So hi guys, it's me, you're friendly speedster and jackas$ Dylan.
AS all of you can see now, we have this lovely layout for the summer, however as it was pointed out earlier today the background color, while decent enough to read...is utter crap from a design stand point given it's contrast to the rest of the site
This is not at fault of the admins, since they left the background picture in the decision of us the users by means of a poll, sadly after all is said and done there were of course complaints. Myself included on the complaints department but I digress
Anyway, while it was agreed that this color is readable, it was brought up that a Forest background would be a nice touch in the spirit of summer and as a way to liven up the background rather than a bland solid color that detracts from the lively look of the rest of the summer layout that included the wonderful header, picture icons for the topics as far as post status, and overall lively vibe of the inner sight bright color
Now before I continue rambling like a baboon, I decided "Hey let's just load up google images and find some decent forest backgrounds to see what people like."
So that is what I did, and here are the things I picked (Note only three because I'm lazy and these three reminded me personally of camp)
This poll is meant to be a quick thing that isn't even really something that the admins have to ahead to. It's more of a "Hey if you don't like the background, vote for one of these and see if it changes the admins minds"
As such the poll will up until this coming friday at 10:00 pm Central Standard Time, why so late you ask? Well because I have a job and don't really have any shread of idea when I'll get home Friday.
Anyway I hope you guys take this into consideration and if you decide not to vote then that is perfectly fine. As I said, this is not official, this is to see if the admins will consider changing the theme even with how "late" into the summer some of us feel that we technically are.
If they don't then oh well, but if they do then that's just as well, it's all just a little trial idea.
Anyway I'mma get outta here before I bore you people any longer, bye bye
