God, I just sent Charles a message asking if something was wrong with the site... Mybad.
Its the kind of retro I'd go for... not like a certain sci-fi show that was cancelled for low ratings...

It's been a long time but I don't remember it looking this crappy. I do prefer the newer version we use to this one - the use of these shades of blue and gray just CLASH - and the colour of the font doesn't work with them at all... I feels like one of those obnoxious windows colour schemes "neon" or something. It's seriously givving me a headache!

I liked this style, but I've come to appreciate the brighter shades of blue that Charles shifted to. I can't remember what the MCARS style looked like. Anyone save a sample of it?

Fuuuuck that. I dig this. A cool shadowy version.... Would there be a way to have both? Some sort of "View" option?

Before your time. One year, at least.
(If I'm remembering right, the old color scheme was iced in May '01, around when Charles set us up the UBB6 bomb, but it's been a while.)

I believe I still have the original MCARS somewhere...

I really like reading in this old format instead, because white text on a dark background is much easier on the eyes than black text on a bright backdrop. Like balm on my eyes, and I just finished catching up on two whole pages of that smurfy abortion thread, so I'm tired now.
If you don't switch back to this old theme (which I like), the future format should at least use white text on a darker background.

That's nice work, Adam, but I honestly don't remember Flare ever having an MCARS theme. When about was it used?
