Alpha Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I was thinking to myself today and we had some of our best posting activity when we were using our white/orange skin back in 2003-2004. Could it be that dark skins put people in fear of posting more? Maybe it makes them feel tired, as the night has arisen, and the sun has gone down? I have definitely seen more members online than usual. Also, I noticed this computer I'm using can handle this new skin we have a lot better than the one we had before. Perhaps it's just me and my silly observations... we shall see!
Inky Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I didn't vote because I don't think it really matters. but I do find that the lighter skin (not white) is easier on the eyes. a white skin is to bright, and the darker skins can tire my eyes out over time.
Devia Eleven Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I would prefer a dark skin, but preferably not the one we had before. Ordinarily, I prefer dark skins on every forum I visit. A bright skin actually encourages me not to post as often. I would also guess more people are online because 1Emu is back in action after a rather long hiatus.
Robert Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I always use the default IPB skin... so the question is meaningless...
Lucandrake Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I would prefer an option over the two . But if you had to pick, light skins are harder on the eyes but visually appealing. Dark skins are easy on the eyes but look.... Anyways, I voted light.
Gryph Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I've always preferred dark skins but an option for either is always better for a better user experience.
nosound.97 Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Hmm, dark seems better for me, though I wasn't active that much here recently
Rag Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 You know if you didn't read the topic of this thread it would be very interesting just reading the posts... And I don't care about forum color.
Agozer Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 While I universally prefer dark skins, now that I've had to put up with this lighter version for while now, it's rally nice. Whether or not a lighter skin actually makes people want to post more, who knows. Perhaps some are more susceptible to the psychology and metal angle of colors, tones and such.
Krosigrim Posted June 24, 2009 Posted June 24, 2009 I voted No. Light skins do NOT make me post more. I miss the last skin, but... Is it posable to have a good amount of skins? That way there are choices?
The-Ice-Man Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I find things harder to read on this new skin. The old one made things much more readable somehow.
Bambi Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I find things harder to read on this new skin. The old one made things much more readable somehow. The white font on a black background was easier to read
Devia Eleven Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I find things harder to read on this new skin. The old one made things much more readable somehow. The white font on a black background was easier to read Agreed. On 2Emulation I was killing the boards, that skin contributed to the overall reason why.
Shoma Posted June 29, 2009 Posted June 29, 2009 I would say its the "annoying wife went on a vacation for a month' theory.You have her every single night and she sometimes is just "ehhh" but when she gone, you get the hankering and now that she's finally back, even if she looks a little different--- you just...destroy her(Family Guy reference)!So i think the hiatus had something to do with it.
