style sets

[The Man]

which one are you using? I'm using Hitlar Tiem :pimp:

[Daven]

I wish we had a style set of the original tGA, from teh ezboard days.

[Daven]

Or that bright yellow one that someone did in teh SYM

[Loony BoB]

Yamaneko.

I could probably get one done using the tGA ezBoard colours (the current ones) but I think the two (proper) ones we have right now are good enough.

[Daven]

I was thinking the older one, which may be long forgotten and lost in history forever.

Or it may be on the way-back machine!

*goes to look*

[The Man]

Heh, if someone wants to make a screenshot of what it used to look like, give it to me and I'll make a style set based off of it, no problem. :pimp:

Didn't feel like making a link, but here's the oldest one archived.

[The Man]

Strangely eoff-ish. I'll make it though; if you have any other tGA style sets archived, let me know. I particularly liked the one of Jojo's that got deleted in the great ASPwebserver rape of mid-'03 ;_;

I looked in the admin CP, and it says the limit for a jpg should be 10000. @_@

[The Man]

massive rape then. I recommend .zipping it, if that'll do any good.

That's from mid '03. Was that what you had in mind?

[Daven]

I even have the banner from that era, if you want it.

[The Man]

Yep, that's it, I'll work on creating it right now. The banner would be nice too, although I don't have ftp access to upload it. :(

Do you still have the html source? Sometimes screenshotting messes up the colours somewhat from their original values :(

[Kossage]

And that's about all I have archived.

[The Man]

awsm, that should be a lot more helpful. Thanks.

edit: oh bugger it, I'll finish this tomorrow, great as it is :ninja:

[Raistlin]

I swear I said something a few weeks ago about having only two legitimate style sets(not counting ed's and Hitlar).

[Loony BoB]

"File Too Large. Limit for this filetype is 39.1 KB. Your file is 366.4 KB."

10,000 bytes.

[Mr. Graves]

Hmm. I already know ed's, I'll have a look at the other styles in a sed.

[Mr. Graves]

ok, Spatvark is a bit too dark for my liking. Hitler makes my browser run slow even on Cable. I really like the Nostalgia style set, though. *switches to that for awhile*

[The Man]

I swear I said something a few weeks ago about having only two legitimate style sets(not counting ed's and Hitlar).
You did, but surely using old tGA stylesets wouldn't be going astray :ninja:

[Raistlin]

1. My last post was sarcasm.

2. I don't want numerous style sets. Period. I don't give a damn about the style sets as long as we have one. The one you made with Spatvark's theme is more than enough extra.

[Daven]

Maybe you should just suck it up, princess! ;p

And is 10,000 bytes 39.1 KB? Seems like an odd incriment so it confused me.

[Spatvark]

1024 bytes = 1kb
10,000 / 1024 = 9.765625 kb = 9.77kb (2d.p.)

so, that's your limit in kb

Anyway, I use my theme; that is to say, the one named after me, but made by Aaron, using the colours from my still non-visible site redesign (HINT, FREAKING HINT, YOU BASTAGEFACES!). I like the darkness =D?

I need to go to bed, otherwise I'd do it now. It'll be done tomorrow. Promise. :P

[Never Is A Promise]

If we can have a choice, then let us have that choice. I've been willing to help out, but everytime I do it seems no one just gives a damn. Like me making a banner and then you bastages turn it into a mockery.

[Never Is A Promise]

by the way I vote for this:

http://members.lycos.co.uk/daventhalas/tGA02.jpg

[Daven]

I'm using the one NIAP showed, and have been happy doing so. I hope to see Aaron complete it.

[Daven]

At least I was until I discouvered it missing and tried to see if I could get it back to no avail. I swear if this isn't fixed or isn't my imagination, someone will be mightly bitch slapped.

[Never Is A Promise]

REVOLT REVOLT!!!

[The Man]

I removed the style set from the list of selectable stylesets because it wasn't finished; I was going to get it done on Tuesday (got company until then so odds are it won't be done sooner). Unfortunately, WesLY decided to de-admin me without asking me if I'd finished everything I wanted to do, which means that it will most likely remain unfinished unless someone feels like re-promoting me (I'll demote myself when I'm done making the style set, no worries). I vote we lynch Wes for this. :pimp:

[Kirobaito]

Spatty-poopy-panties.

[Raistlin]

I vote that next time Aaron finishes the bloody job the first time. >=o

[The Man]

I vote that too, but sometimes WE DON'T HAVE A BLOODY CHOICE, NOW DO WE?

Oh, and I finally got LastFF's redirect ring up just now so if you feel like restoring that into the footer, feel free, otherwise I'll do it tomorrow or Tuesday.

There's a couple other minor aesthetic things I'm going to do before I de-admin myself (Yes, they'll be improvements), but I don't really thing anyone will care if I don't bother saying what they are right now. :ninja:

Edit: It would quite blatantly help me if you'd restore my permissions so I can do more than screw with announcements, moderation and statistics :smash:

[Rock and/or Roll]

I'm using the old-school tGA styleset.

[Daven]

Yay, JoJo is back!

<3

[Naraku]

I think the Stalin one would be sexy if it didn't have the annoying background...

[Never Is A Promise]

GO JOJO GO JOJO!

[Yamaneko]

I think the Stalin one would be sexy if it didn't have the annoying background...
There's a Stalin one?

There's too many style sets. This isn't FG. Make one official and have just one other one.

[Never Is A Promise]

Uh...Leave them. What the hell is that comment anyway? Who the fuck is FG or rather what the fuck is it?

[The Man]

That's Hitlar to you >:o

And almost all of these style sets come from one incarnation of tGA or other, except for Hitlar and ed's which are gimmicks. If you want to take out the Night Sky and Dark and Artsy ones though, which are completely unrelated to tGA, go ahead I guess, but I don't see why allowing users to use more style sets is a bad thing :smash:

FG (http://www.fools-gold.org/forum/), which has style sets numbering into the fifties I think

[Never Is A Promise]

I don't really see what the big deal is as far as styles go. I say, let us have an option. Cuz personally, some of these style sets suck hardcore ass and I for one don't want to look at them.

[The Man]

ed's technicolour nightmare should be the requisite style set for all users who aren't logged in, i'maho. :smash:

edit: nm hitlar tiem is better :ninja:

[Raistlin]

There's a Stalin one?

There's too many style sets. This isn't FG. Make one official and have just one other one.
THAT'S WHAT I SAID WEEKS AGO.

I think once these all get made, I'm going to call for a vote, and those two that win remain. Unless the members vote wrong, like they did at the last EoFF SN tourney, which then I'll just pick the two I like best. So basically, the two I like best win anyway.

[The Man]

tyrant :(

a lot of people, like Jill, seem to like the excess of style sets; I think if anything should be voted on it's whether style sets should be removed at all. I'll go ahead and disable Night Sky and Dark and Artsy since everyone's all psycho-nazi about style sets though, and if no one uses other style sets when we have a poll you can take those out as well. It seems to me that if people are using it and it's not hurting bandwidth, WHICH IT ISN'T, there's really no reason to take it out :ninja:

[Raistlin]

...

I will say this one more time: finish making your style sets, then please deadmin yourself. I will do what I think best from there on out where the style sets are concerned. My decision will be non-debatable, and therefor final. This is an RPing board. No one gives a fuck about style sets; nobody(except NIAP who doesn't RP anyway) would care if we only have one style set. The end.

[The Man]

Fine, I just don't understand what the benefit of removing style sets is. The fact that the votes on this poll are kind of spread out indicates to me that people like the extra style sets we have and would like them to remain. But whatever, it's your board, your decision.

I'm done making style sets and have been since this morning; I was honestly quite confounded, when returning to the board, as to why I'd been re-adminned after demoting myself. I'll remove myself from power now.

[Never Is A Promise]

It's moments like this when I just laugh at how ridiculous Raistlin can be. :)

[The Man]

lmfao, I like Jill's attitude :pimp:

[Never Is A Promise]

Hah..well...I can be pretty damn cranky. I'm trying real hard to keep a halfway decent, yet sarcastic attitude.

[reno]

im not using a style set
post data is transferred directly into my brain

[Spatvark]

ooh, would that be the download shit into your brain v3.1 I heard about =D?

[reno]

v2.7

3.1 hasd too much gay porn pop ups

[Yamaneko]

I'm going to become rich and famous after i invent a device that allows you to stab people in the face over the internet.

[Agent Proto]

I think we should stick with one style only. Choices are good, but when it comes to RPing, I'd rather not get distracted by the forum colors.

[Spatvark]

<3 yams for getting stupid references XD

[reno]

all women want it
in the ass
they're like plzplzplz
then they're all
IM ONLY 13 IM ONLY 13

[Raistlin]

women ask for it
they act all old and mature
and then you stick your cock up their ass
and they get all bitchy
"I'M ONLY 13 I'M ONLY 13"

[Lynx]

...Wrong thread to check, apparently, if I wanted to talk about style sets.

One or three is fine by me. Anything else is stupid, including setting etn as the default; how do we get new members when visitors get their eyes raped? Sorry, Manny.

[Loony BoB]

Seriously, yeah. I'm changing that back if it's still like that. D= If a Councillor did it he can change it again.

[The Man]

I'd imagine it was WesLY who did it, but that's only because Bleys is away at the moment.

[Raistlin]

I sure as hell didn't do it.

[Loony BoB]

It was already changed back (or something) anyways.

[The Man]

My guess is that you'd just changed your style set to etn momentarily and didn't realise it the next time you loaded up the forums. These things happen though.

[Lynx]

You misunderstand. I said that it would be stupid if the suggestion of using etn as the default for non-reg members and people not logged in. I don't believe it was ever set as such.

[Daven]

Is there a way make it so I can keep my JoJo styleset, but remove it from everyone else's options? If not, I'm afraid I'm going to have to make a counter-hissy fit.

[The Man]

I'll be right pissed about the Jojo styleset myself if it ends up disappearing, this is one of the greatest colour schemes on any message board ever.

[Daven]

Indeed. It is befitting of the noble Jojo name.

[Naraku]

I don't see anything nice about the Jojo style. It's rather harsh on my eyes, actually. I prefer the Hitler Tiem one.

[Daven]

That's because you have teh maggoty eyes!!!

[The Man]

Hitlar Tiem is indisputably the greatest style set that has ever been made, I'd use it a lot more often but then I'd lose my appreciation for it and that would be worse than suicide.

[Naraku]

I love it personally. I just wish the background was a plain colour, and the banner at the top was a hitler image.

[Never Is A Promise]

I'll..uh just make my own tGA...haha

[Raistlin]

*closes so he can make new poll*
