Childhood ruined. DO NOT CLICK. If you want a normal childhood

Some people also like to believe that Ash is in a coma and this is a dreamworld. Look up the theory, it's quite entertaining.

@Pfroggy1

I've seen that one too. It's amazing all the conspiracy theories that can be thought up by reading into the back stories.

Background images that don't match the rest of the styling always make me want to barf.

Lol. I know. How else would you suggest some sort of theme working.

Improving Interest Checks

Currently with an Interest Check people have to place their name down, comment, like, etc. to show that they are interested in a particular idea. Would it all be possible to add a "Sign Up" feature to the Check so that once the GM decides to start the OOC he can just click a button and it would notify all the applicants that a Check they signed up to has been progressed to a running RP? This would help keep people in the loop as to when an RP is about to start but doesn't necessarily require them to Subscribe to the Interest Check.

If that's causing too many hoops for people to follow or too many different ways to show that you're interested, could the feature just draw on all the Likes & Comments to generate an automatic list of members that it would notify?

It would also help out when the Interest Check and RP OOC don't match up in names as people may be looking for the particular name in the RP section.

Just a quick play around to see how a few things worked out. My suggestion for placing an image within the text box area just looked bad. Some other designs may work if it was a bit more specific with borders and possible text formatting (ie: Fantasy RPs could have their usernames in a stylish font, eg: [Link], however getting that to work on computers without font files may be an issue)

I was considering the top and the sides (perhaps the bottom), and if someone doesn't want to see them, they can disable it.

As a quick throw together, These don't look too bad. A concern we would have to address would be the text that happens to be light and where it would be positioned above certain images. With some images possibly containing varying colours and the requirement for a few different designs to suit the GM's vision, I'm guessing readability of would be high on the list. It's mostly with the lighter shades, but it will depend on the image.

When I get home I may play around with Photoshop and see what the results look like

I had an idea that would (most likely) have to be placed on the "Distant-Future" section of the roadmap, if implemented. We could allow roleplays to create their own skin for the thread, that would display for all users that opt-in, and allow a tick mark in the settings for those who prefer the plain gray art style. That allows for another level of customization within roleplays, and another individualizing factor that allows the players to make it their own.

@LegendBegins

How much of the forum page would be suitable for the cuatomisation? An idea I'm thinking that would look nice is like a watermark design from the top of the post that would possibly fade out after 600px or something, or some individual colours adjustments. As long as there's no ultra neon or clash of colours that looks like unicorn vomit. :P

Oh, well that sounds a bit rough. Hopefully you'll get to head home soon. :)

You get any benefits for staying longer than originally planned?

(And yes, I found the pikachu wallpaper and thought, "I need that as an avatar!")
