I reckon the orange looks cool on the eclipse. It's a bit too much on the posts themselves, though.

Okay, this makes me very sick. Good thing that this is temporary. And no one suggest that Christmas color scheme, if I wanted to see that I'd go down to the mall on Thanksgiving.

"Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook or tie down his tongue with a rope? Can you put a cord through his nose or pierce his jaw with a hook? Will he keep begging you for mercy? Will he speak to you with gentle words? Will he make an agreement with you for you to take him as your slave for life? Can you make a pet of him like a bird or put him on a leash for your girls? Will traders barter for him? Will they divide him up among the merchants? Can you fill his hide with harpoons or his head with fishing spears. If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the struggle and never do it again!" -Job 41:1 - Job 41:8

I also was shcoked when I saw this. One comment though: Isn't making special stuff for Halloween saying that Christianity is dominant? This was one reason most teachers at my school didn't give out candy on Friday.

Hmmmmmmmmm. *muses for awhile* ...I like it.

Federation Shipmaster: Aw, you're getting too much into it. It's just a halloween colorscheme. Besides...Christianity IS dominant......my whole neighborhood is a halloween colorscheme, why shouldn't the forums be this also? *L* (Not that I'm a Christian, but they think of some damn fine holidays.)

So, are you going to keep these colors around through Guy Fawkes day?

Actually, Shipmaster, since the holiday was based on pagan tradition and frowned upon by many christians, he's actually encouraging paganism. Or not.

Hmm, I may be strange, but I kinda like the new 'do

I don't know why, but It just seems neat, like the grand master and all-powerful powers that be, think of us as worthy enough to go and change the colors, taking personal time so we can feel festive. It seems cozy.

Yes, very nice. Now can we change it back, please? Or to something new anyway, the old one was getting a bit boring. Bring on EnterForum-WTF?, I say. . .

It's just a refit, not a new forum, Lee...

Not only a Christmas colourscheme, but we need one for New Years (since it's gonna be 2000), a Valentine's day colourscheme, and how about a St. Patrick's colourscheme (I think there is going to be a lot of nausea over that one)........
