Insomnia Sometimes Pays Off...

[Leon]

Well, if you haven't noticed already, I finally got the Galaga badges back up. I was having problems falling asleep, so I got up and decided to tweak the forums. I have to go paintballing today too. I think I'm gonna pass out in the middle of the game.

[Speedfreak]

They look gooood.. I saw as you were doing it. It seems a little less "crowded" all the way at the bottom there.

[Leon]

Yeah, you must have saw them when I had them right under the user titles. Combine that with the Avatars, and it looked pretty cluttered. The bottom looks better to me too.

[Speedfreak]

They look crispy in the dark, too. ;)

[Leon]

You know what? I thought I would hate the dark scheme, but it has really grown on me. The default was good, but I find the dark pretty easy on my eyes.

[Speedfreak]

Ya, I hadn't tried it since it was first available and the colors have changed and it is much better now. The contrast is really good for everything.

I like the badges and I love the dark color scheme! I tried it before Leon & slaw tweaked it and switched back immediately cause it was hard to see some things. So I mentioned it to slaw and he said he & Leon had just finished doing the colors and I tried it again & loved it. :) That's what I'm using.

actually maybe half of it (back then anyway). :)

back then it wasnt that big of a deal. It wasnt post neffing at all. not like today, when theres a LOT more people on board, and such posting would encourage newbies to do the same, who dont know any better. Bandwidth hogging wasnt a problem, and it was fun back then.

now its more of an annoyance if anyone does it.



True, I can't even imagine a thread like the "HSD Forum" thread getting past one page today. But then again we have that word association thread :rolleyes:

[GraingerGuy]

Ok...do I have this right?

10 = The really small badge w/ two stripes

50 = The badge with the 5 on it

100 = The badge with the Gold bird looking thing on it

1000 = The badge with the white bird looking thing on it

5000 = the one with the U/V on it

Is that correct?

[speedracer120]

Can't say it takes me back to the "good 'ol days" to see the Galaga badges back up, but they do look pretty good after a long hiatus.

Whoever thought of the dark scheme should be given plenty of beers. http://sbp777.homestead.com/files/wink2.gif

whoops, and you

No, that was forgetting a bunch of others...

This is for forgetting me... :boxing:

Seriously though, I think--with the exception of about 3 or 4 members--that most everybody with 2000+ posts don't do a lot of postcount ++.
