PInk Font/Other Game Thread Annoyances

[tyguy20204]

I would like to make the request that color font be banned from game threads, especially if that color is pink and hard to read.

 

Really, it comes across as quite amateurish and conflicts with the board's goal to foster quality discussion.

Personally, as long as it's not overused (meaning our "gimmicky" threads not being more than once every other week), I think people get a kick out of it.

 

I do agree that it is hard to read, though... my rods and cones!

It'd be horribly rude if a webmaster did it or if it were used often around the forums. It's an occasional game-thread thing, though, and people have fun with it.

 

You can override it by choosing to "always use my colors" in your web browser. Or you can check the site CSS that I tossed into the bottom of this thread: Sigs often looked too much like messages, but not anymore

 

Another option might be to shut down CSS entirely while you're on this site (View menu in Firefox), but since a lot of stuff is controlled via CSS, you might not like what you see.

When are we going to have a pink WOAH SOLVVED Haiku IGT?

My only complaint about these gimmicks is that they should be voluntary. I had a post deleted a couple weeks back because it wasn't in Jeopardy format, even though the game had already been over for 20 minutes.

 

I mean, who cares? The stuff is meant to be fun...imposed stuff is rarely fun.

Unless you're into that sort of thing

Why all the smart aleck answers lately?
