    Insomnia Sometimes Pays Off...

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    now i just feel that way about 10,000
    Am I alone here? Is that it?
    Am I the only one who sees.

    Maybe we can learn to be just like him.
    Wear a little uniform.

    No, sir.

    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.

    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

    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?

    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.

    Cool

    Whoever thought of the dark scheme should be given plenty of beers.

    Just think there are people who got their posts by not neffing at all.

    This is for forgetting me...

    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 ++.
