, I was thinking, would the site be better if you add as a background a picture of the ingame server?
For example, Coloseum, or whatever..
I just post ideas.. Let me know what you think, so I can guide my thinking, and if a "move" like that would turn the site to a more immature web-site..

That just gets tacky. I personally believe a move like that would just clutter things up.

ZX made this for a movie I was making (Still in the works). He gave me permission to suggest this as logo. I think it works as it is nice and simple, and uses our 2 main colours (Well old colours if black is the new one).

Sorry but that is too big.

It appears I can no longer scroll across images that are too large to fit in the comment box. Is this because of the new theme?

EDIT: I still can scroll using the old theme.

Can you show me an example somewhere. Will get it fixed once I know what you mean.
