Alpha Posted June 23, 2009 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted June 23, 2009 Share 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 Share 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 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I always use the default IPB skin... so the question is meaningless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucandrake Posted June 23, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gryph Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I've always preferred dark skins but an option for either is always better for a better user experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosound.97 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hmm, dark seems better for me, though I wasn't active that much here recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rag Posted June 23, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agozer Posted June 23, 2009 Share 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.

Bambi Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 the white and blue together make me sleepy........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krosigrim Posted June 24, 2009 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
