Just the same ugly taxi cab yellow clashing into the same nauseating gray over and over again until there's nobody left for it to offend?


I disagree with this assessment.

There is nothing ugly about taxi cab yellow. Nor is there anything nauseating about gray. Nor is there anything offensive about combining the two. Nor is there anything wrong with things being the same.

I for one deem the color scheme just fine as it is and find its consistency quite comforting.

This. Aside from the simplisticity of the guild, the "dark theme" that RPG has is always a draw to the site IMO. Much easier on the eyes than, say, RPN's clashing blue and white.

Hey everyone.

After almost ten years in Mexico, I've finally moved back to the States .

New city, new Mahz.

Last night, I started the process of dusting off the Guild's cobwebs after about three hours of emotional evasion.

@LegendBegins has been trying to contribute to the Guild's code for years. Much like the Guild, years of neglect wasn't enough to completely lose him, so I've finally merged some of his fixes into the software. But seriously, I'm thankful and frankly in awe.

Some things I've started working on for the next few days:

- Clean up the Guild. Hide dead forums like Persistent World. Hide dead features like the Arena leaderboard. Like, why is there still a message from 22 May 2017 above the reply box announcing the autosave feature?
- Update the server. Both the database and the forum's platform are out of date. It makes the system harder to work on. This will probably result in some downtime.
- Fix the Discord link and other assorted bugs that have cropped up over the last year.

I've also wanted to put some time into thinking about the Guild's future. What's next for the Guild? A slow death? Just the same ugly taxi cab yellow clashing into the same nauseating gray over and over again until there's nobody left for it to offend?

Is it too late to do something better? How much gas is left in the tank? etc.


i am so astronomically hard it is making me nauseous

I believe they're referring to the off-gray color background tables in biographies are receiving now. Tables on the site itself thread-wise seem to be fine, but tables in someone's bio are being finnicky. It doesn't need to be overly complex like @nodogs either, something as simple as [table][row][cell]testing something[/cell][cell]test[/cell][/row][/table] gets it.

I agree with fonts. All we have now is the, uh, Times new Roman? with h1/h2/h3 + "unicode" fonts that might not even work if we use them. Though with colors, we technically already have every color available, you just need the hexcode for it. Maybe the color tool could be changed to a color wheel or a hue slider so people don't have to manually look up colors? I've mentioned it prior to Legend when someone found the hex code site listed on the Guild was down and gone.

@Ambra

You can use any hex code you want to set colors. For example. Not sure how we can get more than 16 mil

That said, bbcode updates definitely have a light on them with existing previous effort to spark that flame—they're just so hard to validate as non-breaking. So I ask for patience on that front, since it's a higher-hanging fruit ^_^

A glow option would while utterly useless would make my brain go brrrr, black background might not bring out the shade or glow in font. But it'd be interesting.

There’s some features from the old site that I think could be useful to integrate on this one. Like how visitor messages used to work instead of being redirected to your own profile with every notification. Or the ease of browsing your own post with a previous button instead of a first page button.

Also with allowing us to change our own usernames, can you return to old names or are those locked behind those forever links?

yeah basically what kuro said. before tables in bios used to have no solid background (ergo the page matched the darker bio background) and now they're the same color background as regular forum posts

@Mahz also you beautiful son of a bitch I knew you'd come back someday. People called me a madman, said I was seeing ghosts but I knew!

Anyways, an actual feature that would be useful/interesting is getting updates to mobile devices or pings that can be seen without having to log on, or some kind of feature that would support it.

And also yeah the tables have a weird grey background.

a current rpg bug i've just encountered in the last 2 minutes: if you click on a thread containing multiple unread mentions, you can't then click the x on the remaining mentions in your notifications and have to go back to the thread to clear them

Yeah, I had something along those lines earlier. Someone thanked my post and I couldn't hit the X button, it just kept telling me "error deleting this status, please try again". Refresh, still same issue. The clear notifs button got rid of it, though.

edit: same thing happened upon @nodogs liking this post
